MEETING OF MALTSTERS.

. .
On -Monday a meeting of maltsters, brewers, and
others concerned hi the'malt trade, was held at the
Corn Exchange Coifee-house, for the purpose of
taking into consideration the propriety of memo-
rialising the Lords of the Treasury to suspend cer-
tain clauses of the Act passed • the last Session, for
consolidating and amending the laws relative to the.
excise on malt, which hail proved highly detrimental
to the malting business and to the commerce in that
'article.

CRISP BROWN, Esq., of Norwich, took the chair.
He stated at great length many evils which resulted
to the malting business throughout the kingdom,
from the Legislature having taken upon itself to re-
gulate the mode of carrying it on, and to establish
one fixed process for all varieties of the article,
whatever was the kind otbarley used or malt want-
ed, and for all persons or places, however differently
they were-circumstanced, He had received letters
from all parts of the kingdom, complaining of the
inconvenience and loss sustained, the injury done to
the commodity, and the constant penalties that ne-
cessarily must be incurred by malting according to
the process laid down hi the new Act. In fact,
business ,was suspended' by it entirely in some dis-
tricts. One. provision of the new Act was likely to
have produced the most extensive oppression. It
was one requiring that the Malt should he made, in
vessels of a size and construction determined by. the
Act. By this clause considerable property through-
out the kingdom was destroyed, and the maltster
was compelled to construct new apparatus., But he
had the pleasure to announce that this oppressive
enactment would not be enforced. A Treasury Or-
der hadheen made to suspend the operation of this
clause with respect to all apparatus constructed be-
fore the passing of the Act. Lord Goderich has
expre.sed his readiness to confer with a deputation
of the trade on the morrow (this day), and he (the
Chairman) now suggested to the Meeting the pro-
priety of considering the chief.points of griewknee to
which the deputation whom. they might appoint
should address themselves in the course of their in-
terview.

Mr. W. Fortoof.Nine Elms, Surrey, then opened
141,-144ng discussion on the details of the Act,
1 were *unanimously treated as in the highest
degressinjurious to the trade.
Sevend disputes arose in the course of the discus-
sion, as to what Several of the clauses in the Act
I meant. -

- Mr. HERUPATH, of Bristol, said there were three
systems of malting, which essentially differed; one
was carried on in Hertfordshire, another in Devon
and Cornwall; and that which he, as a chymist,
thought the best, was carried on at Bristol. The
LegiSlature had thought the Hertfordshire -SyStem
the best, and had fixed upon it to the exclusion or
extreme injury of the one carried on in his neigh-
bourhood, which was subjected to,extretile burdezis.
A more futile piece of legislation he had never
heard of.

Mr. CRAVEN, of Wakefield, condeMned the clause
which declared that the rooms entered at the Ex-
cise-office for the reception of malt, should be used
for that purpose only, as extremely ridiculous and
oppressive. • It tended to diminish the convenience.
and the value of their property, without any purpose.
If persons wished to deposit any malt in a public
warehouse, or at a wharf, the room where it was de-
posited must be entered at the Excise-office, and
such room must be used for no other purpose.
Warehousemen would not receive malt upon these
terms, and few would admit the unnecessary intru-
sion of an Exeise7officer upon their premises.

Mr. CHARLES BARCLAY, the brewer, said the fact
was, it had been a practice to bring on this descrip-
tion of Acts before Parliament the last thing in the
Session, when there was no time to prepare or to
investigate them. This Act was brought forward
on the 2d of July, when there was scarcely time to
send it off by express to any part of the country, or
obtain an opinion upon it. However, he believed
that Mr. Herries and Lord -Goderich were strongly
disposed to make every alteration, and give every
accommodation to meet the,wishes of the fair trader,
consistent with the protection of the revenue, which
had been enormously defrauded. Mr. Barclay con-
cluded by making various suggestions as to the
course to be pursued ; and after some further obser-
vations from Mr. Martineau, Mr. E. R. Buchanan of
Suffolk, Mr. Mocock, and others, the Meeting
adopted a set of propositions made by Mr. Ford,
and contained in resolutions which were ordered to
be advertised. A deputation was appointed to wait
upon the Lords of the Traasurf with them, and to
state grounds for their support. Thanks were voted
to the Chairman, when the meeting separated.

The change which has taken place within the
last 50 years in the character of the Londoil
tradesman, has been so great, that those who read
of the inflexible integrity" of the shopkeeper of
the former half century, carrtraCe no more resern ,
blance morally between him and the shopkeeper
of the present day, than exists physically between
the' old Roman and the degenerate native of
Italy- who periodically visits this country and
:shocks' us by the contrast. In. the former day;

The Competition with whielijlie had to strugglk

he is so beset by affluent ktsives, a
rupted by the examples of deception awl base,

longer considers it is duty td reject the abundan
opportunities of immoving his circumstances, and
he soon rivals the most experienced in the-va-
rious stratagems which are resorted to for victory
in this abandoned warfare. The system which
we have reprobated is infinitely more extensive
than" is generally , imagined. It has extended
itself through all the towns in England ; and
wherever it has appeared, ruin has accompanied
its steps. A fellow who has perhaps failed thr4e
or four times, starts up into business suddenlf,
and'with more boldness 'and probability of suc-
cess thin before his character was known. He
,
takes upon himself the title of agent, and he es-
tablishes a connexion with necessitous and un-
principled men- in Yorkshire arid Lancashire.----
The business of those agents is to procure an
immediate ready-money sale for goods whiCh
have been obtained from the manufacturer upOn
credit. The goods must not *go . to Leeds or
Manchester, because if offered for sale there,
the conspiracy would be discovered ; the manu-
facturer would soon see that he could have but
little chance of his money when his goods were
offered for two-thirds of the amount of the bills
which he has just received in payment. Up to
London they are therefore sent, and into the
hands of the agent they fall. One of the large
establishments for receiving gets the hint, and the
agent is enabled to transmit the " ready," amount-,
ing to 30 or 40 per cent. under prime cost, to
his correspondent, after a proportionate deduc-
tion ,for commission. There are several Jew
merchants, who are always on the look
,out for
Yorkshire and Lancashire " swag" amongst the
agents. Those are to be seen lurking about the
neighbourhood of the commissioned, who just
hold up their finger when business is to be done,
and the purchase is completed, the immediate ex-
change for cash being a sine qua non in those
destructive bargains. It has been a common say-
ing with reference to the class of persons who arc
united in cheating or undermining the honest
dealer, that if a. man can contrive to be a bank-

ttine-his made. It bas,-however, been found less
dangerous, and 'as effectual, for him to increase
his sum of bankruptcies, and leave the capital
offence unattempted. For this experiment the
paper system affords him facilities. No sooner
is he down, than he rises by virtue of a few five
shilling stamps, and adds new victims to the list
of those whose. ruin he has already accomplished.
And vet so powerful is the influence of a reputa-
tion for a thriving business, so unfailing the re-
copendation which money, whether the pro-
duee of indUstry or rapine, holds forth, there are
to be found men of character, who although they
revolt at the practices which we have exposed,
still take by the hand the very persons who are
so deeply interested and engaged in the subver-
sion of the principles of trade. The partners in
the large houses, which have derived their un-
wieldly independence from the formation and sup-
port of conspiracies against the fair trader, are
not scouted from society. They express as
much regret and indignation at the escape of
their unfortunate rival Ikey Solomons, as the
greatest advocates for a rigorous morality could
feel; and they prosecute with wrath proportioned
to their own crimes, the dishonesty of a servant
whom their example has contaminated. We have
heard-the principal partner in one of the most
respectable and opulent firms in London declare,
that there is one man residing in the neighbour-
hood of Newgate, (why is he not in Newgate?)
Who has broken more honest men's hearts than

What can be said of those persons in elevated
stations who, with their eyes open to the mon-
strous abuses which exist in every populous street
in the metropolis, lend their sanction to the ruin
so deliberately eontemplated and so irretrievable.
A noble Marquis, who has received a vast addi-
tion to his fortune within these few years, is no-
torious for giiing. countenance to all manner of
commercial abominations. He "sticks it into,"
as his tradespeople say, those who give credit ;
he extends that credit to years ; he employs an
under-strapper, who has been occupied in the
most dishonourable offices on the continent, to
palaver those who have old and heavy de-
mands upon him, while he runs round the
whole trade with his ready money, and

it is a crime to purchase. It is impossible ade-
quately to describe the mischief arising from
another species of plunder, which is committed
by the very same persons, who so richly deserve
the castigation of the rope for promoting rob-
bery—we mean the pirating of patterns. A fair
dealer goes to considerable expense in prodUcing
tasteful patterns Of prints, enriched with bril-
liant and durable colours. The pirate gets hold
of a piece, and at less than one-half of the ex-
pense, strikes off a copy, so closely resembling
the original, as to deceive the eye of the com-
mon observer. A master will, however, at once
detect the imposture, in the blots and awkward
execution and general inferiority of the article:

of about 30 or 40 per cent. below the reasonable
estimate. About three years ago a trick of this
sort was played off by a man who has the repu-
tation of being very wealthy, at the west end of
the town. Although engaged In

A reputable house struck off seven or eight vet);
beautiful patterns of Persian . chintzes, and put
forth for sale 180 pieces of each pattern. Im-
mediately after .the first order was executed, out

had intrusted to him. She was satisfied of the
superiority of the piece last exhibited, and pur-
chased accordingly, and in her way home she

late that the new States shall, during 12 years,
pay to Spain 12,000,000 of francs, and 500,000
dollars in perpetuity ; that out of these annual
12,000,000, the sums due to England and
France shall be paid ; and, filially, that the
united forces of the two guaranteeing Cabinets
shall protect either of the two powers of the
Peninsula which may be attacked by the other.
After the exchange of the ratification of this con•
vention by the Americans, the French and Eng-
lish troops are to evacuate Spain and Portugal.
P.S. The following facts corroborate the
reports of the dissolution of the Chamber of
Deputies. Several Prefects have received no-
tices from the Ministers to make preparations,
in the event of a new electoral contest. A First
President of a Royal Court (that of Caen), who
was at first pressed to repair to his post, has since
been desired to stop at Lyons, where he resides,
and make arrangements for his re-election. A
Minister of State (M. de St. Cricq), who has
lately purchased some fine estates in Lower Nor.
mandy, has obtained the place of Mayor of his
village, which, without doubt, indicates his hi-
, tention to become a candidate.

pAit I S , OCT. B.—To-morrow the King re-
turns to town, where the Court will be stationer~
for the winter. The conjectures of those why,
form their judgments on recollections of the past,
and who have been accustomed to regard the
journies of the Court to Compiegne and Fon-
tainbleau as creating epochs necessarily critical
for Ministers, have not been realized : there is no
fbundation for the reports which have prevailed
in some circles here, and also abroad, that M. de
Clermont Tonnerre is to be succeeded in the War
Department by the Baron de Dame.% and that
Baron Pasquier is to be the Minister for Foreign
Affairs. The latter has declared himself too
decidedly against the present Administration to
admit the supposition that he could form a part
of it, were even some modifications of its system,
and some changes in its constitution, to take
place.
We will keep our present Ministers, then ;
but shall we also keep our present Chamber of
Deputies ? This is a question of more difficult
solution. However valuable that Chamber may
be in consequence of what it has cost the -Mi-
nisters in favours, intrigues, and promises, the
discredit into which it has fallen is too great.
The partisans of the priests and the Jesuits are
the only persons who wish it to be preserved ;
they are devoted to a body which has been made
septennial under their influence, which voted the
indemnity, the law of primogeniture, and the law
of sacrilege, and they are afraid the means which
we're so scandalously employed in 1824 may not
succeed again on a new election. They expect
that the Chamber, which they call the introwv.
able Chamber retrowde, will have sufficient com-
plaisance to adopt a third modifying law, which
shall change, for example, the direct election
into an indirect election, and, leaving to the ar-
rondissement colleges only
,the right of presenta-
tion, shall vest the choice in the departmental
colleges.
To secure a majority in the Chamber of Peers
the priest party wishes to give seats to all the
Bishops, on the sole ground of the dignity of
their office. This party is very powerful ; it com-
poses or governs our Camarilla.
The President of the Council and several of
his colleagues perceive with much uneasiness the
possibility of such a plan being dictated to them.
What may we conclude the Clergy would do on
being rendered all-powerful, if we may judge of
the use which they already make of the influence
which has been conceded to them ? But, con-
sidering that in the course of one year the lists
of electors will be more correctly made up, and
the new law on the jury better understood—that
the generation born in 1797, which did not wit-
ness the horrors committed in the name of
liberty, will enter the Colleges imbued with prin-
ciples entirely liberal,—that at least eighty De-
puties appear determined to resign at the end of
the present Session, not choosing to hold for
seven years a power which had been conferred
upon them with the chance of their retaining it
only five,—that the elections of 1828 would
come on after a warm Session, and when the
press would be free for several months from the
censorship, the Ministers think it would be bet-
ter not to defer a measure which must inevi-
tably be resorted to one year hence ; and that it
is more prudent to risk without further delay
the consequences of a general election.
They found their hope of obtaining a sufficient
majority on the examination which has been
made of the present electoral lists. It is said,
-ass. ,-,f Q,LL ,lcinixtmental colleges, tilers' are 54 in
which the 1 misters will gave a majoi;cy, anti
they think that it is not impossible to obtain a
still greater number of returns favourable to their
views from the arrondissement colleges. Are
these calculations sound ? There is reason to
doubt their accuracy, when, on the one hand, it
is known that out of 12 Deputies for the depart-
ment of the North, only four appear to have the
chance of being re-elected ; and that in the de-
partment of the Gironde there is little probabi-
lity that any of the Deputies, with the exception
of M. Gauthier, and perhaps M. Ravez, will
have any votes in their favour. I have taken
these two terms of comparison in the most in-1
fiuential departments of the North and the South,
my data asserting.
The counter opposition is exerting all its in-
fluence to force on a dissolution. In fact, the
chance of obtaining returns favourable to that
party is greater now than it will be next year,
when the Liberal ascendancy will be more de-
cided in the colleges. If any consideration can
induce the Ministers to hesitate for the enemies
they have most to fear, their most formidable
competitors are in the ranks of this counter or
Royalist opposition.
Suppose the present Chamber dissolved, it
will still be necessary to secure a more certain
majority in the hereditary Chamber. Will the
number of the Peers be increased ? The ex-
amples of such a proceeding are not encouraging,
and the members of the old peerages threaten a
defection, if batches made after the manner of
your Queen Anne and of the Duke de Cates,
shall degrade the peerage. On the other hand,
promises of peerages have been profusely scat-
tered about in the Chamber of Deputies. Are
these promises to be disregarded, and the holders
of such bonds to be treated as were the Peers IRON TRADE.—The iron trade is in rather
