IMPORTANT TO AI ILTSTERS.—A letter, the
.con-
tents of which we conceive to be of great impor-
tance to the numerous maltsters resident in this
county, has just been received by our worthy
representative, Mr. Goocu ; who, it is untteces,-
sary for us to say, is always
_amongst the most
forward to promote the interests of Agriculture
in all its branches. Of the letter alluded to, we
have been favoured with the following extract,
which we have much pleasure in communicating
to our readers :

" Treasury Chambers, Jan. 4, 1322;
MY DEAR Srn—ln consequence of and other re-
presentations, it •has been determined by their Lordships, this
morning, to allow the time for soaking the barley in the pro-
cess of malting to be s'a or tened, until' the let of June next, under
such regulations as may be deemed necessary for the protection
of the revenue. The rules will.probably be the same as those
adopted in the wet season of 1816. The order will go to the
Board of Taxes this night.
" Ever your's,
" S. R. LUSIIINGTON.
.

To T. S. Goomr, Esq. ALP."
;Bury Gazette, Jan. 6.)

BOSTON, DEc. 6.—The sloop packet, REF.O,
frormWiscasset for this port, went on shore dur-
ing a gale. Two female passengers, a mcitliei
and daughter, Were saved by lashing thernsel.vPi
to the quarter-deck, while the sea made a .fair
'breach over them, and were not relieved from
their perilouS situation till the tide, left her; she
has bilged, but the cargo is saved.
Houain AluanEa.—On .Tuesday night lait,
ahout twelve o'clock, as W. Thomas, a lad, abcut 15 years
of age, together with his brother, were returning from a
chilifeast in Carmarthen, they called at a public-house in that
town, from which they were quietly going home, when the
former was assaulted and beat in such a manner by Jtihr
Davies, a taylor, that he died on the spot. The Coroner's
Inquest returned a verdict of " Wilful Murder against John
Davies, and also against T. Miller, as accessary to the fact." The
deceased was a most quiet, inoffensive lad, and by his assiduity
was the support of his poor mother, who is now almost dis-
tracted.—(Gloucester Journal.)

" Church-yards. yawn," hut the ‘g graves" of
married folks will not " give' up their 'dead." The town of
Sleaford, Isle of Man, presented on Monday and Tuesday
week a scene of bustle and confusion hardly to be conceived,
occasioned by a report that a woman, who had been buried.a
fortnight, was heard groaning. Numbers flocked to the chtiref:-
yard, and so firmly were many of them persuaded, of the truth.
of the report, that they actually applied to the Vicar for permis-
sion to disinter the body. The woman's husband, wiser than
his neighbours, when applied to for leave .to open the grave;
fused, saying it cost him so much to place her in the *round,
that he was determined not to be at any expence to take her out
again—he therefore desired his officious friends to let his. wife
rest in peace and quietness.—(Glasgow Chronicle.) .
KIDNAPPING.—A letter which we have .ri`-
ceiveci from Keslick says:—" From a circumstance' which be-
curred here a few nights ago, it appears that kidnapping is not
totally laid aside; for as a boy (now residing with Sir. Gideon
Dare, of Chesnut-hill, in this vicinity) was passing a lodziljg-
house at the lower end of liesVeiok, two unknown ruffians seized
hint ; and had it not been for a man who came to his assistance
in consequence of his cries, they would have succeeded, in 'all
probability, in forcing him into a sack, which they were endesi-
vouring to effect.--(Carlisle Patriot)

CORN EXCHANGE, JAN. 9.
We have further supplies in since Monday, whit h make a
great quantity far beyond the demand, which is smart, only for
the best sorts, the ordinary continuing (for Wheat) not in a
grinding state, and the stained samples of Barley generally much
sprouted and not fit for malting causes that not saleable ; in
Peas and Beans not much doing, but the price full as dear as
on Monday ; Oats a large supply, and about ls‘ lower this
week than last.

HOP INTELLIGENCE.
SOUTICWARK, JAN. 7.—Our trade is not, very brisk jUst
now, because there are not many hops on sale;, Sussex and
Weald of Kent Pockets are most in demand.
MAIDSTONE, JAN. B.—We have had within the last week
a good demand for our second run of hops, and at a small
improvement in price ; a house here has purchased several
hundred bags ; the quantity now left is very trifling. —The
accounts from the Weald of Kent and Sussex, as well as from
our own low lands, are of a most alarming nature, all the
hop gardens have been under water for a considerable time ;
the stock, in a great many instances, is literally rotten,
and we much fear it will be found generally so in the spring off
the year, as we have, in many instances, the same complaint in
our .own immediate neighbourhood.

[MORNING rosT.]
Wenoticed, some weeks ago, the apprehen:
,lions which had then been. excited in the town
and garrison of Gibraltar, in consequence of the
iwant,of water. While in these parts we have
:.had daily to record the calamitous effects of in-
undations almost unprecedented, there'the inha-
bitants have been mocked' with smiling skies;
.and- trhile we, in many'weeks in succession, Lave
indulged in uoavailing regrets for the absence of
fine weather,i,they bare prayed in vain for the
solace of a storm.—ln ordinary times water is
somewhat scarce in Gibraltar. In England it
may seem singular to hear of a country Where
-water:cannot be obtained but by paying for it,
as it is measured. out. But this is the case at
Gibraltar, where sixpence is the regular price
fora pailful!. The commodity thus piirchased
is obtained in a way'which WoUld...lead many in
this country to think that it could not be good.
As the-- rain descends from the more elevated
parts of the rock, it is received in a piece of earth
-which is used as a burying ground, having
paSsed through this, it is collected in tanks, from
'which the town is supplied. Since 'last March
but two copious falls of rain have been witnessed.
Of course the quantity in the tanks ,has been
much diminished, and the disappointment expe,
rienced from the absence of a replenishing sup-
ply at the proper season, it is easier to ima-
gine than to describe. Whether the evil so
severely felt at Gibraltar be confined to the
rock, or extend over any considerable portion of
the Spanish territory, we have yet to learn; and
we are also ignorant whether, in case of neces-
sity, it is likely that a supply can be obtained.
from the African continent. We,however, trust
that we shall soon hear that no such aids are
wanting, and perhaps we may affirm, that as we
are inundated while no rain fell there, now, since
showers and storms are less frequent here than
they were, the probability is that Providence has
transferred that which we can so cheerfully part
with to those places where it will be welcome,
and given what we call bad weather to those by
'whom its approach will be esteemed a blessing.
