the precees of fermentation had commenced, add a quantity of either of these materials to his wash, and thus greatly increase the quantity of s pi r its which it would produce, rendering the check arising from the calculation of the density of the wash completely nugatory. The facility with which this species of fraud might be committed is pointed ott in the Re ports of the Sugar Distillery Committees which sat in 1807 and 1808. They were apprehen sive that even under the law which then pre vailed in England frauds would he committed, and though, on account of the scarcity and I ery high price of grain at that period, the use of sugar was for a short time permitted in the dis tilleries of Great Britain, and distillation from corn totally prohibited, it was found impossible to extend the same permission to Ireland, and the intercouse in spirits between Great Britain and Ireland was therefore during that period en tirely suspended. As very great importance was attached to the check arising from the calculation of the original density and attenuation of the wash by all the revenue officers who were examined, a consider able part of the examination of these gentlemen was occupied in the inquiry whether some addi tional checks might not be devised to obviate this objection. It was suggested by Dr. Ure, that if, in addition to ascertaining the gravity of the wash by means of the saccharometer, a very small quantity of it, viz. about one-tenth of a gallon, was distilled after each trial of its gravity, and the quantity of' spirit which it yielded ac cerately measured, it would be impossible for a distiller fraudulently to add saccharine matter to his wash without detection. There is no doubt that, if such a series of experiments were made by an expert chemist, with great care, it might afford a very complete check. But your Com mittee apprehend, that in the hands of ordinary excise officers the results of such delicate expe riments could never safely be relied upon. It is true that Mr. Steel, an excise officer of great experience and skill, stated to the Committee that he had tried an experiment with so small a quantity as 1,000 grains of wash, about one ninth of a pint, and that the quantity of spirit which on distillation he obtained from it corres ponded nearly with results attained by Dr. Ure in some experiments made by him by distilling ten gallons of the same wash. As it appears that in these experiments made by Dr. Ure he did not obtain the same quantity of spirits which were obtained by Dr. Atlee from the same wash from which that made use of by Dr. Ure was taken, no very satisfactory inference can be drawn from these experiments of Dr. Ure and Mr. Steel. It would appear that the observation made by Dr. Ure respecting the produce of malt is equally applicable to the distillation of wash ie small quantities. He observes that it would be preposterous to attempt to make a good experi ment with a small quantity, such as a bushel of malt, which has often been done by chemists ; for it has been ascertained by experiments on a greater scale that the product in the small way falls short of the product of the great brewers by eight per cent. Accordingly we find that Mr. Hetherington, who had made some experi ments at the St. Catherine's Distillery with the same quantity of molasses wash which Mr. Steel had employed, states the produce of proof spirit from one cwt. of molasses at 7.14 gallons, whereas Mr. Smith, an eminent distiller, has stated that in 1808 he could produce from one cwt. of molasses 7.34 gallons of proof spirits ; but as it appears that since that period great itn• provements have been made in the process of distillation, there can be little doubt that eight gallons could now be produced ; and this also is the result of the experiments of Dr. Thomson. Mr. Cornwall, who was 'formerly one of the Commissioners of the Excise in Scotland, stated that he thought twenty gallons was the smallest quantity from which any just inference could be drawn, as an error of a few drops in the quantity of the spirits obtained from the quantity of wash used by Messrs. Steel and Hetherington would have a material effect on the calculation of the produce of the whole quantity of wash from which it was taken ; and, therefore, as a check on the distiller, such an experiment would be of no value. He also states, that he was not cer tain whe her much reliance could be placed on the result of any distillation when the wash was not considerably attenuated by fermentation. It was also stated, that by using an instrument called Fox's Safe, which is placed on the end of the worm, it would be impossible for the distiller to abstract any of the spirits ; but it appears that there was great reason to doubt whether this in strument, or any other contrivance of a similar nature, would effectually answer the purpose ; and even if it did, it could never be adopted ie Scotland or Ireland, where, as the spirits are not rectified, it is necessary that the distiller should have constant access to the end of the worm, in order to judge of the quality of the spirit as it comes over. As the quantity of spirits which can be pro duced from equal quantities of corn or sugar wash of the same gravity, and the point to which they can be attenuated, vary considerably, it would be extremely difficult for an excise officer to ascertain the produce of spirits from wash made partly from grain and partly from molasses, and the chances of error in charging the distiller with the proper amount of duty would be greatly increased. On this point the Committee of 1807 remark, that " if sugar and grain were used indiscriminately it would be impossible to ascer tain to what point the duty on wash should be reduced ; and if the distiller were to be allowed s drawback on the sugar duty, the quantity of sugar used would he at his own discretion ; no officer could exercise his judgment, and no con troul would be afforded over the officer if he did. The produce of a given quantity of wash made froth sugar differs materially from that made from the same quantity of wash from grain ; in case of a mixture, the quantity of each article so mixed not being defined , it would b e i m p oss ibl e to fix the proportion of credit to be given to the distillers." Now, as it is proposed that the distiller should receive a drawback for the customs duty on the molasses used by him in distillation on the pro duction of a certain quantity ofspirits, your carns mittee apprehend that if the use of gram in the distilleries is not altogether prohibited, while the use of molasses is permitted, great frauds might be committed by a distiller claiming this draw back on spirits, which might have been made either entirely or partly from corn wash. The Finance Committee of 1828 state, in their fourth Report, " That the drawbacks of duty on articles used in manufactures are liable to serious abuses, and are the constant sources of fraud, injurious to the fair trader and to the re venue ;" and they advert, in making this ob servation, to the drawback on malt used in the distilleries, which appears to afford a strong proof of it. Your Committee entirely concur in the view here taken by the Finance Committee ; and they have no doubt that their observations would be found to apply as strongly to the proposed draw back of the duty on molasses as to that of malt. The entire prohibition of the use of grain in the distilleries for indefinite periods, whenever the price of barley should exceed 345. per guar ' ter, would he attended with so much inconveni ence to the distiller, by rendering it necessary for him frequently and at uncertain periods to vary his mode of work, that your Committee could not recommend its adoption. As the spirit pro duced from molasses, and particularly the spirit made from sugar-refiner's treacle, is supposed to be less palateable than malt or corn spirit, such a prohibition could not be extended to Scotland or Ireland. In England the subsequent rectifi cation of molasses spirit would in some degree obviate this objection. Your Committee are further of opinion that the use of molasses in the distilleries, to such an extent as to afford any material relief to the West India planter, would very seriously injure the in terests of the barley growers of this country. They have already stated their opinion that the use of molasses in the breweries would have the effect of displacing a quantity of British barley of the finest quality ; and they fear that the use of molasses in the distilleries would necessarily exclude a large portion of the barley of inferior quality, which, though not fit for making, is per fectly well suited to the use of the distiller. It is not the province of this Committee to enter into the question of the policy of giving protection to the agricultural interest of this country, by imposing an additional duty of ls. 6d. per gallon on Colonial spirits ; but as the dis criminating duty was fixed in 1826, as it is un derstood, with the concurrence of the West India proprietors, and as the opinion of the House on this point was strongly expressed last year, when an alteration of this duty was proposed by the late Chancellor of the Exchequer, they consider it to be their duty to point out to the House that the permission to use molasses, as proposed, would virtually destroy the small advantage which this discriminating duty affords to the agricul. turists of this country. It is clear that whether rum be admitted at the same rate of duty which is now charged on British corn spirit, or the material from which the rum is distilled be admitted for distillation in this country, the effect on the interests of the barley grower is the same. It is stated by Mr. M'Donnell, in his evi dence, that one of the benefits he expected would result from this measure was, that a large pro portion of the molasses now used in the West Indies for the distillation of rum would come to this country as molasses and be distilled here. • A sugar or molasses spirit would thus come in competition with British corn spirit, at a duty of 7s. 6d. in England and 3s. 4d. in Scotland and Ireland, instead of paying a duty of 9s. as at present. If this proposal should be adopted your Com mittee consider that it would be impossible to continue the present discriminating duty on rum lnd other Colonial spirits ; and it is clear, from Mr. M'Donnell's evidence, that he anticipates an equalization of the duty on British and Co lonial spirits. Under these circumstances, however anxious the Committee feel to afford any relief to the West Indian proprietors in their present state of unprecedented distress, they cannot consistently with what they consider due to the interests of the British agaiculturist, to that of the brewers and distillers, and above all to the protection of the public revenue, recommend to the House any measure for permitting the use of molasses in the breweries and distilleries of this country.

On Sunday morning, Mr. LAVENDER, the Governor, received infor mation (from one of the prisoners) that fourteen or fifteen of the prisoners had bound themselves, by an oath on the Bible, to support each other in an attack on the turnkeys and other officers, with a view to escape. He deemed it right, in consequence, not to suffer the prisoners to assemble in the chapel, and to obtain the assistance of a detachment of the 85th Foot, now stationed in this city, as an additional guard.

CHRONOLOGICAL INDEX FOR THE YEAR 1831. (From the Morning Herald.) JAN UAR Y. 2 Serious disturbances take place in Flintshire and Den bigahire, caused by the colliers, who demand an advance of wages and redress of grievances. -- The Marchioness of Aylesbury dies at her house in Grosvenor-square. -- Accounts from Paris state that Madame de Geniis died at that place on the last day of the year, in the 85th year of her age. 5 The Quarter's Revenue is made up, when it appears there is a deficiency of 640,4501. on the year, and 29,480/. on the quarter. The decrease, chiefly in the Customs and Excise, is owing to the reduction or abolition of duties. Up to this date 6,387 persons bad been attacked with cholera in Moscow, 3,586 of whom had died, and 2,707 recovered. Moscow contains a population 0f320,000. 6 A report of the Prussian Government appears, stating that the Government pays yearly ' for the mainte nance of the Six Universities the sum of 66,1101. This includes the expense of the Institution, the salaries of the Professors, and certain allowances for indigent Students. 7 Returns are made from the Horse Guards, showing the military force of Great Britain for 1831 to consist of 8,777 officers on full pay, 9,735 cavalry, 5,104 foot guards, and 59,399 infantry of the line, making, with the artillery and the new levy, a total of about 135,000 men. 10 Richard Carlisle is convicted at the Old Bailey of a seditious libel, and sentenced to pay a fine of 200/., and to be imprisoned fur two years. 14 Henry Mackenzie, the author of the " Man of Feeling," &c., dies at Edinburgh, in the 86th year of his age. 15 J. T.
