ALE BREWERS.

The following petition has been adopted at a meeting
of ale brewers resident in London, held at the Crown
and Anchor Tavern :

" To the Right lirnourable the Lords Commissioners of
" her Majesty's Treasury.
" The petition of the undersigned Brewers carrying
on business within the Metropolitan Districts
and elsewhere,
" Humbly sheweth—That they are much alarmed in
consequence of the recent extraordinary advance in the
prices of barley and malt ; and therefore do most
ther e-
spectfully, but earnestly represent to your Lordship
necessity, in the present exigency, to direct, by Order in
Council, that the restriction
con-
sumption of sugar in the brewery be prevents
forthwith
for the purpose of furnishing the opportunity of ewer-
rvets the
removed
may_ now be used in com-
thaiionaitnigoat ow t
hh what
malt extentfor
thesugarro
production of beer and ale.
The undersigned do not ask
for the removal of the
as , lest the revenue might be
restriction upon
msetshe very limited supply, this is
from the very limited supply, this j
scarceJY worth a consideration ; but as sugar, even from
scarcely worth a eroos
pays a higher duty than malt,
the British Planta ,
affected—althoughT
Foreign States very more,
much there is no
and from
valid objection to the removal of the restriction in the
use of sugar.
" Should it turn out that the crops of barley in the
United Kingdom and throughout Europe are as deficient
as is apprehended generally, a further advance in the
price is to be dreaded, because it is difficult to find a sub-
stitute in other grain for malt made from barley, which
may produce the favourite beverage universally is con-
sumed by the middle and lower classes ; while it pro-
bable that experience may enable the brewer to use a
portion of from one-fifth to one-tenth of sugar in com-
bination with malt, without a material change of flavour,
and without prejudice to the landed interest.
"Your Lordships petitioners solicit this alteration
with the greater confidence, being assured that the crops
of sugar for this season to arrive from the British Colo-
nies, as well as from Foreign States, are very much be-
yond all former precedent abundant.
" May it therefore please your Lordships,
"To take your Petitioners' application into your
consideration, and to decide the question in such a
manner as shall appear to your Lordships' wisdom most
advantageous to all classes of this great country, and
that as speedily as possible.
" And your Petitioners will ever pray," &C.

the province of Huelvas the produce is estimated at
24,000 douros (4,8001.)
