TO TIE EDITOR.

Si g t—in consequence of the Honourable Member for
Art tet)lwr y, haying stated his imention on Thursday,
the :28111 ianitary last, of bringing in a Bill after Easier,
for hits better legulating the Licensing of Public Houses,
I had anxiously hoped, that some one, far more aisle
thati myself would have attempted, through the medium
of your extensively circulated Paper. to address a tew
observations in my brother Publicans, at this important
cris.s, when their tb.-arest interests are about to be sub.
sinned to the consideration of the Legislature, for the
revision, and probably for the complete alteration of the
present niode of licencing Victuallers. The necessity of
CilalliAC has long been acknowledged, but it will be
found no easy task to devise enactments to provide against
the number of existing evils, and the deepest penetration
will be required to avoid creating greater. Many of the
lionoorable Members, and even some of the Al agist rates
11.•oiselves, will generously aid its, in breaking those shac-
kles that have beets so long and patiently borne by every
licensed Victualler. Surely, at least, it is onr duty to
endeavour to assist in Pointing out the best means to ac-
complish in desirable an end, let us, therefore, ID a man,
endeavour to trace the existing evils to their source, anti
try to point out the best remedy to correct them, to add
to our own respectability, and rescue our itijoreal country
from the odium of possessing upwards of forty thousand
tradesmen who. although they are carrying on trade an.
totally to the amount of many millions of pounds, are
twat! ly excluded, in the nineteenth century, from a Trial
by Jury, the grand palladium of British Liberty. Surely
then not time might to be lost, when it is recollected
that we are a body of men dispersed allover the kingdom,
and it will not be possible for us to communicate our
views to each other in a few days. Let us tun' our im-
mediate attention to the subject, as one month hence
our property may remise an irrecoverable shock, or by
well directed efforts we may be tendered comparatively
happy.
I sincerely hope meetings will be held in every part
r of the kingdom, for the purpose of communicating with
L each other, that this itnportant subject may meet with a
cool and dispassionate deliberation ; then, and not till
then, may the Publican boil to exult and smile, under
the benign inMuetice of British Laws, the envy of sur-
rouuditig nations.-1 am, Sir, your obliged Servant,
S. B.

High Court of Chancery, in the years 1746, 17156, 1776,
1786, 1796, 1806, 1816, and 1818, as laid before t 1 .e

We understa^d that Sir Robert l'eel and Mr. Wil-
liam Peel, on hearing of the unfortunate failure if
the Tatnworth Bank, immediately sent a munificent
sum of money to the town for the purpose of alley'.
sting the inconvenience and distress of the lesstr
tradesmen and poorer classes, without distinction ;
and on Friday ISO persons received donations equal
to one half of their loss. Such benevolence, as
might be expected, produced the most lively and
unrestrained sentiments of joy and gratitude ; and
we are informed that the purse of the benign donors
still continues open to the other inhabitants of the
town who have soffered, and may wish to partake of
their bounty. How truly Christian-like is this!
The Heels and Griper, discovery ships. will sail•
from Deptford on tlae ilst instant, for Davis's Straits.
