conducted in such a manner as to retied credit on the county.
Mr. W. E. L. Bemire rose to address the meeting. He said
*it as to there being vest distress In the country there could be
no question ; and however gentlemen might differ as to the cause,
be thought that they muse at all events agree that the object which
the requisitionists had M view would be one mode of relieving the
public from the burthens under which they were labouring (bear.)
Mr. Rohrer concluded by moving the following Resolutions :

wages (cheers.) It wag evident, therefore, that by thialdilt rate
of taxation the comforts of the lower classes were abridged; and
while things remained in this state,it was a scandal to the Aristocracy
of the country (cheers.) The seventh Resolution wag of a different
nature again, fur it applied to the vexatious restrictions that the
malt trade experienced. At his request the Chancellor of the Ex-
chequer, in the course of tb!e last Session, acceded to a proposal for
examining into the affair, acceording to a suggestion that was trans-
mitted to him by his friend Mr. Crisp Brown, and procured the ap.
polntment of three experienced excisemen and three exoerit need
masters, as a sort of Commission of inqairy, in order that it might
be ascertained whether these vexatious restrictions were necessary or
unnecessary, in order that those only which were necessary might
be retained. What was the result of this Commission? He him-
*if not being able to atterid, his friend Mr. Portman attended for
him, and the conclusion arrived at was, that the nultsters were
perfectly satisfied with the conduct of Government (hear!). It had
been observed by Mr. nestle, that he wished the Malt Tax to be ex-
tinguished altogether, as otherwise the same army of excisemen
would be kept up for its collection. But let them look at the other
high taxes—the enormous one upon spirits, in particular—and they
would see that there was little hope (while that continued) for the
deCrease of the number of excisemen ; in short, while there was a
high duty there must netiessa rily be a high penalty, and the argument
therefore applied generally to all exciseable commodities, (War,
hear.) There was one material subject connected with this and
every other tax which the Meeting was bound to take into consi.
&ratios. He had, fora long time (and Was never more impressed
with it than now,) beet of opinion that it was childishness arid both
nugatory and delusive, to enter into a consideration of the present
state of the country,either as compared with what it had teen in
put time, or with whet it would probably be in future,vahhout con-
stantly bearing in mioefrits relation to the overwhelming and para-
mount egoestion of the altered value of nosey. In his opinion the
legislature, when they meddled with that question, bad no-adequate
conception of the ingihrtance of the work they were tabing in
hand—(Rar, bear). YHe knew that he held this opinion in oppo-
sition to the Noble uke at the head of his M ijestyis Govern.
lthent ; and he deplore. the circumstance ; but he also knew that
he bad a duty to discfirtage to his country, and he was resolved en
eseceret it . fearleesipsk-Anpleme4malc these eras now demo
when public men of all kinds must not pride themselves on being
able to talk about their consistency; for to all, that wished that,
he would recommend them to borrow a leaf from Lord Gren-
ville, where he said that it was far more for the benefit of
the country for a man to be del to the ready abandooment
of a preconceived error—(Cheers)—sad by an undisguised
avowal of such alt Inn, he best evinced his sense of his
public duty—(Cheers). As be looked at the question, it was a
good rule foe Parliament to tax trade in the time of war, and in
the time of peace to alter the tax to land; and he believed that if
the Parliament of 1315 had not been actuated by the greatest
selfishness, there would then have been a rate levied upon pro•
pay—(Applause). He did not by this mean any inquisitorial sort
of tax, but a general duty upon land, houses, and personal property,
to a certain extent. If this course were now adopted, he bad
no doubt that it would enable the Duke of Wellington and
the Government to persevere in the course already commenced,
and- Gen grant that he might go on rejoicing, and so sink
down to a happy rest; and he was sure that if the plan had been
earlier adopted, there was not one'impost which the people bad
to pay that would not have been lighter than at present.—(Hear.)
He, however, said, that gentlemen appeared to be seised with a
sort of shivering fit at all notion of a property tax ; and be should
therefore content himself with reading some Resolutions st bleb be
bad drawn up, for the sake of recording what his sentiments were,
and that he might stand before them clear.—(Hear.) The follow-
ing were the Resolutions :
" That the state of depression in which every interest through-
out the empire is placed, demands the most serious attention of
the Legislature.
" mat one Treat andrintary object for consideration is the ex-
tent to which the comforts of the poor and Industrious classes of
the people are abridged by the continuance of a high rate of taxa.

"11. That the Duty on Malt is an oppressive !earthen upon all
siteks, more particnkrly upon the cultivators of the soil, by nay-
rowing the market for their staple produce Barley, to an extent
which would hardly be credited, but from the well-known fact
that the consumption K Malt is now considerably less than it wis

Nine persons have been &bed with the plague which lately broke
out le the military hospital ; two of them have died, the seven
others are not thought to be in danger. No symptoms of plague
have appeared among persons not belonging to the army.
Tbr Whole corps of General Count Pahlen had returned from
Romelia, and crossed the Danube at llabanova on the Itti December.
On examination, none of the offices or men appeared to have any
suspicious symptoms; all the baggage andeffects were purified ac-
cording to the method of Guyer* Morveau. This corps consists of
seven regiments of infantry, four of Chaseenrs, four of hussars, and
five companies of artillery. Count Parlor was in quarantine at
Dubasegy on the 19th, and would proceed to thirtieths. of Resale

thageished without doing so much mischief as might have been
apprehended : 7,500 pond. of hay. 1,700 sacks of biscuit, 596 elm-
werts of oats, 550 ehetwerts of groats, &e. were consumed. A
magazine, containing 5,000 gallons of spirits, was cleared in time :
otherwise the consequences might have been fatal.

the price of Malt is enhanced beyond the actual duty. thus bearing`
with double weight upon the consumer, while, to the revenue, the

" 8. That the Repeal of the Duties on Malt would greatli
benefit the consumer generally, but more especially would it relieve
the labouring and industrious classes, by placing within their reach
the means of brewing their own beer, and baking their own bread ;
by the want of which they are itiew driven to the use of ardent
spirits, to the destruction of their health and morals.

A letter from Ismail, of the 13th instant says " We had scarcely
recovered from the alarms caused by the late earthquake, when a
new and dreadful event filled the town with consternation and
affliction. At one o'clock yesterday afternoon the St. Nicholas; a
ship laden from the Turks, which was filled with powder and
other ammunition, blew up with two sailors that were on board ;
four vessels that lay near were destroyd in an instant, and the
fragments thrown to a great distance ; several other vessels were
much damaged. The pieces of timber and iron, and the large
block. of ice that were hoisted through the air by the violence of
the explosion. have done great damage in the town. Two maga-
zines are wholly destroyed. In about fifty wises the roofs, ceil-
ings, and walls, were thrown down ; in 460 there is not a pane of
glass left, and the staves and doors are much injured. The number
of persons who have perished is not yet ascertained; but it known
that 42 were wounded and six killed."
The return of the cold and the ice, driven from the mouth of the
Dnieper, have again aped our port. From the 9th to,tbe 20th,
£8 ship...laden with corn, sailed for foregn ports; and on the 19th
an English ship arrived from liallacz. —Prussian Stare Gas. Jan. 10.

" li. That Petitions to both Houses of Parliament, founded on
the foregoing Resolutions, and praying for the total repeal of the
duties on Malt, be immediately prepared."

Much applause followed the Reading of the Resolutions.
Mr. Pesvis—Being one of the Requisitionists for the calling of
the Meeting, and having had the honour of co.operating with those
Gentlemen, he rose with much pleasure to second the Resolutions
which had been so ably proposed. It would have been quite un-
necessary for hint to say a word, even if Mr. Buiwer had not ad-
dressed the meeting. in order to persuade a body of the people to
petition for the repeal of so heavy a burtben as that of the malt
tae—(Applause). At a meeting of the sixty Magistrates, it bad been
a matter of discussion whether it wuula be better to restrict them-
selves only to the Malt Tax at the present Meeting, or to carry the
question further.' It had there been judged, and, as he thoughts
wisely, that if they wished to afford any prospect of success to
their exertions—if they wished to give the bast chance to the
attainment of their object, they were bound to take care
not to aik too much; and that to ask the Ministers to n•
peal bath the Malt and Beer Tax would be hopeless, as be
did not believe that the Government could spare the produce of
of both these taxes at once. The Ministry, for any thing he knew,
might be anxious to relieve the burthens of the people, but it would
not be any relief to take off one tax, and then to substitute another
equally oppressive in its place—(Applause). They had no reason to
doubt thecae Duke of Wellington and his colleagues were anxious
to economise as far as was in their power—(Applause and a lam);
but to refieve the people as they ought and required to be relieved,
was not the work of a day nor of a year; no, it would be the week
of muck ime and great consideration. A private gentieninns if lw
found tat he was living too fast, bad it I. hie power at any dew to
stop short, and get rid of his horses and his servants; he might alter
his residisce, or he might go on the Continent, and put his estate
toJ nurse., But this was not the case with the Ministers of a
nation; and he threfore repeated, that if the Meeting wished
to attain iti object, they must be careful not to ask too mech..—

peror of Russia. The Turkish negotiators have also returned from
Adrianople, and Sudi Effendi has resumed his functions as Mi-
nister of Finance. The Great Councils, held every week,
and to which an the superior civil and military officers are sum-
moned, excepting the themes, give reason to suppose that the Go-
vernment is seriously engaged with improvements in the internal
administration, especially in the army and finances. The accounts
from the provinces evacuated by the lillsdan troops are very ea-
tiefactort, and show the good effects of the Orman addressed to
Asch Pacha, Governor of Adrianople, which int:anima to the
Christian inhabitants complete amnesty and oblivion of what m-
