TTA MARKETS.

Stn,--Allow me to requtst the favour of your calling
the attention of the Eatin,-house Keepers of London to
ihe necessity which exists for their bei.tirring themselves
most energetically at the present opportune period to
obtain an altereion in the law in regiad to he sole of
st.ch Initi-r as they ;,re c, ropiTed to supply'
their customers :tit a, diom r. rtor especially wine.
Mr. Rikington t:a,.s be takes up the question of the
13,er B:11 upon public grounds alone. Let us try him.
I think we can snow hint such a case as will compel him
(it be IlfihereS lo public grounds) to advocate a ni.:re ex-
terfece altcration in the law than he tit ;:resent coidemPlate'n
arc tlarii eons, and I si:oit!ti le,pe q:ot:4--v dry
rate, we Lave justice most clearly on our and it only'
requires our unjust liabilities under the Excise-laws to be
exposed by the Public Press to ob!ain fdr ut the support of
all sound thinking minds.
Let, therefore, a meeting of our useful body be called, •
and a Committee organized to watch this lteer
through Parliament, and to obtain for us the free exe,cise
of our important calling.
Provided the main body or the trade are willing to come
forward, I shall be most anxious to co-operate with them ;
and I send you my name and address with that view.
But it will be worse than useless making a partial or feeble
attempt.
Hoping you will excuse my tronbling you with these
hints, I am, Sir, your ohlit,ied servant,
AN EATING-HOUSE KEEPER.

THE MARKETS.-(THIs DAY•)
CORN EXCHANGE.
This week's arrivals of Grain and Flour have been small,
except of Oats from Ireland, of which there has been a go
quantity, chiefly of a% inferior description. Wheat in the state
last reported. In Bailey, Beans, and Pease, no variation.
Oats of good quality met a slow sale at former prices, and other
kinds very dull. The Flour trade heavy.
SMITHFIELD.
The supply at market not very large, and nearly the whale
were sold. The primest Scots and fine Porkers realised a
trifling advance on Monday's prices. Old Downs were in good
request, and readily taken at an advance of •2d. on Monday's.

little done.
