Sir,—l have the gratification to announce the entire concurrence of Government in the measures agreed upon at our late conference with the Excise. I have enclosed the report assigned and submitted to Government by Sir F. Doyle, Bart., and E. B. Portman, Esq., M.P., who presided at the con ference. For your better satisfaction, enclosed are copies of the letter of the Right Honourable the Chancellor of the Exchequer to Mr. Portman, an nouncing the concurrence in the measures proposed, and the letter from Mr. Portman to myself. I am, Sir, your obedient humble servant, W. FORD, Hon. Sec. (Copy.) No. 4, New Burlington-street, July 25. Sir,—l have great pleasure in sending to you Mr. Goulburn's decision on the report which Sir F. Doyle and myself made to him on the subject of the Malt Laws. You will perceive that he is disposed to accede to our wishes upon all the points to which we thought it necessary to advert therein, and al though there are many minor details which are not entered upon in our report, I conceive that they follpw for the . most part as of course from the con. cessions VONA are promised. Sir F. Doyle has noted them all, and as soon as the proposed new bill is before Parliament, I will take care that any omis sions shall be notified to you and to Sir F. Doyle, with .a view to their being supplied. I have no copy of the report that I can send you as verbatim, correct ; but the abandonment of the barley-book, of the certificate system, and of the conclusiveness of evidence before Magistrates, the alterations of the couch clause, with the concession of sprinkling at eight days, were the chief points. The new regulations, which at our meeting were discussed, of course were proposed, as the conces sions which the maltsters ought to make in return for the boon required. Hoping that Mr. Goul burn's letter will be fully satisfactory. I remain, your faithful and obedient, Mr. W. Ford. E. B. PORTMAN. DR. BUTLER'S GEOGRAPHY AND ATLASES.

LANCASTER, JULY 25.--On Thursday morning last the village and neighbourhood of Kellett, about five miles north-east of Lancaster, .was thrown into the greatest consternation, in consequence of a report that a man had been murdered under circumstances of unusual barba rity. The following particulars of this cold blooded transaction will be found correct appears that a person of the name of John Dob son, who was formerly a respectable farmer in that neighbourhood, but who had latterly been much reduced in circumstances, so much so, in deed, as to be under the necessity of procuring parochial relief to support himself, his wife, and six small children, and had some time back been confined in the gaol at Lancaster for debt, at the suit of a person with whom he had had a law suit, which he lost. This unfortunate indi vidual, who was by no means a strong man, and has been in ill health for some time, was on Wednesday last employed as clerk to an auc tioneer, at a sale of hay, a short distance from Kellett, and was on his way home in company with a fellow of the name of Thomas Towers, and a man of the name of Herrod and his wife. When they arrived at the entrance of the village, Herrod and his wife left the two former near a place called Dunald Mill. At this place the dreadful affair took place, and is supposed to have commenced as soon as they were left by the man and his wife. The miller at Dunald Mill (Wilkinson), hearing a noise about two o'clock in the morning of Thursday, got out of bed, and on lookingthrou g h the window observed two men fighting ; and knowing Towers from his voice, and being aware that he was not on very amicable terms with him, was afraid to venture out of doors, lest it should prove a sham fight, in order to get him within their reach, for the purpose of maltreating him, but called to them to desist, which T owers i mmed i ately did, and left his opponent lying on the ground. He, however, shortly after returned, and dragged him by the legs some di s t ance a l ong the road, and down twelve steps, where he was found dead, by a labourer who was going to his work, about five o'clock, mangled in a manner almost too shock ing to relate. An inquest was held, before J. Gardner, Esq., Coroner for this district, when evidence was adduced, which occupied his atten tion the greater part of the day ; but it was adjourned to Tuesday next, and the Coroner issued his warrant for ;he apprehension of Towers. Downing-street, July 23. My dear Sir,—l have received from Sir Francis Doyle a ►memorandum of what passed at the con ference which you and certain gentlemen engaged in the malt-trade had with him on the 7th instant, on the subject of the regulations which apply to that branch of trade; and I have fully considered the alterations in the law which were then agreed upon, subject to my approval, as fit to be submitted to Parliament. I have since had an opportunity of learning the sentiments of other gentlemen who carry on the malt-trade in Essex and Hertfordshire. The result has been, an approval on my part of the proposi tions which have been so submitted to me, and a readiness to give effect to them by legislative provision, at the earliest moment after the meeting of Parliament. It must, however, be understood by the several persons interested, that I reserve to myself a full power of reverting to the law, both with respect to sprinkling and to certificates, or to originate other effective regulations, should my present acquiesc ence in the proposal submitted to me lead to any material increase of hand, or of evasion of duty, or of any general deterioration of the quality of the article. With respect to the immediate suspension of the certificate system, I cannot altogether acquiesce : I consider.it necessary, and I do not see any incon venience likely to flow from it, to take in October next the account of stock, in the manner now point ed out by the law, not indeed from any wish to charge the parties with the duty on any excess to which they may then be found to be liable, but be cause, as there is now no sufficient authority for re ducing the allowances in the cistern and couch, I cannot now, nor until the alteration of the lawii,zro cure for the revenue that protection which has been agreed to be substituted for the certificate system. I therefore think it indispensable to have the stock taken; but I shall have every disposition to forego the payment of the duty on the excesses, so soon as the arrangement now submitted to me shall have been bona fide carried into effect by Parliament. I trust that this course will prove satisfactory to the several parties. I remain, my dear Sir, yours, very truly, E. B. Portman, Esq., M.P. HENRY GOULBURN. REPORT. Proposed alterations in the Malt Laws, being the result of the Conference held at the Excise office, the 7th of July, 1829, between a Deputation of Maltsters, accompanied by E. B. Portman, Esq., M.P. for Dorsetshire, on the one part, and Sir F. H. Doyle, with certain Officers of Excise, subject to the approval of the Chancellor of the Exchequer. That the keeping of the barley-book, and ex pressing the quantity of corn in the notice for wet ting, be abolished ; in lieu thereof a book or paper be kept, in which the maltster shall enter the number of bushels put into steep, within three hours after he shall have finished wetting, with the allowance of five per cent. for variations, as at present. The amount of penalty for breaches of this regulation to be mod tied. That maltsters who wish to sprinkle their corn on the flow before the expiration of twelve days, may, on giving notice of their intention to sprinkle it, at the expiration of eight days ; provided the corn have been kept covered with water in the cistern fifty hours, ar.d there be no other corn on the floor which has not been kept so long covered with water in the cistern. That the certificate system be abolished, and that the allowance of 20 per cent. made for the swell of the corn in the cistern and couch, be reduced to 17i per cent. That when couches are thrown out by the officers for the purpose of ascertaining whether they have been compressed, the allowance of five per cent. be increased after the first 12 hours to 6i per cent. That corn be considered as a couch, until the ex piration of 30 hours after it has been thrown out of the cistern ; but that no charge be made from a gauge taken after the expiration of 26 hours, if a previous gauge of the same corn have been taken by the Mipervisor or officer. That the clause requiring monthly entries to be made, be repealed. That the relaxations allowed by the Treasury, and not hereby altered, be made law. That sec. 43 of the Act which provides for lock ing up corn from- the kiln, be retained, if necessary, for checking of fraud, but not by way of making a charge. The allowance in that case to he 20 per cent. on pale, and 30 per cent. on blown malt. A slight alteration in the wording of sec. 37, by changing " so that the sides or outer edges shall be in straight lines" into "so that they may be con veniently gauged." And in the 7th section, by omitting the words, "At the time of taking such ac count," in the parenthesis last line, page 414 of the printed copy of the Act. It was proposed by the Deputation, that Sir F. H. Doyle should submit to the Chancellor of the Exchequer for his consideration, the immediate sus pension of the certificate system, in cage 49 .511 ° , 4 1 d approve of its ultimate 4balition, (Signed) F.

The following is the despatch addressed by the Austrian Minister to the Austrian Consul at Gibraltar, with the instructions relative to the blockade of the ports of Morocco. It is dated Algesiras, 29th June : " Sir,—The Government of Morocco, in reject ing the moderate proposals we have made to it with the view of re-establishing good intelligence between Austria and Morocco, has compelled the naval di vision of his Imperial Majesty to commence hostili ties. Determined to evince in our military opera tions au energy and - firmness which shall be as great as the moderation we have shown in our negocia tions with the Commissioners of Morocco, we shall maintain our rights with rigosr. Excepting by the blockade of one or more ports of Morocco, the squadron of his. Imperial Majesty will not in any manner impede the legitimate commerce and navi gation of the Powers who are in terms of friendly understanding with Austria. The principle that the flag protects the merchandise shall be respected, with exceptions only regarding such articles as are included in the denomination of warlike stores. The squadron will avail itself of its right of search, and will confiscate all the articles above described found in any vessel bound to Morocco,- whether they • be intended for the use of the army or the navy of Morocco. We might have dispensed with the for mality of making this intimation to the subjects of friendly powers, inasmuch as it relates to a right which is admitted by all Governments. Neverthe less, we are willing to testify our regard for the flags of those Powers; therefore we have to re quest that you will communicate this letter. to his Excellency the Governor of Gibraltar, and to the Consuls resident in that place, so that they may warn the navigators of their respective nations of the risk to which they would expose themselves by all attempts to import into the territory of Morocco any of the articles in question. We have the honour to be, Sir, yours, B.;c. (Signed) " BANDIERA. " P. FLUGL." ST. PETERSBURGH, MAY, 1829. THE WINTER PALACE. The next object of attraction is the Winter Palace, a stupendous pile of building, heavy in its architecture; it is true, but at the same time magnificent in all its details. I must refer you to Dr. Granville for a minute description of this mass of masonry, and will merely say that the form is square with projecting angles, and that it Meioses a considerable court yard for the exercise of troops. The late Emperor usually resided in the Winter Palace, which is in 'a most central situation, and is in every way calculated for a royal residence ; so vast is the building that 800 fires are lighted every morning, when the palace is occupied as the winter residence of the Im perial family. I had not an opportunity of in specting the interior, but I understand that the apartments of the late Empress's mother are magnificent in the extreme. The front overlooks the Neva, at the broadest part, where that river branches into two forks, and forms the island of Wassiliostrof. Immediately opposite is the ‘fortress," a small island on the northern side of the river, exceedingly well fortified. In this island are the Mint and the Church of St. Peter and Paul, remarkable for its slender and richly gilt spire, and as being the burial-place of the Imperial family ; so that the occupiers of the Winter Palace have abundant opportunities of reflecting on the uncertainty of human life, aw fully uncertain indeed, as it regards the prema ture death of several preceding Emperors ; with the mausoleum of their ancestors in sight, well may they reflect that _ _ Pallida niers zequo pede pulsat faupeann tbernas Regurnque turres. The present Emperor prefers as a winter resi dence the Aritchkin Palace in the Nevski, where he lived when Grand Duke, and where he has probably spent the happiest days of his life. He is now 32 years of age, and has been married eleven years; the Empress is a year younger. As possibly more human happiness or misery de pend on the personal character of the Emperor of Russia than on that of any other individual in the world (at all events in Europe), it is gra tifying to know that as a man or a sovereign he is every thing that Russia or even Europe can desire. Every absolute monarch is more or less the slave of a system, and Nicholas no doubt has his peculiar difficulties to contend with, but I really believe his views arc moderate and con ciliatory, his disposition generous and humane ; some accuse him of avarice, probably because he has no inclination to squander the public money ; others say he wants the mildness of Alexander, because he is so strict in the correc tion of known abuses, but all agree he is inde fatigable in business ; so in fact has he need to be, as no less than 30,000 petitions were ad dressed to him through our office alone, many of which would pass under his immediate inspec tion. He rises early, has frequent interviews with General Diebitsch or Count Nesselrode, is re markably punctual in all his engagements, and requires his attendants to be so too. Upon his accession to the throne he set about a reforma tion of the numerous abuses that had crept into public offices ; his severity was particularly di rected against those in authority who had been influenced by bribes ; in this respect he has had an Augean stable to cleanse, At one he attends parade, and afterwaids he is 'frequently seen driving a sledge with one attendant. The Em press takes her airings in a carriage and four; , the servants wear a rich cossack costume, but there is no military escort. As a father and a husband the Emperor is a pattern to all his sub jects. I once had an opportunity (which few foreigners, by the bye, have enjoyed) of witness ing the domestic relaxation of the Imperial c f m a a m ena i n l: s b ; ie I p:x a ol in zt t,lo a c t ears liberty too sQolee t v o e . pray s l t ac a ci t ei b.ysmir,isi circumstance i N a v li l le i cs a es t ed of which I was a spectator; thus much I will say, that 1 never witnessed a scene of more do mestic harmony.

Nicholas is determined to be a close imitator of the Spartan King, and was sur rounded by his own children, his nephews, and their companions, making altogether a strong juvenile muster, and when he entered the room appropriated to the pastimes of the young people, he was not only received with the loudest acclamations of joy, bur was most unceremoniously dragged to the scene of their sports, in which he participated with the utmost good humour. The Hereditary Grand Duke is a remarkably fine boy, ten years of age ; he was equipped in a half military costume ; a lad of his own size and age was likewise dressed in the same way ; the younger children I remark ed were not in mourning, nor were the Eng lish nursery maids, who were in attendance. Our visitor dropped in during the evening at a time when the Emperor and Empress were play ing at billiards, the former received his visitor " ala mililaire," stood, erect and shouldered the cue ; after remaining in this attitude for a few moments, he shook hands and renewed the game ; the visitor wore two stars, and was quite a courtier, for he observed the progress of the game, and on one occasion 1 observed he moved the Empress' ball, that she might make it more easily. The Emperor, I perceived, addressed the boys in Russian or French, but German and English are also taught ; the Empress speaks the latter fluently. Close to the palace is the rnanege or riding-school, where the Emperor inspects the troops in winter. I took an early opportunity of visiting the• parade, which the Emperor attends every morning when in town. A brilliant assemblage of superior officers were waiting te k receive him; he drew up in a plain carriage, accompanied by Prince Kutusoff; the troops consisted of a small detachment of the Foot Guards and some dismounted Cossacks. Amongst the many noble figures in the train of his Imperial Majesty, I did not observe two taller, better formed, or handsomer men than Nicholas and his brother the Grand Duke Michael. The Emperor appeared quite acces sible and familiar with all around him ; at the palace-gate I observed a poor negro, evidently waiting to have a personal interview with the " Autocrat of all the Russias;" every thing was conducted in the most unostentatious manner, and there were no acclamations whatever, there were but few spectators, and those were of the lowest orders. I had the misfortune to lose my watch, though surrounded by the police ; the thievish character of the Russians is well known, and their ingenuity must be appreciated by every stranger who visits the capital. In front of the palace is a considerable space for the exercise of troops, bounded oti one side by a magnificent circus, entirely occupied by officers connected with the staff, engineer, and other military de partments; this range of building is much ad- mired, and is in the style of the superior resi dences in the Regent's Park ; the decorations are however richer, pilasters of the Corinthian order extend the whole length of the building, and the balustrades between the windows are gilt ; but the grand archway communicating with the Nevski forms the principal beauty of the circus. This opening is covered with military trophies executed in cast iron, and the top is sur mounted by a car of Victory, drawn by four colossal horses of cast iron bronzed ; th© figure in the car stands with expanded wings, and holds a staff, at the extremity of which is the Russian eagle ; this imperial bird was no doubt indispensable in a national point of view, but at a distance it has a very ridiculous appearance, as with its extended wings it too closely resembles the figure by Mach it is sup ported. The Government is now engaged in the publication of some maps on a very extended scale ; and, strange to say, a single copy may actually be purchased at this office. Under the pretence of looking at the recent publications, we were admitted without any difficulty ; senti nels were stationed in the different lobbies, and the arrangements of the interior entirely corres ponded with the magnificence of the exterior of the building. In the rooms we pa§sed were several superior officers of the staff in full uni form. I was much struck by the superior stvle in which the maps were finished, and by the general excellence of the instruments connected with the Engineers' department. To the east ward of the Winter Palace is the " Million," a spacious street, so called, I understand, from the great wealth of the inhabitants who formerly resided at this court end of the town. The view from the western extremity of the " lion" is probably unrivalled in Europe for its magnificence ; on the left is a range of palaces and public buildings as far as the eye can reach ; close to the right of the spectator rises the stu pendous pile of the Winter Palace ; and beyond the long line of building, whi c h f orms the Ad, miralty, in front, are the o ffi ces connecte d the staff On the west the vi ew is ';Jounded g by the statue of Peter the Great, ar.t . i the c h urc h , p h ot of St. Isaac's, now building; ti:, e w h ole Fermin , as it were, the very core of the capital the s where the principal s.pl en d ours o f S t.

The town of Tunbridge and its vicinity have been thrown into the greatest alarm, in conse quence of a cruel murder having been com mitted upon an elderly female, who resides in Tunbridge. The poor woman who has lost her life is about .54 years of age, and resided in a small cottage near the turnpike, and immediately opposite the Angel public-house. She let a portion of her cottage to two navigator who were employed with other men in deepening and widening the Medway, which has for some time been loudly complained of. These two men re turned home on Saturday night. One of thrnh being in an ill state of health took some medi cine, and weut to bed at an early hrJur, and the time other retired t o , res t a short afterwards. About four o'clock the fol'Aewing morning, the sick man heard his fel i .bw workman get up and go down stairs, where he was engaged for some time. This circumstance, however, did not make any impression upon him, and he did not which suppose that the man was engaged in committing murde' 4 , , In the morning, when some of 'one room, quite t n h e e ig y h f b ou ot n ir d s o e p n e t n er , e t d he t y he di l s lu v s e e r , e t d he th d e oer of unfortunate ° L .le had been suffoca ruffian who had ( S i V e n a ril d :tn t lyi s n u g rge o o n n the floor of was inur :ediately sent for, and tet by thehe d h i a sc n o d ve o re f d t.t t e h that grasped her throat. The monster who had committed the murder, remained ia the town until the:body was dis covered, when he made a hasty retreat, but was taken soon afterwards at East Grinstead.' , What inducement the man had for committing the murder, or whether he possessed himself of any of the poor woman's property, we have not yet heard, • • • "P LONDON LITERARY AND SCIENTIFIC INS TITUTION, 163, ALDERSGATE-STREET. ri., SECOND of a COURSE of LEC ' TURES on MUSIC, Will By Mr. THOMAS ADAMS, t,efocuka, By on WEDNESDAY Evening next, at Eight tA C LASS for CONVERSATION i n t h e FRENCH wooti?.l3AGE meet every Thursday Evening at Nine 0,1h,e a dvantages of this Institution consist of Lectures plied wit and Scientific Subjects; Reading Rooms sup of the Daily Papers, Periodicals, and New Works R i f;,"' r "t; an extensive Library of Valuable Works for Ni od - 'ence and Circulation ; Classes for Instruction in the •r, l L anguages, &C. &c. &c.
