A Meeting was yesterday held at the York Hotel, Bridge-street, Blackfriars, to consider of the expediency of " Peti tioning Ministers for the total repeal, or at least a material reduc tion of the Duty en Malt." The Meeting was very respectably, but not numerously at tended. Mr. CURTIN, son of the Member for Sussex, took the Chair, on the proposition of Mr. Ellis, which was unanimously agreed to by the company assembled. Mr. Efts then rose to move the Resolutions which had been prepared for the purpose of being laid before the Meeting. The great object, he observed, was to enable the labourer to supply himself at a cheap rate with the wholesome and substantial be vet age of beer—which, owing to the heavy duty on malt, the poor could not at present procure. The consequence bf the Malt Tax was, that although the population of t►e country bad been doubled in the course of a century, there was scarcely as much beer consumed now as was consumed a century ago. He was convinced that the abo lition of Malt Tax would be attended with the greatest benefit, not only to the agricultural interests, but also to the manufacturing and commercial interests ; and that, above all, it would be attend. ed with the greatest advantage to the poor and the labouring class of the community. He then gave a strong picture of the injury done to the health. and even morals of the labourer, from the im possibility of his enjoying the wholesome beverage to which the English labourer had been in past times accustomed, and which, considering how remarkably well the soil and climate of England were adapted to the production of barley, might be considered the natural beverage of the country. He was also convinced that this very obnoxious tax might be abolished without much injury to the revenue, and without the necessity of having recourse to a property tax, which, in time of peace, he thought highly objectionable. If a deputation were to wait on the Chancellor of the Exchequer, to propose and urge the repeal of this tax, he perhaps would admit that the tax was objectionable, but would contend that it was necessary that those who insisted on its repeal should show either that there was a surplus revenue, or that a substitute might be found. He did not mean, at that time, to enter at length into the discussion of that subject; but he believed that he was prepared with a good answer to the objection. To be sure, the beer was taxed as well as the malt ; and some might, perhaps, suppose that it would be of more advantage to the pourer classes to have the beer duty repealed than to have the malt duty abolished. But it bad always been a point with him not to petition the Go vernment for what he himself thought was unreasonable, and he was convinced that Ministers could not afford to abolish the duties both on malt and beer; but of the two he thought it was better to apply for the abolition of the duty on malt, because that would afford relief to all classes of the community. Mr. Ellis concluded by moving the first Resolution, which was seconded by Mr. Bent ley. The object of that, and of the other Resolutions, was to shew that in the opinion of the Sleeting the abolition of the malt duty was expedient, and specially called for by the actual situation of the labouring classes of the community. Mr. FOSSIL expressed his concurrence in the object of the Meet ing ; and said that he was old enough to remember when the la bourer brewed his own beer, and he was convinced that he would still do so were it not for this very obnoxious tax. Its abolition would be attended with the most beneficial consequences to the la bouring classes of the comniuuity, whether agricultural, manufac turing, or commercial. Mr. Qusarra observed, that the labouring classes were in the. most serious distress at this moment, and that it was the duty of the Govermeut to relieve them if possible. The distress had arisen to a pitch that could hardly be endured ; and the best modes of relief would be to abolish the tax on malt, or the tax on beer, or to abolish both. The worthy Gentleman then stated his objections to the system of free trade, as it was called. It was said tobe founded on the principle of reciprocity ; but there was no reciprocity at all in the nutter, considering that this nation was loaded with a debt of IWO millious sterling. Under such a state of things the system was absurd, and made us be regarded by other nations as simpletons in legislation. As for a substitute for the Malt Tax, they were not bound to find out one. It was for the Government to find out a substitute, or reduce its expencm. The Honourable Gentleman then proceeded to make sonic remarks on the last Corn Bill, but was called to order, the matter being consi dered as irrelevant co the purposes of the Meeting. Mr. Flex also argued strongly in favour of the abolition of the tax, and the importance of the repeal to the health and comforts of the labouring classes. Had it not been for this tax, the landlords and farmers would apply much of their barley to the production of a must Invigorating and healthy beve rage for their labourers, which, as matters stood, they now threw to their hogs. It was the want of this healthy and old English beverage which exhausted the labourer, and tendered hint reckless—which often drove him to poaching, and then to robbery. The taxes on malt and beer led to the demo ralisation of the country, and ought to be got rid of as soon as pos sible ; and instead of confining themselves to one of them, he con ceived that it would be better to attack them both together. These duties were, with respect to the labouring classes, acts of oppaes &ion, and of such an oppression as the Despot of Constantinople would not have ventured upon. It could only have been caused in such a country as this, where there was a partial freedom. Cer tainly if the nation had been fully and properly represented in Par liament, nu such oppressive enactments would have been tolerated. Mr. HIALT stated that he supplied his labourers, of whom he had a great many, with beer of the same quality as he used at bis own table—(hear, h:ar !) ; but he would be able to supply them in much more abundance it these obnoxious taxes were repeated, and he was certain that the effect would be that the labourers would do much more work with comfort to themselves. If horses were sent to the plough from the straw-yard, it would be in vain to ex pect that they would do as much work as if they had been fed on oats and beans ; and so it would be vain to expect the same quan tity of work from the labourer, in his present state, as might fairly be expected from him if he were well supplied with this invigorating and healthy beverage. Our Government was the best possible Government, but it was necessary to watch it closely with reference to its expenditute. An honest farmer, a neighbour of his, was accustomed to say, that the Clergyman of his palish was a very good Clergyman, and that he gave very good sermons; but that the sermons were plaguy dear, for that one week with another they cost 191. a piece. So he said of the Government. It was a very good Government, but it was a plaguy dear one; and it was the duty of every real friend to bis country to watch over the public expenditure, and to procure the abolition or reduction of such ob. noxious and oppressive taxes as those on malt and beer, if possible. Mr. FOADMASI argued, that it was of more importance to the pour to have the tax on beer repealed than to procure the abolition of that on malt; and he moved an Amendment, "that the word beer he substituted for that of matt." lie afterwards withdrew that Amendment. and proposed that the words " and beer," should be added to the word naafi, so as to state it to be the opi nion of the Meeting that both taxes should be repealed. Mr. Eaus objected to both the amendments, and requested the Meeting to confine themselves to the specific point which they had been oiled upon to consider, which was merely the expediency of petitioning for the abolition of the duty on malt. It had always been his jaiaciple to wish only for what was reasonable. It would be highly desirable, no doubt, to have the duty on beer abolished as well as that on malt; but he did not believe that the Govern ment could afford to dispense with both, and therefore he thought it best to confine the Resolution to the repeal of that duty which he thought, on the whole, to be most obnoxious. After some further discussion, however, the Amendment was agreed to by a majority of the Meeting. The Rev. Doctor Lasts then suggested another Amendment. the effect of which was to petition for the total abolition of the duties on malt and beer; or, for a material reduction of those duties. There was no doubt but that if the total abolition could not be pro.ured, a material reduction would be attended with the most beneficial consequences.—This Amendment was al , o adopted, and the several Resolutions were agreed to. Pursuant to one of the Resolutions, a Committee was appointed to carry into effect the objects of the Meeting, and the names of the Chairman, Mr. Ellis, Mr. Bentley, Mr. Healy, Mr. Foster, arc. were mentioned, with power to add to their number. The Rev. Doctor Lasts then n.•ved the thanks of the Meeting to the Chairman, and stated that it was highly satisfactory to see persons of property coming forward to promote objects of such great public importance as the present ; and when they did come forward, it was proper that their services should be acknowledged. The motion was unanimou.ly agreed to. The (*MADMAN, alter returning thanks. observed, that if the Meeting could accomplish its 'bite!, it would be attended with im mense bebefit to the poorer classes of the community. He hoped that the sentiments uttered at this Meeting would find their way to the ears not only of Ms Majesty's Ministers, but to those of the Highest Personage in the community. The following are the Resolutions adopted by the Meeting : " 1. That the present distressed state of the labouring poor im- PiriPtisly calls for the serious consideration of all those who have the power to afford them relief. "2. That a supply of wholesale beer is essenti fly necessary to the health and strength of the poor generally, but more particularly to the hard-working labourer, to whom it may justly be called liquid food. S. That the excessive tax on Malt and Beer in a very great degree prevents labourers, as well in husbandry as in trades and manufactories, from obtaining this nutriment, so necessary f o r the support of their health and strength, and compels them to drink water, which, without supporting their ability for labour, has, in many instances, been followed by consequences destructive of health. " 4. That owing to the greatly increased and excessively high drty on Malt, the annual average individual consumption of that article, which was for ten years, ending in 1723, forty...me vibes and three quarts, has been so much decreased, that for the last ten years, ending in 182 w, it has not exceeded sixteen gallons and three pints; and for the last year, only fourteen gallons and two quarts, or about two-fifths of the consumption of 1723. " S. That if the annual individual consumption of the present population was equal to what it was in 1723, it would exceed 8,000,000 quarts, being more than double its present amount. " 6. That the above-mentioned considerations induce this Meet ing to recommend either a total repeal or a material reduction of all duties on malt and beer. " 7. That a Committee be appointed to promote the object of these Resolutions, who shall be empowered to adopt such mea sures as shall appear to them expedient, with power to add to their numbers." INTERESTING FOREIGN NOTICES. The King of Pros6ia, who in 1813 wrote a very flat tering letter, accompanied with a gold medal, to M. Julien, at Paris , the author f " The Spirit of Pestsluzzi's Method of Education," has recently addressed to the same gentleman another letter, accom panied with a second gold medal, in return for s copy of the fourth edition of his " Essay on the Employment of Time."

PUBLIC LIBRAILIES or Euaori.—We are unable to state the exact number of these useful establishments, though, on a superficial enumeration, they cannot amount to fewer than between seven and eight hundred ; the contents of which have been estimated by Malthus at 19,847,100 volumes.

Tut Flagmen Cocaoy.—The Council General of the Depart ment of the Eure et Loire did nothing to show any disposition in favour of the new Ministry, but it voted 5,000 francs (2001. ster ling) as an addition to the State allowance to the Bishop of Char tres, 11. Clausel de Montals, apparently to compensate him for his resistance to the laws. With this aid it is thought the Prelate will re-open the little school he has established in his country house at St. Etienne. The Cardinal de Clermont Tonnerre, in passing through Chartres, stopped at the Bishop's Palace, and the Cardinal de Latil, tormerly Bishop of Chartres, has also been in the vicinity, at the seat of M. Ferrieres. These two Cardinals both had conferences with the Bishop, who reposes under his laurels, and does not boast of his resistance; he submitted at the moment he was about to triumph ; and had just signed the official act by which he yielded submission to the ordi nances • the Ministry was changed ; but no publication has been made Of his submission. and he remains in appearance the only one of the Bishops of France who set the last Cabinet at defiance. The friends of the Council-General say, that it would nut have voted the addition to his allowance, only that it knew of the sub mission made by the Bishop ; but we doubt it when we see them also voting 64,000 francs (,6001. sterling) as an addition to the allowances of the teconslary Clergy, and 5,000 francs (001. sterling) to the great Seminary. Chartres possesses a fine library, rich in ancient volumes ; but as it has no funds to purchase books, it has none of the continua tions of the works it contains, and It has been deprived of all the writings which for half a century recorded the progress of the sciences. If half the addition given to the Bishops were applied to this library, it would be one of the most valuable in France. Char tres now possesses no scientific Institution ; this city has not, as formerly she had, distinguished Professors to honour it, and the College is fallen into such discredit, that the young people are obliged to go for their studies to Versailles, Orleans, or Paris. RUSSIA. (From the Literary Gazette.) Although we have given some details of the statistics of this mighty empire on former occasions, we owe it to our readers not to withhold further elucidations of so engrossing a subject, at a period when it must be peculiarly desirable to them to possess data of a correct and authentic character. And such, we can assurz them. is the nature of the information which we now proceed to lay before them. The empire of Russia takes precedence of every other nation in Europe, as regards its extent and population. The numbers of the motley race by which it is tenanted amounted at the close of 1828, to 62,592,000 souls, of whom the following is a classifisation by distinct nations :- 1. Slavonlans • • - It.

Relatively to the other states of Europe, it is extremely thin of inhabitants, and stands inferior even to Norway and Sweden in density of population.

This is the amount of the regular establishment; but, in time of war, like the present. it is greatly augmented by levies under the imperui ukase Tile Polish army consists of 50,000. The Russian navy, at the beginning of 1823, compri'ed 50 ship: of the line, 33 frigates, and about 100 other large vessels, beside. floating-batteries, gumboats, gales, &c.—the w bole manned by somewhat more than 50,000 sailors. This establishmmt has ot' late been considerably increased. The whole empire does not present above 1,840 cities and towns, 1.210 strong places, and 227,400 villages and hamlets.

" The Gateau (State of Illinois) Advertiser gives the following outlines of a treaty lately concluded with the Indians, by which the rich tract of country between lake Michigan and the Nlitsitiipi, containing about 6,000,000 acres, is ceded to the United Stateb. " Immix Tar.a7r.—We learn by a gentleman who arrived here from Prairie du Chien, since the publication of our last paper, that the treaty with the Winnebagoes, Potawatamies, and Uttawas, is concluded. The following is the boundary of the land ceded by the Winnebagoes to the United States :—From the mouth of the Rock River up the said river to the mouth of the Pe-ka-ton-o-kee, thence up the Pe-ka-ton-o-kee, to the mouth of Sugar River ; thence up this stream to the mouth of its extreme eastern branch; thence up said branch to the place where it is intersected by the trace leading from the Blue Nlound, the Portage of theOuisconsin, ant Fox River ; thence with the said trace, passing through one of the Four , Lakes to Duck Creek ; thence up Duck Creek to its source ; thence on a straight line to the lower extremity of Lake Puckway or Rush Lake ; thence up said lake, and up Fox River to the Por- tage above mentioned; thence across the Portage, down the Obs consin, and down the Mississippi to the mouth of Rock River. " All the land included within the above bounds is ceded to the United States, except certain reserves; to wit, one section, or 640 acres to each half breed of the Winnebago tribe, are named in the treaty to be located hereafter by the United States on any land within the ceded tract not supposed to contain lead ore, if the United States, on their part, give to the Winnebagoes 20,000 dollars promi sed at the Council of Green Bay last year, in full for rents and depredations committed on their domaitis up to the present time ; 20,000 dollars as presents ; and an annuity of 18,000 dollars for 30 years, out of which the Win nebagoes are to pay 10,000 dollars in part for expenses incurred by the United States in the late Winnebago disturbance; for all thefts and depredations heretofore committed; to Mad. Gagnier, whose husband was murdered in Prairie du Chien in the summer of 1827, an annuity of -- dollars fur 30 years, and to her child, who was scalped, one section of land reserved from the ceded tract, to be designated by the Government of the United States. " We understand that Mr. Hunt's claim against the Winneba goes amounts to 10,000 dollars ; Mr. Brisbols• to 7,000 dollars ; Messrs. Luckwood's to 800 dollars; Messrs. Rolettea and others. unknown. " The Potowatarnies and Ottywas have sold all the ground to which they have any claim on both sides of the Rock River, in• eluding all the land from Rock River to Lake Michigan. " The Winbebagues still retain a small tract of country between the Four Lakes, the upper waters of Rock River, Winnebago Lake and Michigan.
