ALLSOPP'S PALE ALE AND DR. GLOVER

MHE circulation given to a statement tending to
I invalidate the expression of Dr. Glover's opinion in favour
of Pale Ale, compels Messrs. ALLSOPP and SONS to connect
this remarkable distribution of a calumny with other insidious
attacks upon their firm which they have reason to know pro-
ceed from an unworthy and unneighbourly jealousy.
Messrs. ALLSOPP and SONS, in reply, deem it their best
course to adopt the same line of conduct as in the case of the
similar perversion and mutilation of Baron Liebig's meaning,
so indignantly repudiated by that em• ent man himself. They
publish, therefore, without abridg t, the letter they received
from Dr. Glover, (having his pe • ission to do so,) a letter the
more valuable because it was t intended for publication, and
is an unpremeditated evide eof the learned Chemist's just
appreciation of Pale Ale :

DR. GLO R TO MR. ALLSOPP.
" Newcastle-on-Tyne, April 11.
" Sir,—lt was not y intention, in writing the hasty note to
' The Lancet,' to st any reflections upon, or to implicate in
any way, respec le brewers of pale ale.
" When I st saw the statement about the alleged use of
strychnine in bittering ale, I looked upon the assertion as in-
credible, both on account of the price of the drug and the
symptoms it would create; but, on experiment, I found that

strychnine possesses such Wonderful bitterness, :that it might
perhaps be used as AN ADJUVANT, at least by UNPRINCIPLED
PERSONS. In short, my object was simply to show that the
thing was not altogether so impossible as it appeared at first
sight to be. _ _ _

7` My opinion is, that hops should not enjoy the exclusive
privilege of being used for bittering beer ; but J do not pretend
to discuss the point with practical men.
. _

" I know there are bitters which might be used beneficially,
in a medical point of view.
_

" With regard to analysing your beer, my time is taken up,
so far as analysing and chemistry are concerned, with two
kinds of inquiries-Ist, those which are purely scientific ; and
2d, those which are profitable. If you wish me, in the latter
capacity, to analyse and report on your beer, I, of course can
have no objection.
" I have to prepare for an absence of three or four days to-
morrow, and so beg you to excuse me replying to the letter of
Mr. Bottinger, for which I am much obliged.—Yours, &c.,
(Signed) " R. M. GLOVER.
11,Allsopp, Esq."

" P.S.—I presume you will hardly expect:me to write to The
Lancet.' However, I shall be at home on Thursday evening,
and most assuredly I have no desire to say anything which
could weaken the confidence of the public in your beer. BUT
THAT I AM NOT NOW IN THE HABIT OF DRINKING BITTER
BEER, I SHOULD BE GLAD TO SHOW MY CONFIDENCE BY
DRINKING PLENTY OF IT."

Messrs. ALLSOPP and SONS beg to refer to the letter of
Mr. HENRY ALLSOPP on this subject, in the " Monthly
Journal of Medical Science," for October, in the concluding
paragraph of which it is said—
" I inserted Dr. Glover's good-natured remark on my Bitter
Beer as an incidental testimonial'—no more. I never called
it a certificate,' nor did I apply to him, or any other medical

struction has been placed upon the off-hand expressions of
good opinion which have been sent to me from all quarters."
Messrs. ALI.SOPP and SONS, in conclusion, wish to draw
the attention of the public and the trade to the fact, that, by
this disin.wpmions system of attack, and the perversions of facts

gratuitously adopted, they are unwillingly drawn into that
publicity the courting of whichis made an accusation against

Them,

(FIRST DOOR FROM LORD-RTREET,)
FOSTER and KENYON, PROPRIETORS

Messrs. FOSTER and KENYON respectfully inform Agri-
culturists generally, that being aware of the
,great extent to
which Bone Dust has been adultrated (thus greatly injuring the
interest of the Agriculturist) they pledgeSliemselves to vend a
Genuine Article only, at the lowest re r nerative price, and in
order to ensure effectually their pat . receiving it in lle same
pure state, every Bag will be seal-. before leaving the Mills.
Messrs. F. and K. consider i .nnecessary in I this advertise-
ment to go into the merits • Bone Dust as a Manure, as its
great fertilising powers are universally admitted by all the
leading Agriculturists and Chemists of the age.
Messrs. F. and K. will fully guarantee all Manure forwarded
direct from their Mills to the consumer to be perfectly pure un-

adulturated Bone Dust ; and are if at any time a doubt
as to the genuineness should arise, that it should be tested by an
experienced analytical Chemist, binding themselves, should it
not prove genuine, to refund the amount of the Invoice on the
return of the Manure, and to defray all charges both for car-
riage and testing._ _ _ _

Messrs. F. and K. would respectfully urge on the notice of
Agriculturists that they are the first parties ever offering them
such perfect security in the quality of their Manure, and they
trust that this fact will insure them a liberal patronage.

Messrs. F. and:K. will grind the Bone Dustiiito three different
sizes, which they will designate Nos. 1,2, 3.
No. 1. Superfine Dust (that can only be obtained at these
Mills,) and which they strongly recommend to the Tenant
Farmers, as it will immediately produce the most satisfactory
results.

No. 2. Fine Dust and Small Lumps, which will act for several
years.
No. 3. Coarse Dust and Large Lumps, which will act for a
greater number of years.
Present Price, per Ton, delivered free at any Railway
Station in Liverpool. or on board any Vessel in the Port.
TERMS—CASH ON DELIVERY.

N.B.—Messrs. F. and K. will contract for any quantity of
Bones, and will also take Bones in payment for Manure at the
highest Market Price.

WILLIAM J. HORSFALI

Everton,lGtla October, 1852.

TO THE ELECTORS OF EVEFA.TON AND KIRK-

DALE WARD,

GENTLEMEN,
A FTER receiving a Requisition from so large and
influential a body of the Electors of your Ward, I feel I
ought not to hesitate in acceding to their request that I would
allow myself to be nominated as a Candidate to represent you
in the Town Council at the ensuing Election.

Having resided for so long a pei•iod in the Ward, and been
actively engaged in the business of the Town, my general views
are known to many of you; and I shall be happy to explain
them more fully to those with whom I have not the honour of
being acquainted.

lii-vini taken some part in the education of the poor in this
Ward, for many years, I need scar el say that I consider a
terip
Scriptural system of instruction the only safe and sound one
upon which the education of population can be based.
Too great attention cann e r paid to the sanatory regulations
of the Town; and ever ng that will contribute to the health
and comfort of its i itants will have my best attention.
Should you do honour of returning me as one of your
Representatives to the Town Council, you may rest assured
that my best exertions shall be used, not only to promote the
interest of this Ward in particular, but of that of the Town in
general. _ _

I have the honour to remain,
Gentlemen,
Your obedient servant,
THOMAS DARNLEY ANDERSON.
Northumberland-terrace, Everton, Oct. 8, 1852.

TO THE BURGESSES OF EVERTON AND

KIRKDALE WARD,

GENTI
IHAVE received a Requisition, most respectably
and numerously signed by the Burgesses of the Northern
If to be

_
Division of the Ward, requestir
nominated as their Candidate at

tion. Since then I have made inquiries into the Southern
Division of the Ward, and the result of those inquiries is such

wishes of t

Requisiticniists, which I cheerfully do. .
The fallacy of making political opinions the _test of a man's
fitness to enter the Council is fast disap eating, and the con-
sideration of whether he will give af ' °Mort of his time to
the interests of his fellow-burgess , expending the funds en-
trusted to his charge :in an able and economic manner
vh: It at 0- tir

while. ...le same time be ps in view the progressive im:
provement of the tow oth in its sanatory condition and
intellectual characte fast superseding it.
Of this change ave seen many proofs within these few days.
The Health Committee, of which I have been a member five
years, and latterly its Vice-Chairman, exercises a control over
the expenditure of from £BO,OOO to £lOO,OOO per annum. This
large sum is extracted from the pockets of the Burgesses in the
form of Rates, and it must be evident to An _ •

_ Ju WllO nave given tne
subject the slightest consideration, that the care which is used
in its expenditure must regulate the amount to be levied on the
Burgesses. A comparison of the Rate levied in 1848 and that
of 1851 will be a convincing proof of what I have above stated.
The Rate levied for Paving, Sewering, by the Health
_

Committee was,
In Everton Township, in 1848, 2s. 9d. in the pound,
In Kirkdale ~ in 1848, 3s. od. in the pound.
The Rate levied for the same purposes in 1851 was—
For Everton.... Is. 3d. in the pound; and
For Kirkdale .. Is. 9d. in the pound.
Prudence and economy,: with constant attention, have effected
this reduction.

sentiments are well known to most of you ; but should there
be any Elector to whom my opinions ar bt known, I shall
have much pleasure in stating them on y question required.
Having been a Member of the Sele estry for several years,
and for the last two years one of th verseers of this Parish, I
feel that I possess considers knowledge of your require-
ments. In discharging the ties of that office, I have en-
deavoured, on all occasion o relieve the Ratepayers' as far as
consistent with a due re dto the necessities of the Poor. In
connection with the ect Vestry, I have strenuously opposed
the establishmen Emigrant Sheds on the Dock Quays,
which, if erected; would have been very prejudicial to the Rate-
payers of this locality.
If elected a Member of the Town Council, I shall continue
my exertions in protecting your interests and those of the
town at large, by endeavouring to effect the Repeal of the ex-
isting Regulations, which permit the use of Fires and Lights
on board Ships, the disastrous consequencee of which have been
so severely felt by the Householders of this neighbourhood.

TN the year 1845 an Act was obtained for the j..con-
struction of a Line of Railway from Ambergate to Boston
(via Nottingham and Grantham,)called the " Ainbergate, Not!
tingham, and Boston, and Eastern Junction Railway;" hut the
difficulties of 1847 prevented the Company carrying out the
undertaking in its integrity, and they were compelled to limit
their operations to the formation of the line from Nottingham
to GrAntlinm_ thPrehv shshnelnnincr the. rnnot

in the undertaking-the connecting the midi
the port of Boston.

Id districts Witt

The link in the chain of direct railway communication be-
tween Nottingham and Boston being still unsupplied, the im-
portant manufacturing towns of Birmingham, Derby, and
Nottingham, as also the Potteries, are yet compelled to avail
themselves of the ports of Grimsby or Hull for their.means of
export and import to and from the Baltic and Dutch ports
The Port of Boston being nearer to rho

than
either Grimsby or Hull, and the latter ports being each about
30 miles further distant from Nottingham (the key of the Mid-
land districts from the east) than the Port of Boston, it follows
that, for many articles of export and import, this latter place,
as a shipping port, hag over the other two an indisputable ad-
vantage, while, at the same time, the new line of communica-
tion proposed to be provided, would also give to those ports
additional access to the Midland districts.

At this t►me vessels or 400 tons burthen (a class of vessel
usually employed in the Baltic trade) discharge their cargoes
at the quays in Boston; and the navigation offers facilities for
great improvement, which, if found expedient to carry out,
would enable vessels of considerably larger tonnage to enter
the port.

By means of dock accommodation, also, great advantages
w I (be afforded to the shipping of the port.
To secure the important results which will unquestionably
arise by connecting the Port of Boston with the Ambergate
Railway at or near to Grantham, from whence an uninterrupted
line of railway now extends to Nottingham and all the Midland
districts of the kingdom, this undertaking is submitted to tI
favourable consideration of the public.

the formation of the Docks, from the favourable nature of the
site selected, will also be constructed at comparatively small
