We an again without any arrivals of the least consequence, hor have we any reports this morning; in consequence of which, every thing is very dun in the City, and the tonsol market, up to the present time, is entirely void of the least interest.

The whole Turkish and Egyptian fleet is now in the Cull of Navarin, and is most vigilantly watched by the English. It is even affirmed that a Turkish corvette, which disregarding the blockade, attempted to leave the Gulf was compelled to put back with con siderable damage in masts and rigging. Navarin, therefore, is probably the place where the great question will be decided, and where we shill either have peace (or in the Turkish fashion an armistice) or an unparal leled defeat of the whole Turkish Navy. There does not appear to be any other alternative, unless we would .doubt the honour of the greatest nations in Europe. TRIESTR, OCT. 3.

Dutch Papers to the 17th inst. came to hand last night. They contain the Speech of his Majesty the King of the NITHERLANDS delivered on opening the Session'of the States General, which we have insetted in our First Page. The Vauxhall licence was )estetday renewed, but not without considerable opposition from the zealous • and unto Bade. It is very clear th,.t the majority of the people indulge more in vice than in goodness; con seqnently they will ever seek amusements and occupa tioos congenial with their vicious dispositions: and those amusements we all know are plentiful and of easy access enough in this Metropoli'. Now, it being glanced that the bulk of the populace will seek their pastimes in the haunts of vice, we put it to moral, nay, religious men, whether of no it be not morally expedient so to blend pleasures, which may attract the bad, with such • observances of decorum, as may lure them away from other places where they will find the evil without the counteracting, or at least, the molifying good? Such a place of recreation we deem VAUXHALL. Unlike the public Theatres, there is a constant mixture of the re spectable and high classes of society amongst their in feriors in rank and morals; an intermixture, we con ceive, highly beneficial in all cases of public resort, to the interests of order and propriety. Exposed, or at least always subjected, to the eye of their superiors, a restraint is felt, and a restraint exists, over the in dulgence of evil passions among the lower orders. Again, there is another salutary effect in this inter mingling attendance of genteel persons—namely, the natural attraction they offer to the infinite moltitude, who ever ape the mamiers of their betters. While, then, persons of character and rank attend Vauxhall, Vauxhall • • way jusa) sat.k 411 0 .g the import ) , 11.4 th, public morals; in support of which let u, see rtraton: We s think few will refuse to these Gatdens in tilt light of a 'sort of medium places of downrigAt •icicous charaerer,aod any exist) of spotless pdrity. This granted, and it being also eossceded that more are prone to sin than to piety, even then,.in proportionate ratio, it appears that more will be enticed up from baser pleasures, than will be ensnared down from recreations of superior virtue. The neighbouring people complain of the disturbance; then why, at the Chronicle justly asks, dill they go and place themselves there? If they went into the vicinity of public gardens, in the expectation of perfect nocturnal tranquillity, their folly is rightly punished by the event. We cannot altogether coincide, however, with a morn• ing cotemporary, who, with one fell swoop, condemns all interference whatever with public amusements on the part of Magistrates : we look on them as custodes mom*, and so does the Chronicle. Now, how guardians 9f the public morals ate to be justified in suffering any amusement which is on the whole injurious to that morality, we are at a loss to conceive. Vauxhall, we admit, is on the other hand, in a general view, beneficial to its interests; but sre rather think we could point net Others of a real noxious tendency towards the welfairel of morality, and which would furnish ground of very justifiable interposition for uthets, besides the Surrey Magistrat.s.. • • Cap. net packet.

THE MALT TRADE. -.UP- - THE DEPUTATION OF 111 A LTSTERS AND LORD GOOKIIICH. Tuesday, Lord GODERICH, in company with Mr. FRARKLARD LEWIS, tie :Secretary, and Mr. CARR, the Solicitor to the Excise, recei►ed a Deputation from the Maltsters, Brewers, and others, as:enibled in the Metro. polis from different parts of England, to consider what was to be done in consequence of the check gi►en to their trade, the los: of property, and the injury done to commerce by the operati m of the new Act for fixing the excise on malt. Tt•e Derutatii n consisted rf Mr. C. Brown, of Norwich ; Mr. E. H. Buchanan, of Stowtnar ket, Suffolk ; Mr. E. Chuck, of Ware ; Mr. G. Craven, of Wake field ; Mr. P. Dowson, of Great Yarmouth ; Mr. W. Ford, of Nine Elmo, Surrey; Mr. W. Hawkes, Norwich; Mr. Hartpath, of Bristol; Mr. T. Salmon, of Stoke ' Norfolk; Mr. P. Steed, of Great Yarmouth; and Mr. Barclay, the brewer. The first point to which Mr. Hawn, their Foreman, called his Lordship's attention, was their allegation that one third deduction of malt in ninety-six hours from the cistern, was not sufficient. Ile adduced many instances where it exceeded the dried barley, or couch guage, ten, fifteen, or twenty percent. Mr. Cana, in reply, said, that although there was that increase , charged in the duty, there was no proof that when the malt was acted off, and screened, it did not amount to the estimated guage. Mr. Foan, of Nine Elms, immediately produced an account of his having wetted 40 quarters 4 bushels of barley, the charge by the guage, within ninety-six hours; deducting only one child, it anieunted to 47 quarters. B. ing dried, screened, and measured by the imperial bushel, it amounted only to 41 quarters, 5 bushels. Au additional duty, therefore, was chat ged, amounting to Sf. 11,. Id. or 2s. ed. per quarter more than could equitably be taken. Mr. Baows, in the course of some arguments in support of this statement, declared, that in consequence of the uncertainty which would be produced by the mode of taking the duty adopted in the Act, it was Impossible to make any contracts except as gambling speculations. According to the variation of the atmosphere, during the process of malting, would be the increase of bulk in the malt, and consequently the amount of duty paid upon it, since it was re solved to have the duty upon the malt and not on the barley. Mr. Foau, to stew the variable nature of the tax when levied upon this principle, mentioned that the malt made in the cold months of December, January, and February, would pay is. 6d. per quarter less duty than the malt manufactured dining the usual periods of October and April. In answer further to the allegations made by Mr. Carr, that there was no proof of the ultimate measure of the malt when the process was completed, not being less than the measure taken at that part of the process when the duty was charged, Mr. &town, Mr. BUCH•DAX, Mr. CHUCK, Mr. BALMOM,aIId Mr. Seam, who said their united manufacture was upwards of one hun dred thousand quieter' per annum, all declared that upon theses rage of the last six years they had not delivered so much in measure as malt as they had steeped as barley. Mr. Ila , of Bristol, pressed upon the comideration of his Lordship the injury acme by the Act to the Bristol Maltsters, who were. In the habit of sprinkling their malt alter the 12th day, by which they gut au increase of from 9 to 10 per cent. in measure. lie contended that these maltsters ought nut to be charged for the additional quantity to which it was increased by strong vegetation, more than the makers of brown malt, who obtained a similar in crease in measure by fire, or drying in the kiln, and were allowed a reduction of Is per cent. Not to make the same reduction in favour of the Bristol Malt was to suppress it. Mr. CAR. said they ought to pay for every bushel of malt made, and persisted in the principle that the duty ought to be charged on the malt, and not en the barley. Mr. Folio wished to have it explained, since the principle stated by the Solicitor for the Excise was to pervade the Act, why that malt which was increased in bulk by fire should be allowed a deduc tion of eighteen per cent. whilst that which was increased in bulk by sprinkling, was to be charged a duty upon such increase, parti cularly as both were deteriorated in value by their increase in bulk ? Alf. BARCLAY (the brewer) said it was decidedly an erroneous principle to charge the duty upon the malt instead of the barley.-- The mak that he was in the habit of using always fell short of the quantity of barley steeped. Ile observed also, that the West Country, or sprinkled malt, though increased in bulk by the process tiled there, was not increased in value by it, in proportion to the increased hulk. It was, therefore, unfair to charge a duty upon such increase. When they were in the habit of giving in London per quarter for. the fine Ware malt, they could purchase the West Country malt at SS,. which was about its relative value. Mr. &town then pointed out various extreme ill consequences which, he said, resulted from the clause relative to the draining of the water in the cistern, and from that compelling them to keep the corn an extra four hours in the couch. These injurious effects co the trade and the commodity Were unattended by one iota of additional advantage or protection to the revenue. Mr. CARS expressed himself, from the want of technical know. lege, unequal to the discussion of these clause.; but he supposed they had been suggested by experienced officers, Lord Gasolinic', expressed his surprise that these matters had not been canvassed, and the facts stated by the Gentlemen of the De putation.brought forward during the progress of the Bill. Mr. FORD said, they never knew of them. He resided in the Meteopols, aid was not Implicit aware of the existence of moth a Hill, until after it had been read a second time in July. Mr. Disown said, that before the third reading of the Bill, he was one of the Deputation who waited on Mr. Denies. They were then promised, as lie understood, various alterations. He under , stood Mr. Carr distinctly to promise that the old iniplenients should be protected by a clause. When the Bill cattle out, they found fore of the alterations in it. Lord GGDIRICII, after some further observations had been made, admitted, that a fair statement had been made of the difficulties arising from the MI; and he promiied that he would take it into his immediate consideration, and give as early an answer as pos sible, being well aware of the confused state in which the different interests were at present placed., 'The Deputation then thanked his Lordship for the polite atten tion be had given them, and withdrew. Mr. Cifl7ClC. the Deputy from Ware, announced before the De putalon separated, that he had just received information, that a wetting of barley there, guaged within ninety-sk hours from the cistern, made an increase of duty of nearly 20 per cent. Fufty•three inklt.houses at Ware had discontinued steeping, and business Was at a stop. Mr. 13enwx said, he had heaps of letters from all parts of the country, giving an account of the devastation to the trade, and their property, which the Aet made. ' One Gentleman mentioned, that since the passlng of the Act, h should be glad to sell his premises for 5,000‘. less than ue the before it became a law. It was stated also, skit the loss incurrred by the Revenue dull, 'the short time the Act had bean in op,ratiust, must b: at e so,000t• and that the trade had suffered propettionAy. 11IL 11111 A 11:1'.S.
