FROM LLOYD'S LIST.

The equalization of the wine and beer measures which~
takes place on the Ist of May next, is important. The old
wine gallon contained 231 solid inches, and that of beer
51112; the new equalised gallon is to contain 277 solid
inches, which will be an increase of one-fifth in the size as
compared with the old gallon. Another measure, said to
be now in contemplation, is the reduction in the duties on
all wines; it is-thought French and other wines (('apes
excepted) will all be put upon au equal footing, and only
pay a duty of Ss. per gallon.
