QUA RTC R SESSIONS.

At Somerset Quarter Sessions, on Thursday last,
the notorious Jas. Gains was found guilty of pick-
ing the pocket of Mr. Baker, of Puck lechurch, in
Gloucestershire, on Limsdown, during the late Rath
races, and sentenced to seven years transportation.
The Chairman extolled the vigilance of the tything-
men in general. and particularly praised the acti-
vity and firmness of James Wines, of Weston, who
apprehended Caine'', at the imminent peril of his
own life.

The case of the Abbntts Leigh parish officers was
brought before the Court, oat a ►noon► by Mr.
MenxE, for an order that the poor-house be put in
repair. Mr. MooitE represented to the Court, that
the paristi officers had, at the early hour of ►ix in
the lamming, proceeded to strip oti the roof of the
poor-house of Abbott's Leigh, there being then iu
it sixteen persons, two of them females, one of them
having six children, said the other four. That these
persona were left exposed to the weather, having
nothing t.► defend thriu hot an old sail of a ►hip,
through which the wind and rain easily penetrated,
and that the parish officers had refused to repair or
rebuild the poor-house.

Mr. ADAM, oil behalf of the parish, said he would
'hew by evidence, that his clients had always been
willing to do their duty by rebuilding the poor-
house, but that from want of water it was de►irable
to find a more proper site for the purpose ; and
that Mr. Miles, of Bristol, 010 owned a great part
of the pariah, had been app!ied to, but his absence
in London had prevented any &finite measures
taking place. %Viten the roof was taken off; the
inmates were apprized that other lodgings were pro.
sided for them, but one of the women, for whom
and her children a place had been engaged at Pill,
refused to gu thither frum Gar of the measles. Mr.
Adam made a spirited defence for his clients from
the aspersions directed against them, soil examined
Mr. Chadwick, the vestry clerk, at some length, as
to the c luct of the parish officers alien applied to
by G. P. Seymour, Esq. the 14.1v:trate, on this
occasion.

The COURT declined going further into this case
than to make an order on the purists officers to re-
pair the poor-house.
The %Vats Quarter Sessions commenced at War-
issinsirr yesterday se'sinight. There were shout 50
prisoners for trial, but no particular interest was
excited. A i.ecorsil Court was formed for the imr-
lime of expediting she business, w which WADHAM
Loc►, EN. presided.

HINTS RESPECTING
THE MaiNUFACTIIIMS ANL) TR46E

OF GERMANY,
runstx FIRVOVRTED TO THE OFILMAK OOTEHNIKENTI,

IT EIVINT WIESER. OF (ERA.

(Gives i• is to the King of Bavaria and the Bavaria. States.)

1. The balance of trade of Germany was formerly Male.
Seined in eqoilibriorn. chiefly by the German manufactures,
and the use of Colonial goods, kc. was richly covered by this
means.
11. At the beglnniog of the French Revolution. England
took possession of alum!, all the Colunieis of the European
Powers, and thee. by brought 70 millions of men under her
sway. She wished slime to supply their want ol manufac-
tured commodities, hut had not a sufficiency of hands. and
was obliged therefore to snooty their place by machinery.
With the immense wealth which the English nation, under
the Navigation Act, and the policy which the English Go-
vernment has followed uninterruptedly since the time of
Goren Elisabeth, namely, that of closing the ports of En;-
land in the strictest manner againt the import.ition of fir-
reign manufactures, and stipulating as much ■s possible in
Treaties of Commerce for the introduction of English ma-
nufactures into other countries, this nation could nut fail to
*emceed in doing what no other had hitlwrin been able to do,
rendering herself, by the colossal and extensive nature of
her manufactures, as independent of human hands as pos-
sible. . . .

111. This gradually effected a complete revolution in the
trade of Europe, and she former order of things was entirely
destroyed; for, Ist, there were wow no limits to the 1111311 U.
factories( power of England, which slime was enabled to
supply the wants of the whole world ; 2dty, the economy of
labour by machinery, as compared with human frauds, is,
according to the quality of the subjects, as I to 20-60; nay,
even as 1 to 100; and consequently it became now easy to
exclude all other manufacturing States from competition ;
3,11,, when natural means were iniutfirient, artificial and
unnatural were had recourse to, such as drawbacks, dm
IV. The consequence of all ibis was, that Germany lost all
sale for her manufactures in foreign countries or could only
sell them at a loss, and from the complete abandonment of
a retaliatory system, the German manufactures were driven
out of the market by the English also at home.
V. The gene.al impoverishment of Germany was wow
inevitable; fur instead of the foreign money which had
hitherto been brought in large sums to Germauy, and which
covered her importations of foreign natural produce, there
is now sent annually from Germany, for English manu-
factures alone, to F.neland, 130 millions of florins; for,
according to official documents, the export■ of English ma.
nnfactured goods to Europe, in 1818, amounted to
35,3245,000/. sterling, or 3381 millions of &rine. As the
must of the nutmeat' Stales are closed to English goods,
one third of the whole amount, according to the English
manufacturers, goes to Germany, which makes 129 2-3 d mil-
lions of &rine. According to the Hamburgh lists, the
imports of English goods into Hsmburgh alone, in the months
of January, February, and Hatch (in the season when Navi-
gation first commences), 11,007 eolli, which amounts per
annum to 46,428 colli, the value of which is estimated at
12:" millions of florists, without includiug the imports into
the other ports.
VI. The decline of the German manufactures has neces-
sarily caused the impoverishment of the whole of the persons
engaged in trade and manufactures, and next that of the
agriculturist., and finally that of the whole isation. During
the war this was less visible : 1. Because a great deal of
ready money was brought Germany by foreign armies,
a greet coneeineption of provisions took place, ■nd many
trades were kept is great activity. 2. Because during the
Continental Sys': en the most of our manufactures were in a
flourishing state. 3. Because by subsidies and French
contributions, and large loans, particularly in England,
much money was brought into Germany: But things are
wow very different, when all these resources are at an coil,
and on the oilier hand, interest must be paid oo the loans,
and the war debts insist be paid by the people—and the
agriculturist, in the poverty and in. 'easing want of the ma-
nufactureis and arsisans, a clam Renovating to millions of
souls, will soots be unable to find • market for his produce.
He will iu the sequel be as Wile able as the traders and ma-
uufaeturers to bear the necessary burdens of the State.
VII. What ought our expectations as to the future balance
of the trade of Germany to be, when it is considered that for
Coluuial goods alone, namely, for sugar, coffee, apices, tea,
tobacco, &c. &c. these is lly drawn front Germany

But how la this to be done, seeing that the manufactures
of Germany, from the above-nsentioneal causes, have re-
ceived such a dreadful shock, that Nuremberg, fur example,
which before the French Revolution exported manufactures
to foreigners to the amount of more than nine millions of
florins, can scarcely now sell to the amount of one and a half
or two millions of florins; Silesia, whirls formerly manufac-
tured linen to the amount of between 10 and 11 millions of
dollars, and employed wady 35,000 looms, scarcely exports
at this time to the valor of one million of dollars. Of linen
yarn, even it still lent to Englood—
In 1914

as the English cotton manufacturers then began to manu-
facture from cotton, stuffs resembling linen, which enabled
them to dispense with Boren yarn. The same thing has
happened to the linen manufacturers of Bavaria, Wirtem-
herr, and Baden, to the mastitis of Saxony and Switzer-
laud, to the stockings, caps, cotton aid woollen stiles,
cassimeres, leather, steel, wood, and other manufactures
of Prussia, Saxony, Bavaria, and Wirtcmherg. The Ger-
man manufacturers have therefore, especially in the two
last years, sacrificed incredibly large slims of money, that
their labourers might not remain altogether idle and with-
out bread, and that their expensive erections might not
remain unoccupied ; for were the doors of these once to be
closed, an age might not he able to restore them. These
sacrifices, however, they art unable longer to hear,
mid they most therefore make up their minds to diamiss
their workmen and renounce their calling. The consequence
of this will be, that Germany will soon have to maintain a
million of unoccupied, hungry, and desperate men ; mole
will disappear along with wiassiffactures, luxuriant fields
will be converted into wildernesses. and Germany must
descend from the heiglath of her cultivation to barbarism
and beggary. Impressed with this dreadful state of Ger-
many, the above-named feels himself called on, to the neglect
of his own private affairs, to lay io person this melancholy
hut unfortunately WO true picture before the different Go-
vernments of Germany, in order that he may he able to afford
the necessary explanation as far as possible. He dues
nut venture to dictate to them the manner in which he con-
ceives this evil should be arr►sted ; hr is however convinced,
that the abolition of all custom duties, land and water tolls
and transit duties (wills the except' of turnpike dues), in
and through all Germany, and the removal of them to
the frontiers, as also recousse to the system of retaliation
towards foreign countries, are the surest means of reuse.
dying the evil. As this wish has already been expresses' in a
Memorial to the Diet, he has undertaken this joursicy in com-
mas with the Deputy from the German merchants, who
have agreed to this Petition, and wills Professor List, their
Counsel; for although ass atliir of suctegeiveral importance
ought properly to be discussed in a common Gerinass Tri-
bunal, yet they consider it lodispensably necessary to lay
it at the same time before all the different Rulers of Ger.
many One obstacle may stand in the way of
coming to this determination, namely, an apprehension
that by abolishing the internal duties, the different trea-
suries might ansmiu a defalcation, and that the officers
at present employed in collecting these duties might become
chargeable to the State. But there is little ground for this
last apprehension, for the greatest number of these officers
might be employed in the general tolketion on the frontiers
of Germany; and the produce of the general duties would
sufficiently cover the &fails:Mims of Ike getters' duties, with.

Have vo■ caamined certain substances which ynn have
received from a messenger of the Howse of Commons ?
I have.

What are they ?—1 bad them but a very short lime, there.
fore to analyse them was not in my power ; sod I moist
also premise, that it Is impossible to analyse many vege.
tables, especially when any parts are abstracted by infusion
o► decoction; this paper [producing one] emitairs sulphate
of iron, commonly called green copperas. The sulphate of
iron, in its first state, is this [producing a specimen), ■ud
though vulgarly tatted by the came 'Aconites/I, there is no
copper in it ; it is iron ; it is a ehalyheate; there is a *bite
copperas and a blue copperas, which are rather deleterious,
particularly the blue.
Is this deleterious N—lt may he deleterious if continued
too long; but when li tell the Committee it is sii effectual
remedy in medicine, it cannot be deleterious. Ir sonic
cases, the best of medicines, if continued too lung, may prove
injurious.
If a person drank beer habitually, in which this should
always be found to hr infused, would it be injurious
some cases; that is rather a medical question. I apprehend,
in som► cases, persons predisposed to ■poplesy, It must be
injurious to; that is an opinion which may be withheld;
medical men should speak to that; delicate females it may
be useful to.

That would depend upon the quantity need L—Yea.
Its deleterious quality would depend upon the quantity
infused in the liq.lor?—Yes. .

Do you know for what purpose this substance can be in-
fussed into beer ?—1 am pretty sure it is used for what is
called heading; and I presume it is to give it a brown froth,
which is acceptable to the public; and I believe it is put in
fur that purpose. I know that it has been put in ; but Ido
nut say by the very reaptctsbk brewers; I know it has been
sold on purpose, within the last eight or ten years.
Have you known it used within six years!—l have ant;
if I were to say yes it wuuld be merely speaking frum the
appearance of what! have drank occasionally.
Do you believe, from the appearance of what you bare
drank that it continues lu be used!—Yes.

By whom )—I cannot say; my servant fetches it is the
neighbourhood; where she goes I cannot tell.
Is the remark you now make respecting the appearance
or porter or ale ,—Porter wily; because I know when it was
used it was for porter only. . . . . .

Is it your opinion, from recent observation, that that sub-
stance is used io porter ?...INlint from my own observations,
because I have not been sedulous enough to examine the
porter; it is au trifling a quantity that comes into my own
family, I am not prepared to my it is generally used.
When you saw the fact of ibis substance having been
used, did you refrain from drinking it yourself?—No, I did
nut ; I know what a chalybeate is; and I know it is in a
stale of stopension, not in roluliou ; I mean suspension; if
the thing be shaken together it will be in suspension, and
from the thickness of porter, it dues not immediately sub-
side, it goes to the froth; it Is a common thing for a foot.
man to bold the liquor high to poor it, out, which,
bye, is not a good way.
Mast the sulphate of iron necessarily be mixed with the
liquor before it is finally made into beer, or is it possible to
he mixed after the beer is brought and delivered believe
it is generally mixed after the beer is finished; it must re-
tard the fermentation if it was put in before.
Du you conceive that it is muted by the brewers or the
publicans, to give the appesrauce you allude to think
it is mixed by the brewers.
Are the Committee to understand, that in nu recent o►-
lions within five or six years, you have believed that
this ingredient has form►d any part of the porter ?—I have
tint the same proofs I allude to at former time*, the direct
proofs ; but from conjecture and appearances, out from any
chemical analysis; but that is very easily tried, there is
nothing more easy.

Upirti what ground do von form the belief that it is still
used !—Thmt the same mows exist for continuing it, that
is, rendering the brown head to the porter ; and that the
puler still, as far ar 1 have observed, has the appcurauce of
its heiug continued.

Do you mean to say you still are the same signs in the
froth of porter which shrived you the presnice of clialybeate
which you did before!—Yes.
Can you state to the Committee what quantity of this in.
gredieut would have that elfect upon a gallou of porter!-1
cannot, flow any experiments, give an opinion; boil I
should think there is nut more than a pound of it iu a butt
of porter. It has been sold and divided into pound parcels,
whether that is for a whole vat ur for a butt, I canuot say.
Supposing a large quantity to have been put into a butt
by an unskilful mixer, would it produce a liquid injurious to
the public!—lt is like a medicine; it may do good iii some
eases, and may be very prejudicial iu °thus; it certainly
may do good iu many: iu debilitated minstitutions it may
be useful.

VIM have stated just now, that nothing is so eary as to
detect this in porter?—Yen; and by a very abort tootle I will
mention how it may be done; if the porter be boiled to dry.
ionn, and enhtwillcd to nu arid, soy souriatie acid, the pros.
sitar of potash will discover the iron, or a common infusion
of grills.
Are yon not of opinion that where detection is so ex-
tremely easy, that in unlikely that this mixture should be
frequently lined have never attempted even to detect it,
knowilut it hail lo en lint 4.1, 311111 belu•vutg it to hr Hoed ; and
losing a drinker 4.1 p•u :fr myself, I never i xamined a
single atom of porter.
You do not kiwis of any Odell of this powder in povind

not.
