Aayitf I cO3I3IITTEE-ROOM, LONDON-TAVERN, April 8. a. T a SPECIAL MEETING of the LICENSED VICTUALLERS, held this day, it was Resolved—That the tollowing Petition be presented to the Honourable the Commons of ;:is United Kingdom of Groat Britain and Ireland, in Parliament assembled _ . _ • ------ - file humble Petition of the undersigned Proprietors and occupiers of Public !louses in London and its Vicinity. - - Showeth —That your petitioners have learnt with surprise and alarm, that a Dill has recently been introduced into your Honour. able House, for the purpose of removing all r;strictions on the Sale of Beer by retail, which 11111 your petitioners humbly conceive to be as unjust in principle, as it will prove to be injurious to them, and mischievous to the public in its operation ' if passed into a law, whilst it is unnecessary for the attainment of the object proposed. That your petitioners arc members of a large body of the com munity, who have embarked their money in property affected by this Bill. That the money so employed by a great number of your petitioners constitutes the whole earnings of their inanity and eco met), fur a series of years, and that the entire capital vested in public houses and the requisite furniture amounts to no lea a sum than Thirty Millions. That until the last few weeks your petitioners had every reason to Lehere that the property thus acquired was as perfectly secure to them as that belonging to any other members of the community, and t!i.it the same laws, under which they had been enabled to obtain it, would have been continued, so as to preserve to them the fruits of their labour. That relying upon the continuance of such laws—laws which have existed without interruption four centuries—the far greater number of your petitioners have entered into engagements which they will be wholly unable to perform, whereby many will be rerluced to a state of pauperism, whilst numerous orphans and others, whose sole subsistence depends upon annuities charged upon this dcwziption of property, will find themselves wholly destitute, and be compelled to resort to their several parishes for relief. That your petitioners, who are publicans, trut.t that their con. .!uet as a body will be found to have been such as to render them not undeserving of the attention and support of your Honour:lgo House. That it has been their constant endeavour to merit the ap probation of the public, and, so far as their means would allow, of preventing any of their members from becoming burdensome to the rat of the community ; and with this view they have, under the fostering care of un Illustrious Duke, from time to time subscribed such sums of money as, in the result, has enabled them to provide for the support of their necessitous and unfortunate members and their families, and for the education of their children. That your petitioners feel convinced that your Honourable House will not proceed to alter laws materially affecting thirty millions of property, without the fullest inquiry, and the most mature delibera tion, more especially as it cannot fail to be remembered that those laws having had their origin, at all events, as early as the fifteenth century, the principle established by them has not only been invaria ble adhered to, but has been confirmed and fortified by successive l'a . riiamenis troll') that time to the present ; and that no attempt was ever made to interfere with that system until the year 18:12, when propositions submitted for limiting the controul of the Magistracy it: granting licences for the retail of beer were rejected by your Honourable House, upon the ground that the measure was preg. nant with the most pernicious tendencies, and that if the power and controul theretofore exercised by magistrate's were withdrawn, or in any manner restricted, great disorder and immorality would neces sarily ensue. That your petitioners conceived that, by the Statute 9th (ho. IV. chap. 61 (commonly called Mr. Estcourt's Act), every evil and abuse that was supposed to have crept into the system of licensing public neusea was effectually checked or destroyed. That, by the existing law, Magistrates are empowered to license ary number of houses they may think tit ; that, in the exercise of their discretion, it is their duty to be guided by a due regard to the ropulation, and the necessities of that population, on the one hand, and to the moral habits and dispositions ot' the people on the other, urd that such discretionary power has been wisely confided to those who. as a body, have exercised it with integrity and judgment—the r.r.!aral conservators of the public peace. That your petitioners collect from the provisions of the bill that it intended to withdraw this wholesome controul front the 3lagis tracy—to enable any individual to obtain a licence at his own mere will and pleasure, and open a public house for the sale of beer wherever and whenever he may think fit, under the impression that, by augmenting the number of public houses, the consumption of the article will be increased, the price diminished, and the public derive a corresponding benefit. That your petitioners arc duly sensible of the advantage that must result to the community at large from the abolition of the duty, and that a considerable increase in the consumption of beer will necessarily follow. Your petitioners, however, respectfully submit, that the expectation of any further increase, by reason of ut:limittd and uncontrolled licensing of public houses, will not be realittl, but on the contrary ; as your petitioners, if permitted se to do, are prepared to prove that the quality of the article will be detcrioratt.d, the price augmented, and, consequently, that the consumption will not be increased nor the public bettefitted. • That in the year 1824, being the find after the passing cf the Act authorising the sale by retail of beer of an intermediate quality, the number of licensed public victuallers in England and %Vales was 48.804, of which number 22,573 brewed their own beer ; and there was also at the same period 25 intermediate brewers. That the total quantity of beer brew;:d by the public brewers in the year ending July, 1824, was 3,744,143 barrels; by the victuallers 2,345,738 ; red by the intermediate brewers 15,937 ; making together a total of toua t usa barrels. That in the same year, 1824, another Act was passed, with the view of increasing the consumption, by which "was were enabled, for the first time, to sell beer by retail ; and thus, as the demand might front time to time arise, the public were patented with the means of obtaining a supply of beer to an unli. nand extent throughout every part of the country, and wholly in. dependent of the licensed victuallers. That since the year 1824, and in addition to the means of supply provided by the two statutes referred to, a progressive increase has taken place in the number of licensed victuallers, and that in the year ending sth January, 1830, the total number amounted to 50,441, of which 23,304 brewed their own beer. There were also it this period 22 intermediate brewers, and 1,269 retail brewers, tasking an increase within the last five years and a half, in the num. bet alienates licensed for the sale of beer, of 2,907, exclusive of the retailers of intermediate beer, fur the sale of which no li. eetse ass requisite. That at the last.mentioned period the quantity of beer brewed by the public brewers was 3,589,363 barrels by the victuallers, 2.10;,09G; by the retail brewers, 213,8:11; and by the intermediate brown., 56438; waking a total of only 6,004,788 barrels; and thus r..Uf Hunouraltle Rouse will perctive, that notwithstanding the great ircrease in the number of licensed houses, and of the fact. ilirs :Amin! for an unlimited supply of the article, there has been a falling t.ffin the entire quantity of beer brewed in England and %Vales of upwatds of 100,000 barrels. That your Honourable Horse will he aware, that in all cases where the supply is fully evil .to the demand (and in the present instance it has been proved by the foregoing statement to be more th..a equivalent to it), every addition to the number of retailers regards the price of the article, detrimental to the public ; fur if :)! voiding 21$) barrels of beer per annum, at a pioht of 10s. per tiara, a publican can obtain a moderate subsistence for himself and Wilily. it is evident that if he can sell only WO barrels (which ex- Leeds the average quantity sold by 45,0h1 licensed victuallers in .be country.) he must charge an extra price to the public to enable him to I. v That y.ur petitioner. r.!so beg to represent to your Honourable liacee. that liter is an article liable to be materially injured by ravages of temperature—is in other respects of a perishable nature. .end requires not only constant attention, but a competent knowledge it the taticle, to enable the vender of it to deliver it out iu good 'That it has also this peculiarity attached to and inseparable 'rout it via. that its flavour and goodness (be i ts otiginal qualities ever.'. eteclknt) depend upon the quickness with which it is drawn brunt th e eatA, and that on this account also it is materially for the I tosfit tt Me community that the venders of beer should nut be ex tls's:4l beyond what is necessary to supply the demand. That 3 has hitherto been the constant aim of the Legislature to itatect the public against any adulteration of so general and impor -u.ta Ir...er age ; and your petitioners humbly submit, that it will n 'rally impracticable to prevent the offence of adulteration, if ;/ 4 trade be extended in the manner proposed by the Bill now be.

And your petitioners, there. lure : fisel unit they may with confidence repose upon the wisdom and •tie justice of your Honourable House, for preventing such a Bill ;rum passing into a law. Your petitioners finally and humbly beg to call the attention of s.iur Honourable House to the fact, that no provision has bean intro s uced into 'ht present bill for compensating those who will be suf lepers from it. enema tits. That your petitioners cannot but feel 701 1Sidtrabil sottish* at the omission of such &provision, inasmuch as jlj N°• 13,451. SATITR,DAY EVENING, APRIL 17, IS3t►. PRICE 7D. it seems to them most inequitable, and they believe it to be inconsist ent with the practice of the Legislature in every case where the ge neral good requires the alteration of any existing law--that those who have acquired property under the sanction and guarantee of the law, or even of the Government, should be suddenly deptived of their property, their offices, or their emoluments, without an ade quate compensation ; and your petitioners cannot therefore bring themselves to believe, that under any circumstances your Honour able House would, in your humanity and justice, permit full 250,000 industrious subjects of his Alajesty, to be reduced from a state of comparative comfort to poverty and ruin. Your petitioners, therefore, humbly pmy that your Honourable House will be pleased to take the subject into your most se rious consideration, and that your petitioners may be permitted to be heard by themselves and their Counsel, or Agents, in support of the facts they have ventured to set forth, and against the Bill passing into a law, and, as in duty bouml, your peti tioners will ever pray.

The Mail from Carthagena has brought lette;s from Bogota to the 14th Jan. The Liberator was expected to enter the capital on the following day ; two regiments were wi..11 him and se veral others were to follow. The separation of Venezuela had excited every feeling at Bogota but that of fear. It was not doubted that the Congress would pn claim the Republic, and after organisir.g its go vernment, would direct General Bolivar to proceed to Venezuela, to restore the authority of the laws, where (as letters from the province affirm) he had only to appear to re-establish union and order. The black population was particularly favourable to Genera Bolivar. who had emancipated all his own slaves, bought the freedom of all the slaves in Bolivia, with the money voted to remunerate his se r. vices, and had made the slave trade piracy in his treaty with Peru ; on the contrary, the Separatist party were known to be mnst advent to the laws for the abolition of -livery, and mime had even sent a Petition to Congress, begging their suspension. The letters from Ls Uuayra come down to the middle of February. All was quiet ; but General Pant had increased suspicions against himself by giving General Soublette—the greatest paso..al friend of General Bolivar I —the command of the Venezuelan army.
