Mr. R. Moslem( presided. • On the subject •of an adherence to the certificate system, Mr. Gate contended, that if it could be made effective, it would protect the fair trader as well as the Government. He firmly believed that not a Maltster in the kingdom for the last thirty years, had paid the full duty claimed by the law. As the certificate system now stood, it was unjust and oppressive. He moved a resolution to that effect, which, however, was negatived, the system being generally considered as affirding a loop hole f•r unfair traders to get out in cheating the revenue. The referee was instructed accordinglf. On the subject of sprinkling the barley in the•process cf malting, Mr. Kent, Mr. Gosling, Mr. Fatten, and ether maltsterp, gave their opinion. It was ultimately decided that endeavours should be made to abolish sprinkling. as by such means the corn was swelled, and an increase obtained. The CHAIRMAN next advtrted to the most oppressive part•of the late enactment, viz. the penalty on the couch gauge. He said the Chancellor of the Exchequer was wrong in t.tating, the duty on malt was an ancient duty. Beer drinking first occurred in Henry the Seventh's time, and he (the Chairman) had no doubt but that ra• pacious Monarch taxed beer drinkers. In ig4s. the first duty on beer was laid on, and on the 1 2 th of April ' 1714, the first duty on malt of Bd. - per bushel. continued op to this day. In 1787, the duty on malt e as raised to 105.61 per quarter, and at present it was • 20s. Bd. per quarter ; recollecting the value of money in 1787. when 6. sir was Ns. a sack, and the quarern loaf Std. the increase in the Malt duty was not great. The penalties by the new Act had greatly increased.— In the old Act there were nine penalties,, not reaching in all to lOW.' in the new Act 106 penalties, amounting; to 186,0001. How was it possible few the Trade to . go on without some amelioration ? The couch duty was the moat oppressive. Mr. FORD said, the Chancellor of the Exchequer bad sent a communication for the Maltsters to take this subject into consideration. He world, in his conference •wiin Mmiaer., endeavonr to promote the general good of the Trade, and would enforce the resolution that double duty should be charged for all that was over , guaged in the Couch.—Tne Meeting then adjourned. .

Mr. Wells, of Piercefield, was sitting at breakfast, he pe r . ceived through the window, at some distance, an extra ordinary blaze of light. which was found, on inquiry, to pr..ceed.from a Ere that had broken out in the wood shove Abbey Tinter n, just below Ws. Cottage. on the road to Chepstow. A terrible coufl gra , son ensued, arid raged with great fury until about three o'clock iii the afternoon. when it ceased, in consequence of the sagacious measures that had been in the mean time adopted by Mr. Wells, who cause a space of ground to be cleared in advance of the flames, and thus prevented their fuithrr roves,. This was happily effected in time to preserve the beautiful wood under Pier cefield, which would otherwise have fallen a sacrifice to the destructive element.—MoronotriAshire Medals.

Last night a sew Pantomime was produced at Sad• lees Wells Theatre, which is arranged by the old fa vourite of the pablic, sen. who, unable any longer by active exertion to please the public, is em ployed in his study for their amusement. The Panto. mime is .founded on aid hears the title of the well known nurserytale of the Three Wishes, and when we say that it is got np by Mr. GRIMALDI, from twelve different Pantomimes in which he was most popular, it will be seen that we cannot speak in higher commen dation of it After the Pantomime en Interlude entitled Intrigue, and the Melodrame of Paul Jones, were per formed.

The morning was unfavourable to the far famed sports of Greenwich ; but about three o'clock, the Sun, no longer obscured by clouds, again bestowed the happy tribute of its beneficent rays. The effect was soon vi sible in the joyous faces of the holiday lads and lanes. Whitsuntide is generally auspicious to the votaries of dress, and on this occasion there was a b'illiant display of holiday suits. The road from the Elephant and Castle presented unbroken lines of youthful pedestrians, moving to the scene of mirth and fest' vity. The equi. page►, as usual in holiday times, were diversified ; we obsessed carriages of every class, from the broad wheel coal waggon to the donkey cart. Groups( f kind hearted queens of the dripping pan, and knights of the thimble, rode in triumph, drawn by Blackheath lions, alias Joiskies. Several of these civic precessions produced much fun and frolic. Of late years the limits of the fair have increased annually, and it may niw he said to extend from the Bricklayet's Arens to Greenwich. On evil side of the road We have an ample display of all amusements and apparatus for extracting the brownies. The OW Kent toad w.ts all lite nut of London; the World Turned Upsidedown, the Green Man l'avein, the Prince Co burg, and the famous Turk's Head, were thronged so ith company—every preparation was made for the Bacha• nalia, and comfortable things were enjoyed in high ; f lee. The shows this year are splendid, but not numerous. Scowton's Royal Pavilion occupied the ground near the Creek bridge, and like a towering castle commands the Thespian domain. Its gilded pageantry and gothic turrets present a formidable appearance. The tragic muse holds sway within the portal,. and heroes die to please apprentices.

HOKKIBLIS OUTRAol.—(Extract of a letter front Ai magi), Julie 2 )—On Sunday night last, or rather Monday morniog, the house of M'Ardla was burned down. Some dispute had occurred between his son and others in Par taJotisn on Saturday. To teveny i e this feed a number • f men, from ten to twenty, approached M'Ardle's (the father's) house, and aqemoted to break into it. He resisted—he was cut with a hatchet on the head; in this state he got a biro-et, an t stabbed one of those who attempted his life. On this the patty retired, hut returned and set Ste to his house; those in the hots e came out to save thein-etves from being burned, they also endeavoured to at re.t the fl Imes, but on their at tempting to do so they were filed at with guns fromthe bilis; in consequence they were obliged to desi..t, and the house was committed to the flames. We understand that examinations were sworn before a Magistrate by M'Ardle the father against two persons, and aeainst four men by M'Ai rile the son. The Police were in attend ance, but the persons:worn against are still at large.— /Mlle Mondial; Register. Sunday morning test two young men, named George Holme and John Fryer, neither of whom could swim, got out of their depth, while bathing at Lea Marsh, 4nd before assistance could be procured the former was drowned. Fryer was more fortunate : he managed to regain his (coring, and on giving the alarm a boat was ptocurei, and every means use 4 to find his companion, but without success; and it was not until the tide had sufficiently ebbed, about an hour after, that the body was taken up quite dead.

There was a most numerous meeting of the members on Friday evening last, the attraction being a promised narrative by Dr. Clarke of his ascent nt Mont Blanc in 182.5, since which no traveller has been able to reach the summit of this the highest of the Alpine range of mountains. Dr. Clarke, in a simple and instructive (the lecture was intended more as an instructory one to parties in tending to make the ascent than a scientific detail) manner, led his audience from Geneva to the summit of the Mont Blanc, detailing all the difficulties of the en terprise, which, however, with caution, he considers not by any means so dangerous as has been represented. At 9,000 feet above the level of the Mediterranean the air becomes extremely rarified, and the sky exhibits a blue-black appearance. He does not consider it at all safe for persons to attempt the ascent having a tendency to apoplexy, for at the height of 15,0)0 feet above the level of the sea the extremely rarified state of the air, as well as the almost unbearable oppression of the sun's rays, though surrounded with snow. for that tendency would be increased Loan alarming extent. So oppressive is the sun. that on sitting down in the shade be was asleep instantly. The passage of chink (as the lecturer styled it), jut above the Grande Ptateao (a surface of ice and snow many acres in extent, 10 000 feet above the level of the sea), is a point of great difficulty. This chink is about seven feet wide and 4.1 immeasurable depth. To get over it the-gutdes, at the utmost peril of their lives, first proceed to render the passage more easy; and the lec turer desciibei the feelings of the traveller to be horri ble, when it is known that . the most minute accident wield inevitably precipitate the guide to the dept . ' be low. He cautions travellers to pay implicit attention to guides, as the accident in 1822, when three pee,nba sunk into the caverns of snow, was occasioned by thi. want of caution. It is somewhat appalling, said Dr. Clarke, to be carried over an abyss of unknown depth, slung upon corns and drawn over. On arriving at tile summit of Matt Blanc the toils are amply repaid. Language, said the lecturer, cannot depict the acei e before the travel). r. The eye wanders over immea surable space. The sky appears to recede farther, and the vision appears to possesS double power. • The Al pine scenery here is awfully grand, and the alternate thaw and freezing (tot when the sun is down it freezes rapidly) produces the most grotesque figures. The lecturer described his progress up the mountain by a reference to the model of Mont Blanc, belonging to the Zoological &cute, and thus rendered him perfectly clear in his details. The only living creature found on the summit of *lit Blanc is a small white butterfly (the anoftia). which flits over the snow. The chamois is found 10,000 feet above the level of the sea ; Mont Blanc is 15,500 feet above the Mediterranean.— Specimens were exhibited Of. the compositions of all the mountains round Mout Blanc. Petiodically an im mense quantity of snow falls down from the suo.mit of 'he Blanc, enough, as the guide said, to crush all Eu• rope like flies, were it within its vortex. On throwing stones down the precipices, thousands of feet deep, the traveller feels an almost irresistible desire to throw him self after them. The lecturer, on concluding, was most loudly applauded, and the celebrated Jack Fuller was quite in extacy. . Mr. Farraday announced a lecture, by himself, on glass for next meeting.
