'lt is, however, believed, that the evil will produce an antidote to itself before long. Certain it is that many of the overgrown brewers would very willingly dispose of the houses in which they contrive, by means of ingenious dignify clerks, w to it v i e i pernicioust the illiaemeof beer. Their argument trash which they is, that the abatement of the duty on spirits has spoiled the sale of their commodity ; but altlit":ugh the cheapness of the mixture of liquid fire ant. v poison certainly does render the use of the more sluggish materuilS less frequent, it is the badnesS of the brewers' coinmodity that has made the public snatch at any substitute. It is that grip ing and oppressive spirit which aims at sudden wealth through the sacrifice of the public healtho that is operating against the interest of those enemies to malt and hops. The brewers but a short time ago were 'in the habit of lending large sums of money to those who retailed their rube bish. The answer now almost everywhere among them is, that "they would rather not." This is a symptom of the retiring glory. of the .trade it is also a proof of the natural consequence of bad example. The rapacity of the great brewer, who, not satisfied with sending an unwholesome and insipid, and often a stinking article to the publican, duns him for money when his wife and family are-almost destitute of the necessaries of life, begets a corresponding laxity of principle in the latter. In fact, it is matter of joke when a breweris; done, because it is estimated that if he is paid by foUr houses out of ten, he is a great deal.too well paid. But the publican, .who is perhaps as timid as he is stupid, is iii a mea• sure to be censored for a great part of his own sufferings. It is mentioned' in the brewer's agreement. that " the tenant shall deal with him for porter so long as it shall be of goof and, saleable • quality." Why, then, does the publican, notwithstanding the outcry raised by his neighbours, persist in "forcing the noxious and unpalatable stUff.down the throats of his re veining customers? He, is justified changing brewer. He can easily procure the evidence ;of a )few coal-heavers, whose testimony would, in I sitchti case, be conclusive, and he could not ay lireliend the verdict of a jury if the monopolise . iWere rash enough to " chance" (as they call it) a trial. Where the system is indeed 'deiperately injurious, as we said before, is in th e su bu r bs, where the brewer has no reputation to lose, and the tenant knows not the means of redress. In one district; about ten miles from London, there are about 28 licensed houses, of which 20 'be.. long to a brewer-who brews ale and porter, and ', - compels his tenants to sell them. He is,tesideS, a' wine and spirit merchant ; and those articles which he takes care to doctor as well as the "beaVy wet," he also forces upon the poor slaves whom he has made subservient to him in every thing. A short time since he determined to possess him- self of one of the principal inns (he had ,all the rest). It was to be sold under will, and he was anxious for the whole public wine-trade of the place. The tenant endeavoured to purchase it by private contract ; but the terms of the will being that it " be sold by•auction," there was no. alternative. Under' those circumstances the tenant must either buy it up with the vengeance of an angry and powerful bidder against him, or conciliate this dangerOls competitor. He cluke the latter. The terms •on which the brewer would leave the field to him were, that the tenant would deal with him in all the articles he was in the habit of vending. This was a most alarm. ing condition. The tenant stared at him and shook his head. " Then," said the brewer, " let the sale . go on : I must have the house." " Well," observed the overpowered publican, " I will deal-with you if you serve me as I should be . served at the docks. " Certainly I shall, my dear fellow," answered the brewer : go along and buy the house, and I hope your busi ness will increase." It has been often observed, that within a short distance of London it is impossible to get beer, or spirits, or wine fit to be •received into the stomach. This is the cause :—The brewer sup plies every-thing, and every thing is detestable. At Richmond there are but three free public houses, and at Brentford there is but one. At the general annual licensing of public houses 'at Horsemonger-lane, about three weeks ago, there were no less than 50 applications for new li . cences, out of which number no more than two were successful. This, we suppose, was to show that their worships were not to be influenced by - the brewers, who arc always so greedily occupied in looking after licences. Whatever may be the cause, those who failed might certainly have been spared expence, which many of them were, we understand, unable to bear. But a poor fellow who fancies that his house- is in such a situation ui t t , rht i o. n r i t f ßy a fact, withoutthsee several as well whistle . to as to command a licence, and who is not aware of the flagitious system which has for so many system comes- in years prevailed, will be astonished to find that a brewer can upon all occasions prevent him from o t agt he public, l Magistrates,tobtaining all i'lbeet i aani s s '''di lparts iid'‘lvgos efwss b pha e u aePb f at t o e i rk t r te i i e h l wt jeu t e t h i rpls :l; :h e l ik i t y e c hst e e hem; n e o s aCt f i ly n : until the conduct of the partial and prep( • 1 . iced distributors are of those magisterial favou rs . . exposed by the press, it is vain to hope for any important altera tion. The fear of the press at the same time tends to t preven any of those regularly-concerted plans which were formal . d fro m b eing y acted upon, adopted, as there are some men on .the bench who do not hesitate to spealc ~loudly o f the abuses which we . hope to see one day reformed. The Magistrates' clerk; - upon the last licensing-day, was' enabled, from the great a dditional fees which poured in upon 'him, to show his gratitude to those who have been , the means of increasing his profits. A moiety of his fees (upon the mere copies of notices, consisting of a few words,) wrung from the pockets of the disappointed ap plicants, was sufficient to enable him to treat the unpaid magistracy to a splendid dinner, and a super-abundance of the most expensive wines, after the labour of licensing the two houses was at an end.—Times.

Augustus Lampen, R.N., of Dart mouth, was partridge-shooting, on Saturday the'22d inst., he took shelter from'a heavy shower, under a hedge, dur ing which his gun accidentally Went off, and shot him through the head, which caused instant death. —Sher bourne Mercury.

Sessions. on Thursday last, and Which contains information on• the state of the police, eve., arising from sources : 'to whiCh it is difficult to have access. . The Chairman. baying admitted the right, which is firmly, st,ablished„ for the Grand Jury to inspeci . the county Prisons, by the order which he signed for this iiiirpose, after " they w ere "discharged,"' as he has sincesaid, it appears ex traordinary 'that he; should•have cavilled at. re ceiving a report of the state in .which. ,tho.se 'prisons might be found ;, and as it may not al- Ways happen that the police and prison arrange : meats may be such as to admit of an account so favOurable as the present, it may be of import ance for the guidance, of future *brand Juries to make known .that the Chairman hesitated to re, ceive any report, otherwise - than ." from the gen" tlemen who had composed the ; Grand Jury." .The .ordet for inspeeting the. prisons .was signed by the Coirman at about four o'clock o*„ Friday, the 2 1 st instant, the in s p ect i on was-1,-'1 eluded at about two o'clock on Saturday, the 22d, and the report was agreed upOn immedi ately afterward's, ,:It was at this .time only that the duty of . the, Grand Jury could have been concluded, by the immediate presenting of their :report ;. but the. Court had adjourned from Friday,- the 21st, :till the morning .of Thursday, the .27th, and it was. on Thursday , morning last, the 27th, that the Grand Jury .attended at Hicks's 7 hall.: On' offering to present their re port, they were told; that " their functions had ceased," and that " they had been absolved frOin their oath " by the Chairman. As Protestants, it is, not easy to conceive how even. the Chairman of, the Quarter Sessions can give, ahsolUtion from an, bath, the obligation of which is entirely prospective; and as the disclosure of facts; which occasionally come to the knowledge of Grand Jury under the snared tie of an oath, would; in some caSes,•disturb the harmony of families,—in Others, thiow a doubt on 'the titles to•estates, or the chastity ofwomen, or the legitimacy .of off spring, and in all undecided cases, attach stigma upon evidence purely ex parte,,--we may assume; that in using the words "' We thank you, Gen= tlemen,—your country thanks you,—you are discharged,"—the. Chairman could ; at the mo ment, have 'contemplated` a discharge only froth the duties which the Court imposed, 'leaving it to the Grand Jury to perform, according to their own consciences; those duties which custom has enjoined, and which he attested under his own hand, at that time, that he knew 'to be incom plete ; and it may not be too much to expect, from the experience of the Chairman of the. Quarter. Sessions, to hear, instead " of absolu tion from an oath," that it is incumbent, on all Parties to bear.in mind the continued obligations • 'of it, though ft is frequently but too carelessly ad ministered in a Court of Justice : " Middlesex Grand Jury-lidom, Sept. 22. On concluding their inquiry into the evidence upon the 'bills laid before them, the Grand Jury express their regret at the great numerical increase of crime in the course Of a few years; very nearly 700 bills having been preferred, and a large'propor don of which are for serious offences. " The Grand Jury 'are able to bear testimony to the zeal and intelligence of- the officers who have come before them belonging to Bow-street and the other police eStablishments; but it has appeared, on several occasion's; that the names of some of those officers have been put on the back of bills as wit 'leases, when the parties have had no knowledge whatever of the circumstances of the indictments, nor of any fads connected with the charges. This practice may multiply expense, and , Kris/ deprive the public unnecessarily. of the active employment of the supernumerary whilst waiting for and during the investigation. " The state of decrepitude in which many watch men have been before the Grand Jury, (several de claring themselves to be above the age of 60 years), is worthy of 'observation and immediate alteration ; and it would be right, in the choice of these men, that greater attention should be paid to their mental as well as to their bodily qualifications. " During the Sessions, noise and disorder have prevailed about the Court to an extent which has frequently interrupted the proceedings ; when, to the above statement, is added that thieving has been committed within the walls of the Sessions-house, no further testimony can be required to prove the inadequacy dr inefficiCney of the means employed to preserve order at this time. " The Grand Jury have examined the 'state of the county gaols and have reason to express their satisfaction at the cleanliness, and, in general, at the system of order which appears to prevail among the prisoners within them. -It has, however, come to the knowledge of the Grand Jury, that, during the time when the prisoners have been employed on the tread-mill, they have been occasionally left for a considerable time entirely to themselves. The Grand Jury desire to point out the necessity of pre venting the confusion which is likely to ensue at such a period, as well as the opportunity then afforded for plotting and conspiracy. . . " To ernploy the better class of prisoners as over seers or inspectors (who are called in the prison Yardsmen'), may to a limited extent, be a very proper measure, but, considering among whom only the selection can be made, the authority to be exerted over others by these agents, and the confidence to be reposed in them, ought, without the slightest intermission, -to be subject to the presence, vigilance, and immediate controul of some of 'ficer of the establishment. Had this degree of caution'been observed at the House of Correction, the death of a prisoner, which has recently occur red, would in all probability have been avoided. " The Grand Jury are of opinion, that after the necessities of life are supplied, the indulgence to be procured in a prison ought, in ordinary circumstan ces, to fall short of the comfort which the honest exertions of the poorest labourer with a family will enable him to procure beneath his own roof. Having this conviction, it has excited surprise in the minds of the Grand Jury , that ten women who arc exclu sively employed in the, laundry at the House of Cor rection should be entitled each t o meat an d porter daily. If the exertion necessary by ten women to complete the woil; he such as to call-for sustenance .superior to that of the other prisoners, to diminish the duration of such employment, and to increase the number of woneen.engaged in it, is the obvious remedy, ,possessing, moreover, the advantage of in structing additional individuals in an occupation by which: they might gain an honest livelihood at the time of their emancipation." Their Royal. Highnesses the Dukes of Cla rence and Sussex will head the procession which is to open the Hammersmith Bridge on Saturday next.

BRAZIL AND BUENOS-AYRES. •The following is a copy of the treaty executed by Senor Garcia at Rio de Janeiro, with the official loan of its rejection by the Govern Meta of }hews Ayres COPY OF THE TREATY BROUGHT BY SENHOR GARCIA. In the name of the Most Holy and Indivisible Trinity.—The Republic of the ,United Provinces of Rio de la Plata, Find his. Majesty the Emperor of Brazil, sincerely desiring to put an end to the dis cord excited between both States, to terminate • immediately the, calamities of war, and 'to :re-esta blish the harmony-, friendship, and good understand= ing which ought to subsist between neighbouring nations, especially when their riches and prosperity are so intimately connected, have resolved to form a Preliminary Convention, which shall serve as a basis to :the crefinitive treaty of peace which is to bt Signed by the two 'high contracting parties, and for this Purpose have named their Plenipotentiaries, to wit--Citizen Don Mantrel.Garcia, on the part of the Republic of the United Provinces of Rio de la Plata; -on the part of -his Majesty the Emperor of Brazil, the most illustrious and excellent Marquis of his Council of State, Senator of ,the Empire, Grand Cross of the Imperial Order of the Crucero, Knight •of the Order of Christ, Minister and Secretary of State for, Foreign Affairs; the Viscount of San Leopoldo, Councillor of State, Grandee ancl - Senatei•of the Empire, Officer of the Imperial Order`of . the'CrticerO, Ktiighf of the Order of Christ,' Minister arid' Secretary of 'State for the Affaiis of the Empire; and th 4. Marquis de . Masaio, Meinber of the Council, Gentle Man Of his Majesty's Chamber, Officer of the, Imperial Order of the Cross, Knight of, the Order of Christ and of St, John of Jerusalem; Lieutenant-Colonel of the Stall of the Arary, and . Minister and Secretary for the Marine Department. The above, after having ex changed,their respective pewers, which were found in good and proper form, resolved and agreed on tht. following : Art. 1. The Reptiblic of the United Provinces of Rio de la Plata acknowledges the independence and integrity of the Empire of Brazil, and renounces all: rights to which, it might have pretended to the ter: ritory of the pro Vince of Monte Video, now called Cisplatirre. His Majesty the Emperor of Brazil ac knowledges equally the independence and integrity of the republic of the, united provinces of Rio de la Plata. • 2. HiS Majesty the Emperor of Brazil promises, in the most solemn manner; in accordance with the LegiSlatlve Assembly of the Empire, that he'Will regulate, with the, utmOst attention, the Cisplatine PrOvine& in ,the same manner, or even better than the other provinces of the Empire, in consideration of the inhabitants having sacrificed 'their independ ence, to be incorporated with the said EMpire ; giv ing them a form of Government suited to their cus toms and necessities, which may not only secure the tranquillity of the Empire, but also 'that of neighbours. 3. The Republic of the United Provinces will retire its troops from the Cisplatine territory after the ratification of this Convention; the said troops shall commence their march 24 hours after receiving notification. The said Republic shall place the said troops on a peace footing, keeping only the neces sary number to maintain the internal ordeetind tran quillity of the country. His Imperial Majesty, on his part, will do the same in the said province. 4. The island of Martin Garcia shall be placed statu quo ante bcllum, withdrawing from it the bat. teries and war-stores. 5. Considering that the Republic has employed privateers in the war against the Empire, it finds it Just and honourable to pay the value of the prizes which shall be proved to be taken from Brazilian subjects by committing acts of piracy. 6. A mixed commission shall be named, to be composed of subjects of both States, for the esta blishment.and liquidation of the accounts which may result from the preceding article. The terms and manner which shall be judged most convenient and equitable for the payments, shall be agreed on by both Governments. 7. The prisoners taken by both parties, by sea and land, since the commencement of hostilities, shall be set at liberty immediately after the ratifica tion of this convention. 8. For the purpose of securing in the best man ner the benefits of peace, and to avoid temporarily all distrust, until the relations :which ought naturally to exist between the two contracting states be esta blished, their Governments agree to solicit, jointly or separately, their great anct, powerful friend the King of Great Britain, (Sovereign mediator for the re-establishment of peace), that he will please to guarantee to them, for the space of 1.5 years, the navigation of the River Plate. 9. Hostilities shall cease, by sea and land, from the date of the ratification of the present conven tion. On the sea, as far as Santa Maria, within two days ; to Santa Catalina, eight ; to Cape Frio, 15 ; to Pernambuco, 22; to the Equator, 40; to the eastern coast, 60 ; and the seas of Europe, 80 days. The commerce and communication between the sub jects of. both territories and states shall be re-esta blished on the same footing as previous to the war, the high contracting parties agreeing from the pre sent to celebrate, with the utmost possible brevity, a treaty of commerce and navigation, for the pur poselld pros perity'els on deman i .whic t ht s h e relations nirmntua all jn i t l e t r h es e x interest e an d 10. The present Preliminary Convention shall be ra tified by both parties, and the ratification shall be ex changed in the city of Monte Video within fifty iviu days froM the date thereof, or sooner -. if possible. and r eg ulation of g to these On the verification of the exchange, the high con tracting parties shall name their respective Plenipo tentiaries, to adjust and conclude the definitive: treaty of - peace. In testimony of which, we, the un dersigned .Plenipotentiaries of. the Republic of the United Provinces of Rio de la Plata, and of his Majesty the - Emperor .of Brazil, in virtue of our respective full powers, sign the present convention with our hand, and affix to it the seal of our arms.

The antecedent Preliminary Convention, made by the Envoy of. the Republic to the Court of Brazil, being submitted to a Council of Ministers, and con sidering that the said Envoy has not only violated his instructions, but also contravened .both the . letter and spirit of them, and that the stipulations con tained in the said Convention destroy the National honour and attack the independence and all the essential interests of the Republic, the Government has determined and resolved to reject it, as de facto it is rejected.
