JIOUNSLOW MILITARY RACES.

A series rtf excellent races (a statement of which we give
below) was run, yesterday, over Hounslow Heath, by horses
the exclusive property of the Officers of the 19th Lancers.
Long before the bour announced for starting, the Heath was
thronged with equipages and horsemen ; and, from the cir-
cumstance not lt)eitg generally known, the company was
very select. The• ground was kept by parties of the 19th
Lancers, arid the r.tairety of the scene was increased by the at-
tendance of the ex,,:eLlent hand of that regimen:, which -play-
ed many spirited and martial airs between the heats. The
Heath was also studder., with marquees, for the accommoda-
tion of the res./ aura tuzint, and the lewt ensemble had a plc
turesque and brilliant effect. At half-past two o'clock the
bugle sounded, and the f9ilowing horses started for a
Hunter's Sweepstakes of five guineas each, and thirty gui-
neas added by the Stewards. Two two-mile heats.

Buffer was rode by Lord Fredericli.Berlieley, and his Lord-
ship strained every nerve to pass his antagonists, but Billy
Button distanced him completely.

and 50 Guineas added.

Mr. Lang's l). m. Eliza

--- • -

.
T
he last race afforded much sport, 'and the knowing ones
were taken in deeply ; the long odds being offered, and taken
to a large amount upon Dingdong.

This morning, between three and four o'clock,
an alarming fire broke out in a liquor-shop, the
corner of Dean-street, Holborn, which raged very
furiously, having began in the Bar, and commu-
nicated to a quantity. of spirits ; rite whole of the
interior was destroyed. On the arrival of engines
and plenty of water, further damage was prevent-
ed—no lives lust.

FOR THE SUN.

PUBLIC HOUSES.

MR. EDITOR-111 consequence of the Honour..
able Member for Shrewsbiny having stated 11;s in-
tention on Thursday, the 25•11 of January last, of
bringing in a BILL after Easter, for the better re•
gulating the LICHNSING of PUBLIC 110:TSEi,
had anxiously hoped, that, with your permission,
some one, far more able than myself, would have
attempted, through the medium of your exten-
sively circulated Paper, to address a few observa-
tions to my BROTHER PUBLICANS, at this lm-
. portant crisis, when their dearest interests are
about to be submitted to the considerations of the
Legislature, for the revision, and probably for the
complete, alteration of the present mode of li-
licensing Victuallers. The important necessity f
the subject has long been acknowledged, and lt
will be found no easy task to devise enactments
to provide against the number of existing evils ;
also the deepest penetration will be required .to
avoid creating greater. Many of the honourable
Members, and even Magistrates themselves,
are the friends who will generously assist us, in
tweaking those shackles that have been so long
and patiently borne by, every licensed Victualler.
Surely, at least, it is our ditty to endeavour. to
assist in pointing out the best means to accom-
jilish so desirable an undertaking; therefore let us,
to a man, endeavour to trace the existing evils,
and try to point out the best remedy to correct
them, to add to our own respectability, and rescue
our injured country from the odium of possessing
upwards of forty thousand tradesmen, who,
although they are carrying on trade annually to
the amount of many millions of pounds, are to•
tally excluded, in the nineteenth century, front a
Trial by Jury, the grand P.tlladium of British Li-
berty. Surely then no time ought to be lost,
when it is recollected that we are a body of men
dispersed all over the kingdom, and it will not be
possible fur us to communicate our views to each
other in a few days. Let Its tarn our immediate
attention to the subject, as one month hence our
property, nay every thing dear to our lives, may
unintentionally receive a.. irrecoverable shock, or
it well directed, as Heaven grant it may, we shall
be rendered comparatively happy.
sincerely hope Meetings. will be held in every
part of the kingdom, for the purpose of communi-
cating with each other, that this important subject
may meet with a cool and dispassionate delibera-
tion, free hum all party views ; then, and not till
then, may the poor Publican hope to exult and
smile, under time benign influence of British Laws,
the envy of surrounding nations. •
April 1-2, 1:;19. S. B. Licensed t7ictualler.

* * The LICENSING SYSTEM has beer so much
4c-

abused by caprice, oppreSsiou, and self-interest,
AS has been fully manifested by Mr. BARBER
BEAUMONT, that we hope the Legislature may
be induced to take up the subject. Respectable
PUBLICANS are a most useful class of the commu-

nity, and placed as they are in a peculiar situation,

in being subject to the billeting of soldiers, we
shall at all times be ready to relieve them when
they labour under real grievances, arising from
the Mont..poly of BREWERS, or the Despotism of
MAGISTRAT,ES. Our Paper shall thertlfoi ebe open
on all occasions to render them

LOW PRICE OF HOPS AND MALT.
