Interesting subject, and suggests the only remedy for the removal d in intolerable grievance, which has too long been suffered to exist. and which now forcibly demands the inter position of, Government : " As you have given a good deal of attention to the subject of the licensing laws, what appear to you to be the chief defects of the present system ?—I have thought much on the subject of public-house licensing and reErulation, and have conceived several modes of modifying the present system of licensing so as to mend it; but we have already about twenty Acts ‘'t Parliament on the subject, and all that has come of the patch-work is to produce a climax of error. I think the system is essentially the ver. worst which man's evil genius could have devised. The only use of it that I could ever discover, wis to raise and preserve monopolies against the pit! , c ~ interest, to put money into the pockets of ionic duals, to pro rnote hard drinking, and to protect disorderly houses. it does that which the Legislature ought never to do, viz. it endows certain men with the privilege of for bidding competition in the supply of victuals; and it leaves undone that which I think it is the bounden duty of . the Legislature to provides. viz. wholesome regulations to , discourage, and prompt remedies to correct, dru enness, obscenity and other disorders. What but is and private wrongs can be expected of such a ystem ? So ng as particular sets of men are privileged / to limi to particular persons and places the supply of a necessary of life, corrupt connections and mono polies will be formed to the injury of the Public. Sn long as such persons may ephold or put down victualling houses at pleasure, the worst houses will find supporters, and the best lie insecure of protec tion; so long as this money-making and uncontroul sable power is vested in Justices of Peace, sordid and tyrannical men will struggle to get in, and often still succeed in getting into the Commission, and the of fice will be one of suspiciofi with the Public. Then as to the rule of the system for suppressing disorders, strong and unconstitutionahas it is, against the pro prsity of.individuals, and against the interest of the Public, it is impotence itself for the object of keeping public-houses in order. If, for instance, bad prac tices prevail in October, the cognizance of them is deferred until the next September: by that time, the victualler has learnt how to make his peace, or at worst, he shifts the occupation to a new tenant, just before the licensing day, and there is an end of de sin ; but should the Justices determine on a strict]} -, severe course, and take away the licence, the owner' of the house, who may have had the misfortune to get a bad tenant, is punished for his misfortune by the deprivation of his property, while the transgressor walks off with impunity. " And how is an imputed transgression ascertained? a fair trial never takes place ; the sufferer seldom knows Wm is his accuser or what is the accusation ; the organ of information is usually the High Con stable, a man who may be said to be corrupt by virtue of his office, for he undertakes laborious duties without any ostensible reward ; his remuneraticn being derived from the custom of the publican, whom he generally holds in contribution by setting up t}e trade of a coal-merchant ; the Justices therefore ace liable to be imposed on by interested and false infor mation, and from the manner in which the issuing of licences is run through, there is not even time to enter into a proper investigation ; furthermore, if the complaint be truly .averred, whether it be on a trifling fault, or a series of crimes, there is but one Immure nf punishment, and that is,. the depriva ace 6 - the licence ; 'when sentence is pronounced no reason is given, lest the falseness or other badness of it may be used as a means of arraigning the judg ment; the sufferer therefore is set adnft, a ruined and perhaps innocent man ; not an example to the world of retributive justice on a transgression of laws, but the victim of a secret tribunal. Such are the flagnin errors of this system even in good hands ; how much worse it is in other hands, 1 need scarcely describe, after the evidence which has been exhibited before the committee ; dens of wickedness, the lurking places and rallying points of thieves and women of the wors t kind, are upheld in their licenses, in spite of the remonstrances of the suffering . neighbourhoods around them, while at the same time licenses are withheld from persons of faultless conduct, and in disregard of the evident wants and annual Olnitions of Liege and respectable neighbourhoods. " pas you consider the laws subjecting hlagis trAteS to an enquiry into their conduct, in the nature of a criminal information, effectual for the protection of the public against their acts 2—By no ibeans , :.--a criminal information is a mere &lawns/amen ; t here have been a few cases, to I.; sure, in which the Been cers have committed themselves within the reach of the law ; some have gone open-mouthed to the vic tuallers, telling them, that unless they voted for a particular candidate, they would ruin them by taking away their licences, and afterwards taking them „away, upon the victuallers not doing as they were bid ; but with common caution in abstaining from declaring reasons, it is next to an impossibility le gally to prove a corrupt motive : the greatest incon sistency and error may be manifest, but while these are capable of explanation as errors of judgment, the law will not visit them as sins of the heart : besides, a man ruined or seriously injured by the withholding of a license, is not in a condition to go to law with a Bench of Justices; and if he does, and succeeds in convicting them, he can get no relief for himself ; ail lie can procure is a punishment for his oppressors. " What powers strike you to be necessary for the better protection of individuals and the public, in regard to victualling-houses ?--I n t he fi rst place, I would subject victuallers to the government of laws, Tike other trades.iien ; not to the wills of individuals, who are oftentimes interested in destroying their pro perty, on the one hand, or, en the other, in support ing them in the most pernicious courses : I would re admit them within the pale and protection of the Constitution, and at the same time subject the exer. upon feiture of his license : to discourage the setting up of houses where there may not be a good prospect 11 trade without descending to bad means, I would quite a duty of 2001. to be paid on every new hood to be licensed. " With these guards, and remedies provided, but not otherwise, I should have no fear in emancipating victuallers and the public from their present state of bondage. I would break up the existing monopoly; and leave the setting up the trade of victualling, like that of other trades, to the free operatiozi of the wants of neighbourhoods, and the judgment of the individuals who• embark in it. Flash-houses, and other disorderly houses, would disappear under the coercion of laws ; competition, left to tts fair and be neficial course, would raise new houses in places where injurious monopolies are now upheld ; the public would be victualled at a better and cheaper rate; publicans would become, comparatively, independent and respectable; and the office of Justice of the Peace, reft of the unconstitutional and corruptible Reciting powei With which it is now enveloped, would rise ih the estimation of 'the public, and in the chaticters who would resort to it. I took the libel ty to express my ideas an this subject, in a letter to Lord Sid mouth, last year. These are the regulations which I suggested. I would just observe, that the regulations for the ultimate exclusion of brewers'from the owner ship of public-houses would be less necessary than at present, if the monopoly system be thrown open. " The throwing open of the monopoly system, how- Altr, d am well aware, will be strongly resisted by the, great brewers, the distillers, and the license job bers, who have fed and thriven so largely on it. It will be said, that persons who have given large stuns for licences, upon the expectation that they woula be defended from rivalry, will be injured, if others in their trade are allowed to oppose they ; but they can only be injured where the public is bsnefitei ; their customers will not leave them to be worse of. The Government yield no protection to butchers, bakers, and others, against the rivalry of their fellow-trades men ; what especial merit, then, is there in these spe culators, to entitle them, above all men, to a perpe tual monopoly, I am at a loss to conceive ; they ought to be thankful for the rich harvests which they have I already collected, and additionally so, if their mono poly be still in a degree favoured by the imposition of a fine of 2001. upon any one who would have per mission to compete with them. _ _ " It will also be pretended, that if the discretionary power of limiting the number of victualling-houses he taken away from the licensers. there will be an excess of such houses ; but the proposed 2001, and other expenses incidental to the opening of a victual ling-house, are pledges against establishments rising where they cannot thrive by orderly means, when regulations are provided for shutting them up imme diately if disorderly. Where injurious monopolies exist, if persons should come forward and pay Go vernment 2001. each for permission to victual neigh bourhoods cheaper, better, or more conveniently, no public interest can have cause of regret. Even if the demands of particular places should give rise to two or three public-houses, which are at present limited to one, it by no means follows that the frequenters of the one house will be more disorderly if divided and dispersed in two or three. On the contrary, experi ence roves that the worst practices prevail at houses enjoying most custom . " But if the principleirif taking off the restraint on the supply of victuals, and laying it on the disorders that may arise in the delivery of them (and the latter is all that is found necessary, or thought wise in countries whose public-houses are well conducted) he thought too radical an alteration to be adopted throughout England, I submit that it ought, at any rate, to be adopted in and about the Metropolis ; say within the limits of the London Police. No altera tion can make things worse in the licensing lays of that district. It is a peculiar jurisdiction--the Ma gisterial duties are chiefly performed by gentlemen who are paid for their labour, they, therefore, have no claim on the 1. - .itronage or indirect gains of licensing." before he obeyed, and • his first testimony. spade against this man. 40t1 they ought to be, re their importAnce, until a 'tration.

Madame Manson exercised, during the journey slie 4 has just made, a species of authority over the Gen'.' krarrnerie that escorted her.

Some time ago we informed our Readers that the Emperor of RUSSIA had written a letter to the Duke , of WELLINGTON, inviting him to employ his good owes as a Mediator between Prussia and France on 1 1 the private claims of the subjects of the former, for spoliations and robberies committed by the Revolu tionary Government of France and its armies. We now lay before our Readers what has been transmit ted to this country as a copy, or translation, we know not which, of the letter alluded to. It is a remarka • ble document, and we doubt not will excite consi derabie attention. For our own part we cannot con ceive on what ground any indulgence should be shewn'to Prance in relation to these claims. The question is A very simple one. The armed bands of an invader, by requisitions, robbery, and plunder, accompanied with much bloodshed and many insults and indignities, despoiled Prussia of much wealth and property it they carried away, besides what they Waited and destroyed :—On the other hand, roused by oppression and injuries, Prussia, in conjunc tion with other oppressed and insulted States, sent forth her warlike sons ; succeeded fa repelling the invader, and in her turn took poiieision of the French soil and capital. )flow mar e sequel r 4nstead of repaying the , aggnnicor in kind; instead ofnuining French property as a secomitence forAsee.aVeshich she-had been robbed, proposals were listened to, Wllieh ltadtor their r iirli . -1.„.. . elittliter,ttew: .. • . , ''' " -4 BREIVERS.

As tie States have the choice of the means, it is also their business to take measures to execute them ; and his Majesty is assured, that the Representatives of the Nation will neglect nothing to fulfil the expectations of his Ma jesty and of the.Nitsktis. If the States will estimate the necessary Jpealy. and apply to his Majesty en join his endeavours in this respect with those of the Agents of the Bank, his Majesty, fully convinced of the influence of the money system on the. general welfare, is not indisposed to contribute to it on his part ; and the sacrifices already made by his Majesty and the Crown Prince for this end, give the States a sure pledge of the continued care which his Majesty and his Royal Highnesss will not cease to give to this important branch of the general circulation.'"
