The Marx Dart®.—On the 14th of April, w-
ooed* to preset arraignment, the Comelier of the
Exchequer will receive a deputation from the central
society for the rednecks of the malt duties. It is ru-
moured that the much-vaunted surplus of two or three
millions on which the Chamellor wm to operate this
year has become already very cousidszably ettenuated,
and that the hopes of all exponent interests—eves
nom of the insurance oompsoies—have greatly declined.
Meanwhile, the deputation will have the authority of official
statistics for stating that in the peat year. as compared with
1861, there was a deficiency in the quantity of malt made.
of DO/Ay three million bushels. The Chancellor will
lordly be able to lay this upon the nottoa
leonine, as that would scarcely began to tell upon
the onsumption until nearly the cline of the year.
There was elm a very cousaderable increase in the drawbacks
on exportation, premise that the coneumptioe of beer in this
country must be rapidly falling off—a prospect not very
agreeable to either barley or bop growers ; and likely to lied
to the onsumption of deleterious potation rather than the
good old national beverage—the pooe of Sir Jobe Barley-
corn. The local society for the repeal of the malt duties
will no doubt take some steps to join the deputation.
