THE LATE MALT ACT, It was lately stated that Viscount Goinatea .had premised the Gentlemen deputed by the nialtiten -to r epresent the inconvenience which they apprehended from the operation 9f the new Malt Aet, that the sub ject would be taken into serious consideration by the Lords Commissioners' f his Majesty's Treasury. We are now enabled to produce a most satisfactory and authentic proof that the Noble Lord has redeemed his word, and that all the grounds of complaint have been rew ired, by the modification of the objectionable pro visions of the Act, or at least of those which had been Aimed to. This proof h contained in the following official communication addressed yesterday by Mr. F, Lewis to the heads of the Committee of Maltsterw In t hi s important document it is shewn that the Act *go ing which they bad petitioned, as having been te as ed through Parliament without the Malting Trade ar ing been fully cognizant of its provisions, was -amply considered in the Committee, and reprinted three times as amended—that during the proceed ings in Parliament many deputations al persons connected with the Malting-Trade were heard by the Lords oT the Treasury; and their observations Respect= ing the different clauses of the Bill examined in the most minute detail—and that the,Act itself is simply a re-enactment of old regulations, with a very few new ones, the object of which is to establish uni formity of practice throughout the United Kingdom. —Notwithstanding these facts, which completely clear both the Legislature and the Covens:tent from the charge of having lightly interfered with the proeiedinis and intere.ts of the Malt Trade, their Lordships have consented to modify-the operation of some of the pro visions Lithe present Bill, and to make certain allow ances till - the 10th of October, 1828, which will remove t he possibility of any inconvenience being felt in con sequence of the new regulations. They also direct. the Commissioners of the Excise to instruct their' officers to keep such accurate eccounts, as will enable bit M.jesty's Treasury to judge whether it will be desirable to prolong the indulgences now granted, b e yond tie 10th .ot Octobernext year. For the details of those indulgences we refer our readers to the official document itself. The measures adopted are of such a nature as to satisfy the honest trader, while they afford security against the fraudulent manufacturer of malt. It never was the intention of his Majesty's Govern ment to harass or take advantage of the former, w hil e it is their duty, at the same time, to guard the Revenue against the clamour produced by the latter. We say clamour, for we believe there is no doubt that the present occasion has been used to raise more difficulties then really existed. Viscount footnotes and Mr. FRAWILLAND L 111,13 deserve much praise for the ready attention which they have give to the subject, and the urbanity with which they have received the nu• merous deputations of Makatea. Mr. FRVILLAIID Lewis has showed as much gentlemanly conduct throughout as he has evinced knowledge of the techni cal pan of the subject, however difficult to the gene rality of persons hot in the Malting Trade.—The fol lowing is the communication: • , Trrasory Chambers, Oct. sz, 1827. "Stu—la an,erer to your several letters respecting the late Malt Act, representing the, inconveniencies which the mahout.* in the county of apprehend from its operation, I am directed to inform you, that the Lords Comnassiotiers of his Majesty's Treasury have had'the subject repeatedly under their considera tiess,-with a viewpot only to uncertain the exact grounds of the apprehensions which have been expressed, but whether there is soy foundation for suitements which hare been made, that the persons connected with the malting trade. were not fully cognizant of the diffetent provisions its the Bill before it had passed into a law. Their Lordships having refer red to the pt;tved votes of the Hou .e of Commons, for the purpose of ascertain ing the proceedings upon the Bill during its progress through Parliament, find that it was read the second time on the 2d of June last. and on the same day was ordered to he printed; that.it was considered in Com mittee many different times, on each of which it re ceived various akerations and amendments, and that it was three times reprinted as amended ; that during these proceedings in Parliament many deputations of persons connected with the malting trade in England, Ireland, and Scotland, were heard by the Members of this Board, and their observations respecting the diffe rent clauses and 'proposed enactments in the Bill were considered in the most minute detail, so that, before the passing of the Act, *tied took plate cm the Bd of July list, toy Lords understood that it had received the con currence and approbation of the trade. " Their Lordships having compared the provisions of the new Act with those which were previously in ope ration in England, Ireland, and Scotland respectively, find that a principal object of the Act is to establish one uniform system of regulation throughout the United Kingdom for collecting the malt duties; that with this new the old laws have been assimilated and consoli dated, the greatest part of the Act being simply a se enactment of old regulations, such as are new being fee in number, and designed chiefly to establish formity of practice. "Their Lordships having also adverted to the direc tions already given by them to the Commissioners of Excise, with respect to.the sections relating to cistern& and couch frames. and to the memorial of the,soill Commissioners, dated the Ifish instant, in which they. request their Lordship: further directions therein, of opinion, that any cisterns or coach firm* which *etc in use before the pawing ache late Ac‘arad whierb are so placed as to be accessible to the officer, and in constructed as to enable bun to gauge the , corn therein without obstruction and without error, shall be 'forth with certified by the proper officer, although the :ease may not in their consttnction conforni with the rules prescribed by the statute with reference to such cistern, and couch frames as shall be hereafter made. " That with respect to any couch frames or cisterns `..bich may be so situated as co impede the of fi cer in the discharge of his duty, and render it difficult for him correctly to gauge the grain contained therein, their Lordships are disposed to believe that many such caret permitted to exist under the operation of tin itch have hitherto been in force; bat if any such their. Lordships are of opinion that they should into such a state as will enable the officer tor lischarge his duty, before they are certified as for use, although in these cases also they do ire that the vessels shall be so altered as to be ,act shape and depth'defined by the statute. Got'erich has also made known to their Lord substance of the communications made to him deputations of maltsters, and the apprehen les ed by them as to different clauses of the lib a view, therefore, of yarding every facility is ugaged in the malting trade, and of rano,- tesb aims which may not be necessary for the and equal collection of the revenue, their Lord- rig ise 1 Cr ships have been pleaeed to ditett the following commu nication to be made to the Commissioners of Excise: 4 ' First—With respect to the 25th - al LISAs direct that under_ the regulations tarnesk'lltaltstere alma be allowed from their cisterns throughout the _ without the limitation of period therein " Second—With respect to the miltsters shall not be required to the conch frames longer than 26 hours, if before expiration of that period the officer shall have taken a gauge of the said corn, whilst still in the couch frame; , but if no such rage shall so bare been taken, the coin shall continue in the couch frame until the guage is taken, provided always that the, officer shall attend for that purpose before the expiration of 30 hours. "Thirdly—With respect to the 42d section of the ,said Act, the =haters having represented that by the, regulations therein contained, the duty will in some districts, when a particular system of malting is pur sued, be charged in warm weather upon a greater quantity of malt-tban will be actually manufactured by such maltsters, their Lordships are desirous of pointing out that the main object of the Act is to provide the means generally throughout the United Kingdom of charging with the duty of 2s. 7d. every bushel of malt which shall actually be made; and their Lordships are tot convinced that more than this would generally be charged, if the provisions contained in this section were carried into executOnto their fullest extent : never.' tbeless, in consequence el thelpprehensions expressed by the enlisters, they are pleased redirect, that in the first instance, and until the 10th of October, 1828, au allow. &ace of oae•third shall be made on the quantity tricorn ascertained by gauge, to be taken at any period betweenl , the expiration of the time for the corn to remain in the couch, and seventy-two hours from the time at which, such corn shall have been emptied from the cistern; and .that upon all subsequent iloor-gauges the trader shall be allowed one-half, in lieu of only one-third. " Their Lordships further direct the Commissioners of Excise to instruct their officers to keep such accurate and particular accounts of these different operations u may enable them, at the expiration of the above period, to stite to their Lordships how far the regulations above prescribed, for carrying the provisions, of the act into effect, shall have actually succeeded, in charging with the duty of 2s. 7d. per bushel the whole quantity-of malt made in order that their Lordships may be enabled to judge whether it will be desirable to prolong beyond. the 10th of October, 1828, the indulgence hereby grant; ed, or adopt any other regulations for more effectually securing the objects of the act. " I am, F4r, your obedient servant, 0 T. FRANELAND LEWI3." TORTOLA. r--. IItITRACT 01 A P!IIVATI LRTTIL Torroz.a, Auo. 19, 11327.—The last week has been pregnant with a very alarining event. The whole of the negroes (with the exceptioa of the tradesmen) oo Nibbs Estates, struck work shoat a fortnight ago, under an idle notion that they were all entitled to their free, dom under the will of their former master. Every for- 1 bearance was evinced towards them by the attorneys of Mrs. Nibbe, who are in the possession of the properties; they were allowed to consult and. obtain the opinion of Counsel on their title to freedom; who, after due exa. l mination, and three days' deliberation, informed them' that they had not the slightest pretensions thereto under the will in question, or any other to be found among the records—that they were under an idle delusion.; and advised them to return quietly to their work. They, nevertheless, persisted in refusing to do , so. Several other persons then, among the rest one of the Methodist Missionaries (many of the negroes being in-the Society), went to the estate and remonstrated with them on the impropriety of their conduct, the evil example they were setting to others, and the consequences that must result from it. It, however, produced not the least effect ; and they became so riotous on the 16th, that it was found necessary to adopt some measures to restore subordination among them, and, as there was no militia or any other military force in the island, the managers from every estate were assembled, and, accompanied by a Magistrate and neatly 200 trusty negroes, who had been selected for the purpose, proceeded to the estate, situated near the town, before daylight on the morning of the 17th, surrounded their dwellings before they were aware of the movement, and succeeded in securing the whole of them, except two of the principal ringleaders, who unfortunately escaped. The major part of those who were thus apprehended still persever ing in their refusal ttiresuase their work, were brought into town, and committed to prison. They have since undergone an examination, and been remanded until Tuesday nett, when a further investigation is to take place. fortunately, this spirit of insubordination has not extended beyond the properties in question, and I flatter myself the proceedings which have taken place Will prevent its spreading. Saturday the mortal remains of TALMA, 'Which bad been provisionally deposited in the East Cemetery, in vault belonging to the family of M. DAYILLIERS, sen. stiere transferred to the tomb where they are eternally to repose. The artists of the Comedic Fraucaise, and a great number of other persons, assisted at the pious ceremony.—French Paper of Saturday. One of the most animated contests that ever took placed foe the office of Mayor is now going on in Liver. pool. The candidates are THOMAS C. POMTSR A Esq. Art NICHOLAS ROBINSON, big. both Gentlemen of the [highest respectability, and both entertaining the same political sentiments. The election commenced on !Thursday last, and continued until midnight. On Friday morning the poll recommenced, and was kept open until five o'clock in the evening, when it was adjourned till Saturday. At the close of the poll on the latter day, the numbers of freemen who had voted for each candidate were equal, being 1,160. The-poll was to be esnmed yesterday morning, and the contest was not expected finally to close before tomorrow. Last night, about half-past eleven o'clock, an alarm ing fire broke out on the premises of Mr. Jonathan Edwards, grocer and cbeesertrowier, No. 64, Castle street; Somerstown, which for i considerable time threatened total devastation to the surrounding houses, especially to those in a sorrow court in the rear, occu pied by numerous poor families. The tames were first discovered bursting through the kitchen siindowsi and in a eery few moments they ascended with such ra pidity that the wholerearises were engulpheet i n th e devouring element,The various fire engines soon arrived on the spot, and were put into immediate action, yet the flames continued to rage with unceasing fury, not withstanding the exertions of the firemen, and a plentiful supply of water. At about ball-past twelve the roof of Mr. Edwards house fell in with a tremendous crash, burying everything in the ruins, and not the least vestige of property could be saved from the flames. !FORTING 1: THEATER_. ; -rawa "°DftUJstL .e Phi of ruirrre - wet itttforibed at this Mike* night with vivatuiet as Mita, and untended, presume, as a conoterpoise lb Staxaramte with and Kuntz, at the other house.

Mr. Inston instantly lowered the rope to him, but Rutter was so overpowered that he could not take hold of it. At this time only a boy was on the spot, and Mr. Inston then descended to give the man assistance, which he so tar effected as to raise him oat of the water, when he also became overpowered, and requested to be drawn up. The boy immediately game an alarm to some persona who were at work at a little distance, but before they reached the spot Mr. Inston had left his hold, and, with Rutter, was precipitated to the bottom. Half an bout elapsed before assistance could be proensetd,.when another pump.maker, named Caswell, who was at wos k at a short distance, descended the well,and after some difficulty brought up both the bodies. Mr. Leedsam, jun. arrived at the instant, but too much time had elapsed for his professional endea vours to have the least effect. The bodies were then removed, to await the coroner's inquest.
