SOLICITOR —Mr. Spun, 49, Lothbury.

The solicitude of Government has long been evinced towards the
encouragement of the British Distilleries. The Agricultural and
Colonial Interests have both been advanced thereby. and the pro-
posed reduction in the Excise Duties. on British Spirits of from
10s. &I. per gallon to fis. per gallon, if distilled front Grain, and Ss.
if distilled front Shalt, being computed at nearly One 'Million per
annum, more decidedly declares the views of Government in sup-
port of those important interests, and must necessarily create a very
considerable increased consumption. The observation is confirmed
by an Abstract of the net produce of the Revenue of Great Britain,
for the year eliding 6th January. 1826; whereby it appears, that
the total amount of Excise Duties on " British Spirits," was the
enormous sum of nearly Three Millions, being an Increase of more
than 250,000/. on British Spirits for the preceding year, and I-6th
greater increase than on any other article.
The advantages arising from the employment of Capital in Dis-
tillation is well known to be considerable, and the object of the
present Company will be to give to its Proprietors a liberal remu-
neration for the Investment, whilst at the same time they will be
enabled to supply the Public with such articles on such terms u
