MONOPOLY OF BREW ERS.

The same motive which induced us to insert the
letter on Wednesday in vindication of Mr.
BARBER BEAUMONT, in answer to the privileged
attacks of Mr. CALVERT on that Gentleman,
ducesiis also to insert the-following Petition, in
which he aa►isfacturily auswets for himself, acid
displays such public spit it as well entitles him
to the respect of the People in general :

TO THE HONOURABLE THE CONINIoNS OF THE UNITED

KINGDOM 01.' GREAT BRITAIN AND IRELAND IN

PARLI AMENT ASSEMBLED.

The Humble PETITION of JOHN THOMAS BARBER BEAU-
MONT, Eq.
SHEWETII—Thnt your petitioner feels himself greatly ag-
grieved by the imputations cast on his motives for the part
which he, with others, has taken in petitioning agai'nst the
existing system of arbitrary licensiny„ which imputations in
effect describe him "tobe •a disappointed Magistrate, who
had come into the. commission to forward .his•own interest,
and who wished to become a popular candidate, 'and be re-
turned on the shoulders of the for the part he had
takerr." • •

. . . . . -
'Your Petitioner denies the troth of these .assertions. He
has never sought or received any advantage to himself from
his ottiee of Magistrate, or mixed himself' in any party, job,
or intrigue, by which he might directly or• inditeetly.forward
his own interest. Your Petitioner• ad in its, that he is the
ground landlord .of about UM new houses at the east andwest
ends of the Metropolis-; that his freehold land-at Stepney is
-marked out' for streets, whirl; may contain several hundred
houses, among-which manyipublie houses might properly he
- opened, and for which, were he to corinect!himselP with the
licensing interest; he • might obtans. licences, whieh, unlit,.
else , pte.scpt 061 cm.; ► ould be worth .one. thousand pounds
each. But your Petitioner has not courted that interest; he
hat opposed it, together with the. arliitrary licensing system,
from the first hour in which,he was qualified as a Justice of
the-Peace, and previous thereto, in confirmation of whirls,
he humbly begs leave to refer to-his evidence before the Po-
lice. Committee, and to the opioion- thereon expressed by the
Committee in their Report. • ' - • •
Your petitioner denies that be has either the ambition or
the desire to become a popidar candidate, nor does he court
or ratite popularity, viewing, as he does, the sinister designs
;led hollow in etences upon which popnlarity is won, but he
repreents to your Etanosrable House a very serious griev-
lanes., affecting the sustenance of the Public generalfy—the
interest of the industrious poor, mote particularly—the mo-
rals-of the country—the' patoral rights of ' the subjectand
the protection of property, of which grievance he has an in-
timate.knowledge, and tfietefore, wilis 14,000 others, many
of them Magistrates and Gelitlemen 'of fortune, he has peti-
tioned for redress.
..
Your Petitioner humbly hopes, that,if the assertions above
allotted to have made any impressions to the disadvantage of
Your Petitioner, that your Honourable House will direct a
strict examination into your Petitioner's motives and acts to
be instituted, or malie order fir your Petitioner to attend the
Committee-of your Honourabh House directed to investigate
the subject of Licensing; and ;Is° to give your Petitioner
such other relief as -your Honourable House tiny think best'
suited to Isis case.

Your Petitioner will ever pray,
.1. T. MkRBER BEAUMONT.

When of the heart LOrE takes possession;
How pleasi►►g is his infant sigh !
Each feature spews the fond impression;

The glowing cheek and speaking eye
He comec, attended bY each pleasure;
The blooming, artless seeming !My—
Then cries—take, take your darling tr'easu're;
Take her, and with her every j,iy.

But ah: ere long, a grange confusion
Disturbs our quiet and repose ;
Ere long is lust the dear dehisitiri,
And soon a Thorn deforms the Rose.
The day must sooner come, or later,
When lie will drop the mask lie wears—
And then he smiles, the little traitor,
To see us struggling it his snares.

ON THE FORCED VENTILA'hON OF COVENT-
GARDEN THEATIiE.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

Ats,—ln November last, through the medium of your
Paper, I requested the'attention of-scientific and medical (ien-
tiurnen. to the forced Ventilation of Covent-garden Theatre.
It has been a subject of regret to me, that although' the Ven-
tilation has been generally approved, and, comparatively with
other Theatres, sensibly felt, various causes, which until
now have not been under my controul, have hitherto par
tially counteracted it beneficial effects.
It is not my wish to attach blame to any individual, as all
obstacle's have at length been removed. From Monday next
the Ventilation will be such as I originally intended it, and
such as it would have been from the beginning of the season
but for the opoosi.ion.l have had to encounter.
Air is the first source of life—on the purity of that which
we breathe deptnds our health and enjoyment, and its im-
purity in theatres, cr.iwiled assemblies, but rooms, and to a
certain degree in our close sleeping apartments, is a first
cause of many of the disorders which hasten our end. I offer
this consideration to the sanction of all learned and medical
Cent lemen, and at the same time I trust that the effects of
the Forced Ventilation of Covent-garden Theatre, .as now
completed, will not be witnessed without interest by any
class of the putilic.-
I have the honour to be Sir, your's, &c.

PARISH Area ENT;CES late decision of the
Magistrates of Deven, respecting the indentures
of Parish Apprentices, cannot, be too generally
published. It is 'known that when a parish binds
oat an apprentice upon A, though it gives a pre-
mium with such apprentice, no stamp is necessary
to make the indenture valid ; —but if A. transter
such an.apprentice to B. with any premium what-
ever, this second indenture must be drawn on a
20s. stamp, or the binding will be fraudulent, as
it respects the stamp duty, and of no -validity as
an indenture; the apprentice will not gain a set-
tlement under it, btit will revert to the first mas-
ter, the sante as it no such assignment had ever
been made.—( Birmingham Chronicle.)
A letter has been received front Adkins, the
