GOD SAVE THE KING.

By the Lords Justices and CouneilcoUreland, a Proclamation.
W. ARMAGH. MANNERS, C. D. BAIRD.
Whereas by an Act of Parliament passed in the fifty-fourth
year of his late Majesty's reign, intituled " An Act to provide
for the better execution of the laws in Ireland, by appointing
superintending Magistrates and additional Constables in coun-
ties in certain cases," it is amongst other things enacted, that it
shall be lawful for the Lord Lieutenant, or other Chief Gover-
nor or Governors of Ireland for the time being, by the advice
of the Privy Council of Ireland, to declare' by Proclamation,
that any County, County of a City, or Ccstnty of a Town in
Ireland,or any Barony or Baronies, or half Barony or half Ba-
ronies in any County at large to be therein specified, is or are in
a state Qf disturbance and requires or require an extraordinary
establishment of Police.
And whereas it hath sufficiently appeared to us, that the
' King's County (with the exception of the Baronies of Upper
Philipstown, Coolstown, and Warrenstown) are in a state
of disturbance, and require an extraordinary establishment of
Police.
Now we, the Lords Justices, by and with the advice of the
Privy Council of Ireland, by virtue of the said Act and of the
powers thereby vested in us, do, by this our Proclamation de-
clare, that the King's County (with the exception of the
Baronies of Upper Philipstown, Coolstown, and Warrenstown)
are in a state of disturbance, and require an extraordinary esta-
blishment of Police.
Given at the Council Chamber in Dublin, the 30th day of
May, 1821.

" We are inclined to credit the observations
of an Evening cotemporary of Saturday, that
there is, beyond a doubt, a Revolution going
on, a silent, but a' steady Revolution.' But we
deny that the Country Gentlemen of Ireland
have not used every means in their power to
check disturbance, and allay the rancour of party
feeling. It is evident that in the proclaimed
districts the local Magistracy have been unable
to act with proper effect, for, in almost every
instance, where a Magistrate renders himself con-
spicuous in the discharge of his duty, he is cer-
tain to meet, as a reward—murder or assassina-
tion. We need only quote the names of Baker,
St. George, Butler, and Knipe, all active Magis-
trates, and all murdered fur their activity. It is
not, in fact, local grievances or local distress,
which is the real cause of disturbance. We at-
tribute it exclusively to the system of Ribbonism,
already found so fatal to the tranquillity of Ire-
land. The hostility of these intolerant ruffians
to every person professing the Protestant Reli-
gion, is on record, and the result of a late ques-
tion in the House of Lords has tended to augment
that hostility, as from the triumph of their cause in
one House they were led to expect a similar de-
cision in the other. Without the introduction of
an armed police, therefore, it is in vain to expect
the restoration of tranquillity in any part of the
disturbed districts : and the Irish Government,
aware of this fact, and acting on the request of
the Magistrates, has, with its characteristic firm-
ness and decision, sent such aid as the law has
wisely vested in its hands for the protection of
. _

the peaceable inhabitants. Under all these cir-
curratances may we not fairly ask what induce-
ment is there for the Absentee to reside in Ire-
land, where his life is in continual danger from
the attacks of Ribbon-men, or at best protected
by an armed Police?—There is but one effectual
remedy for all these evils, and that is cutting off
forty-shilling voters; for so long as they retain a
preponderating share in the representation, so
long will the members returned by them succumb
to their wishes, and by an unworthy desire of re-
taining their places, sacrifice the best interests, of
their country."—(Hibernian Journal.)

Irtisnt SPIRIT TRADE.—The illicit distilling in
Ireland has long been a subject of well founded
regret, both in a, political and moral point of
view ; and we believe it cannot be denied that if
it has not arisen from the putting down of small
legal stills, yet it has been in a considerable de-
gree fostered by that measure. But the Irish
Board of Excise have been hitherto prevented
from restoring the small stills by licensing them,
in consequence of the impossibility of preserving
a sufficiently strict guard against frauds, during
the process of distillation. An important change
may, however, now he expected to take place in
that respect, in consequence of an apparatus in-
vented by THOMAS POTTINGEH, Esq., of Carrick-
fergus,,improved, or, as it is said, in an Excise
report of the 16th April 1821, " replaced," by
simpler apparatus and machinery suggested by
Mr. COFFEY, one of the Inspectors General.—
The effect of this apparatus is to record every
part of the distiller's operations, from first to last
of the process, without the agency of the .officers,

and solely by its own action, without being sub-
ject to the controul or management either of
Officer or Distiller. The, principle is very inge-
nious, though extremely simple, and we trust that
its adoption will be beneficial, not only to the
Revenue, but also to the industry and sobriety of
the sister island.

THE REPORT made to the Commissioners of Excise in ire-
land, by Officers appointed to superintend the experiments in
the Process of Distillation, carried on at Carrickfergus, and
transmitted by the said Commissioners to the Chancellor of
the Exchequer. _ _ _

Carrickfergus, April 16, 1821.
GENTLEMEN—We reported, on the 6th of January last.
the result of experiments carried on at the distillery of Mr.
John Thompson, of Carrickfergus, with machinery invented by
Thomas Pottinger, Esq. ; and with reference to that part of
our Report, wherein we state, that the defective apparatus, con-
trived by Mr. Pottinger, was to be replaced by another of a dif-
ferent and simpler description, suggested by Mr. Coffey, one
of our number; we now beg leave to report, that we resumed
our experiments on the sth of March, with this new apparatus,
which we applied to a still of 500
„reales content. •
This apparatus is contrived for the purpose of recording every
part of the distiller's operations from the time lie brings his
wash into the still-house, until he takes the finished spirits out
of his receiver, without the agency of the officers who may be
in charge of thei distillery, and solely by the action of the ma-
chinery, not within the controul of either officer or distiller.
The principles on which this apparatus acts, may, in gene-
ral terms, be described to be as follows :—Pirst, the still is so
constructed, that no wash can be put into it without pas Sing
through a close vessel, wherein the quantity is -measured and
recorded ; second, the low wines and feints receivers have no
outlets, except to the still, and through a similar measuring
vessel ; and lastly, that nothing can be taken out of the re-
ceiver, containing the finished spirits, without passing through a
measuring .vessel, which records' how often it has been filled
and emptied, and also retains a sample of spirits, by which the
strength of what had been taken out can at all 'times be known.
The vessel employed for measuring the wash in the Carrick-
fergus distillery, served oho as a still charger, aid may be cal-
led the "Mash Measuring Charger." It is a close vessel,
commanding the still, with two stop-cocks, or a double cock,
affixed to it, so constructed, that by the act of opening the cock
for filling the charger, the other for emptying it is shut, and vice
versa, so that the, vessel cannot be at the same time receiving
and discharging the wash. A click and raeliet wheel prevents
the cocks from being turned, except in the one way, and every
time the distiller turns it round, he can once fill his charger,
and empty the contents into the still.
The cock is enclosed in a cast iron box, screwed to the charger
by bolts secured on the-inside, in such a manner as to be inacces-
sible to thedistilleror officer, and within this box iu e a few wheels,
of smaller construction, which record the number of times the
cock has been turned, and of course the quantity of wash put
into the still ; the number of revolutions of the cock is marked
on an index within the box, visible through small apertures
covered by glass. •
An overfall pipe is fixed in this measuring charger, which
shows the distiller when it is full. This pipe also serves to let
air into the charger, _but contains a' valve to prevent any liquid
being forced up through it.
Another charger commands the still, through which all the
singling and feints are conveyed from their respective receivers,
and\ measured before they can
:be put into the still. This vessel
is constructed exactly in the same manner as the wash charger,
except that the overfall pipe requires no valve, because it ter-
minates within die feints receiver, a close vessel, to which the
distiller has no access.
The wash, singling, and feints, are conveyed from these
chargers to the still through copperpipes, terminating.in a small
close copper case on the breast of the still, in which a third
pipe also terminates, conveying water from the bottom of the
worm-tub, when it may be thought necessary. In this case is a
valve, opening and shutting at the distiller's pleasure, for the
admission into the still of the liquids flowing through the three
pipes, viz• the wash pipe, low wines pipe, and water pipe.
The head of the still (which a tube turning down at an
angle of about 45 degrees before it communicates with the
worm) is attached to the still by screws, secured on the inside,
as is also the case containing the valve just mentioned. The dis-
charge cockis so constructed, as freely to let every thing pass
out of the still, but nothing into it. It is permanently united
with a discharge pipe leading into the spirit-wash cistern and
saver.

The safety or air valve, instead of being fixed, as is usual,
on the breast of the still, is on the arm connecting the worm
with the head ; of course no fluid can be conveyed through it
into the still. There are no other openings in the still, except
a man-hole for the occasional examination of its interior.
At the discharge of a tail of the worm, a three-way cock is
fixed in such a • manner that it cannot be removed. Through
this, the spirits, singlings, and feints are conveyed to their re-
spective receivers at the distiller's pleasure, and every facility is
afforded him-for viewing the colour, heat, and-strength of the
liquor as it runs, by means of Mr. Pottinger's Hydrometer,
which is fixed to the worm close to this cock, and which ope-
rates in the manner described in our report of the 6th January.
The spirits, singlings, and feints receivers, are close vessels ;
the two latter communicate with the still alone, by means of a
forcing pump through the measuring charger, already described.
and the ball cocks mentioned in our former report are still
made use of: but we see no necessity for the cast iron covers,
which would impose on the distiller an unnecessary expence.
The spirits receiver is connected with the spirit measurer by
a forcing pump, permanently secured (as is also the measurer
itself) to the top of the receiver by bolts and screws fastened on
the inside.; No spirits can be taken out, except through this
measure, which is filled and emptied by a cock or cocks, simi-
lar to those already described as attached to the wash charger.
The number of gallons of finished spirits taken out of the re-
ceiver is thus accurately recorded.
In this spirit measure is placed a small close vessel, of tinned
copper, which is so connected with the cocks for filling and
emptying the measure,that a small sample (about 1-00th of a
gallon) of each measure of spirits is drawn off, and- retained in
this vessel. A pipe, terminated by a cock, passes from this
copper sample vessel through the bottom of the measurer into a
locked up metal box. By this contrivance, the superior officers
of Excise may, at the end of every month, three months, or any
other period that may be considered proper, ascertain the average
strengths at which the distiller has drawn off his spirits, and sur-
charge him accordingly for any excess.
Here the new system of measuring ends; the spirits, after
being taken out of the receiver, are at the distiller's disposal,
subject, however, as is every part of the distillery process, to the
same mode of survey and account as at present in use in the
Excise.

The still, the three receivers, and the measuring vessels, are
provided with man-holes, for the double purpose of securing
the different fastenings on the inside, and of affording the supe-
rior officers of Excise an opportunity of oecasionally examining
the interior of these vessels, by which any surreptitious pipe or
perforation would be at once detected ; and we would also re-
commend, for the purpose of facilitating such examination, that
these receivers should be over ground, and fully exposed to ex-
ternal inspection. These man-holes may be effectually secured
by locks and seals, and the keys and stamps not entrusted, as in
the ordinary in7de of survey, to the officers in charge of the dis-
tillery,but deposited with the chief officer of the district,or if nc-
cessary,with the Board in Dublin. Theonly one of these man-holes
which it may be necessary to open for the distiller's convenience, is
that of the still ; and if that utensil be provided with scrapers for
cleansing the inside, this necessity will be of very rare occur-
rence. To prevent the possibility of any abuse, it may, how-
ever, be required, that the distiller should give formal notice to
the chief officer of the district Whenever he wishes to have this
man-hole opened, and the lock of it, as indeed each of the other
locks, may be so constructed as to record the number of times
it has been opened. ,
IVe have in the foregoing details described the apparatus
used by us during the course of six weeks experiment, with' a
500 gallon still at Carrickfergus ; but the whole will be better
understood, by referring to the drawings of the several parts of
the apparatus, which are now preparing.
It may be proper to observe here, that those drawings refer
to those apparatus actually used by us at Carrickfergus, but that
other devices, founded on the same principles, equally effective,
and perhaps simpler in their construction, may be substituted
for some parts of this apparatus. • Thus, for instance, instead
of the three-way cock at the tail of the worm, a small copper
box, with three valves, may be used for directing the steam
into the spiriti, singlings and feints receivers respectively, and
instead of thehydrometer described in our report of the 6th Jan.
the distiller may affix to the worm a glass jar, containing a ther-
mometer and a few glass beads of different weights and colours, t
which would be quite sufficient to regulate his work. All the
revenue can require on this point is, that the run from the worm
shall be placed out of the distiller's reach, • anti provided
that object be attained, he should not be precluded from adopt-
ing any contrivance he may think proper for seeing the liquor
as it run* We consider it the more necessary to make this ob-
servation, because a serious accident did in fact happen to the
still. during our experiment, in consequence of Mr. Poitinger's
hydronieter having got out of order, and this occurrence may
possibly be stated by some distillers as an objection to the pro-
posed system. This accident was, however, caused by imper-
fect workmanship, and at all events the glass beads are not
liable to any such fatality. Upon the whole we consider the
checks in every respect complete, and have no hesitation in stat-
ing, that the entire revenue can be secured by them, 'under a
slow process of distillation, and where licensed or entered uter
sils only are made use of.
It may be said; that on the supposition of the Utter ,

pare of this ine!tiuring syatere being iserfeet., all the previous'
Measurements and checks were iiiinece:isary ; and we do admit,
that it is our opinion, unless unentered utensils be made use of,
the Revenue may be effectually secured by the measurement of.
the spirits alone. But until the efficaeY of the new system shall
be proved by experience, to the satisfaction of the most timid,
we are unwilling to dispense with the additional checks in the
previous stages of the process ; and we think besides; that a strict
eye should at all times be kept over' the stock of waftli in a
hcenced distillery, as otherwise, wash might be prepared therein
to be afterwards distilled elsewhere, with unlicensed apparatus.
We therefore propose to retain so much of our present systein
of account, as makes the distiller liable to duty on his wash, at
the rate of ten gallons per centum.
Withrespe.ct to the measuring charged for singlings and
feints, we lay but little stress on the check afforded by it, where
the distiller uses the same still for wash and low wines, because,
from the nature of the process, a portion of the produce of each
charge of low wines pass more than once through the still,
and will therefore be more than once measured and recorded
but should it ever be deemed advisable to compel the distiller
to keep a still exclusively for working his singings and feints,
the low wine measuring charger, with a sample Vessel within it,
would then become as active as the spirit measurer itself.
In stating our opinion so decidedly in favour of -the appara-
tus we have been describing, we do not mean to say, that even
this apparatus can secure the revenue; if adventurers, without
capital or respectability, are allowed licences to can), on the
trade of making whiskey ; as such persons, - although sure of
being detected, would resort to the Most desperate expedients
to evade the duties. Some line should therefore be drawn, and
the following is our view of the subject :
ea
According to the present law, the smallest still that can be
worked is one of 44 gallons content, which will require a head
of at least four gallons, making in all 48 gallons. This still, if
worked with restricted utensils, is liable to a charge of one
thousand five hundred and twelve gallons of spirits ; and if
worked with unrestricted utensils to three thousand three hun-
dred and sixty gallons per month. Now we conceive that the
Government will yield as much as can be reasonably expected
ttithe wishes of those persons who are advocates for small stills
by consenting to grant licences to distillers who will under-
take, and give moderate security to make, with unlimited ap-
paratus, about one third of the latter quantity, say twelvehun.
Bred gallons per- month, while his distillery rentinued at work,
And that it should be worked at least six months in the sear.—
No smaller quantity of spirits than lie could make in that
time would afford a moderate profit to any respectable
dual ; and we are of opinion, that persons should not be ale
lowed to trifle with the revenue by obtaining licences to distil, un-
less they intended to'follow the trade as a bona fide profession
from which they made their livelihood. • We have ascertained,
that exclusive of the building, the cost of which must vary from
local circumstances, the whole expellee of fitting up a distillery
with the entire utensils and apparatus capable of making the
quantity of spirits we 'propose; would not cost 5001. being about
the one half of what the chimney alone of a five hundred gallon
still working under the present system would cost.
The long agitated question about licensing stills might thus
be readily disposed; for we see no reason whatever for prohibit-
ing a distiller from using a still of any size he may think pro'.
per, under the system now in our contemplation, and we
conceive that it might be left to his own Option to make the
quantity of spirits which lie had engaged for in a forty or a
four hundred gallon still. • -
The advantages which would result both to the revenue and
the manufacturer, from the adoption of the system of working,
are numerous. The rapid distillation at present required by
law in Ireland has nothing to recommend it, but its being sup-
posed to 'secure the revenue better than any mode of survey
heretofore devised, and its disadvantages are such as to makie it
very questionable, whether it ought not to be abandoned,
even at the risk of some loss of revenue. It causes, in the
first place, an enormous waste of fuel ; and, incredible as the
fact may appear, our experiments have fully shewn us, that
one-eighth part of the fuel consumed in working a still in Ire-
land under the presei • rapid system, would be sufficient to distil
the same quantity of spirits by a slow process.
In the next place, this rapid distillation causes a very serious
waste of the spirit which might be extracted from the wash, if
distilled at leisure; a distiller working a still of 750 gallons
content, is liable to a duty of nearly twenty pounds per hour.
He cannot afford the time necessary to distil all valuable matter
off his wash ; and when the run from his worm becomes weak,
he finds that the whole value of what is running is not nearly
equal to the sum. he must pay during the time his still would be
employed in extracting and re-distilling it into spirits ; he is
therefore, in his own defence' compelled to throw away this part
of what his wash might produce ; and the loss thus sustained
may be moderately estimated at eight per =turn wash menu-
factured in Ireland..
A third source of waste is that branch of our rapid system
which compels the distiller to work off his wash within six days
of the date of brewing, thus allowing him but four clear days
fur fermenting it, no matter what may be the circumstances of
weather, yeast, &c. The extent of the loss thus sustained can..
not besialculatedietith nitich accuracy: but since idea may-be
formed of it, from the fact, that it is no uncommon circum-
stance for the Irish distiller to put his wash into the still at the
gravity of from 101bs. to 171bs. per Dicas's saccharorneter
thereby losing two or three gallons of the spirits which ought
to be produced from each hundred gallons of wash.

Soap forms a large item of the Irish distiller's expenditure,
as he cannot work off his still with the necessary rapidity with-
out it. About a ton weight of this disgusting article is put into
a still of 300 gallons content every month, and greatly injures
the flavour of the spirits.
The expence of labour in a distillery worked in the rapid
way, is beyond comparison greater than under a slow process.
Two men would be sufficient to attend a still constantly work-
ing under the latter; while ten, or at least eight, are indispen-
sably necessary under the former.
The expence of erecting a diitillery, under the system we are
now recommending, would be less (includintall the apparatus
we have described for securing the duty), than that of erecting
one, of equal extent, to be worked under the rapid system.—
Some expence will, however, be incurred in adapting the works
of the distilleries now existing to the new apparatus, but this
expence would, in all cases, be covered in a very short period,
by the saving of fuel.
The advantages which the revenue would derive from this
change of system, appeared to us not less striking than those
resulting to the manufacture itself. It is generally admitted,
and we are of opinion, that at least one-fiftn part of the spirits
made in the licensed distilleries in Ireland, evades the duty.
Assuming this to be the fact, the duty actually paid to the Ex-
chequer by the licensed distillers, is but 4s. Vid., instead of
ss. l liEd. per gallon of spirits made by them and if a system '
of collection were adopted, by which the Excise obtained an re-
count of all the spirits made by these distillers, a duty of four shil.
lings and mnepence halfpenny per gal. would produce, at least,
as great a revenue as is now produced by a duty of five shillings
and eleven-pence halfpenny, while the distiller would derive a
great advantage from a reduction of duty. He would also, under
the proposed system, be able to manufacture his spirits at a
shilling pc r gallon cheaper than he does at present, and, from the
superiority of their quality, would receive a better price. These
advantages,. without at all diminishing the revenue, would most
materially aid the legal trader in contending with illicit distil-
lation the increasing prevalence of which has become truly
alarming, since the repeal of the townland fining laws

During our experiments, we made three brewings of strong
wash, which, on distilling, w.! found to yield a coarse ill4la-
voured spirit, whilst all tba: was made from weak or diluted
wash was of very superior quality ; ample details of the diffe-
rent species of brewing, fermentation, produce, &c. have been
recorded by NI r. Coffey, (who attended to see part of the pro-
cess during the entire experiments) which will be laid before
the Beard in a future Report, accompanied by such further in-
formation as shall be derived from Mr. Thompson's recent
offer to work his distillery for two months, subject to the
checks and controul of the apparatus before described,
and placing his concerns, and every part of his process,
under the immediate care of officers constantly stationed in
his works, and submitting his books of every description to
their inspection. We have, however, already ascertained, to our
own entire satisfaction, that it would require wash of 591bs
gravity, by Dices's saccharometer, when attenuated to about 31b.
which we consider better than the average of a distiller's fer-
mentation for a season in Ireland, to produce 10 per centum of
spirits, 24 per cent over proof, or that every 100 gallons of wash
will produce one llon of spirits of that strength, for every
A-6-lOths lbs. per Picas's, of fermentable matter appearing to
be attenuated.

This proposition we found to hold good, with very little van-
tion, iu wash of every gravity which we tried, and our experi-
ments on this point have been made with such czre, and were
checked in such a variety of ways, that their accuracy may be
implicitly relied on, and we find them also corroborated by
the provision of the /a* passed last year, for regulating the
gravity of worts in the Scotch distilleries. We, therefore,
cannot avoid expressing our surprise at the very erro-
neous
calculations on this subject, which are contained in the
bills for the regulation of the Irish distilleries, introduced into
the House of Commons last year. In these bills it• is proposed
to charge the Irish distiller (working under all the wasteful
disadvantages of rapid distillation and fermentation) with 12
per cent. of spirits '24 per cent. over proof, from wash of the
original gravity of 66 lbs. by Allen's saccharometer, while the
bill for regulating the Scotch distiller's trade, which was at the
same moment passing through the House, allowed him wash Of
about 75 lbs. gravity, to produce the same quantity, of kOrit
nnder a slow promo of distillation, and with an unlimited time
for fermenting. We feel no h‘..4:-atica..in.statiug, that th! Irish
