" Treasury Chambers, Dec. 5, 1821.
" Gmorrums—l am commanded by the Lords Commi.sioners
of his Majesty's Treasury to transmit to you, for your informa-
tion, the copy of a letter which their Lordships have directed to
be written to the Board of Excise, on the subject of the practice
which prevails of charging duty on Glass Bottles found in Dress-
ing-cases and Medicine-chests of travellers arriving from the Con.
tinent, although the glass is of British manufacture; and I am
to desire you will instruct your (Meets accordingly.
(Signed) " S. R. LUSIIINGTON.
" To the Commissioners of Customs."

BEER vitasas BREAD.

Tura—" Bow, wow, wow."
Then CALVERT, who, of course, opposes all unfair monopolies,
Steps forth to regulate the sale of Bread in the rnetropoliq.
4, The poor," he says, " shall never have their quartern loaf too

dear, Sir,
" If they mill only kohl their tongues about the rarer of Beer, Sir !"

" Bow, wow, wow."

A Correspondent suggests that a repeal of the
Assessed Taxes, which are universally held to be
extremely oppressive, would yield a relief to every
class of the community a thousand times more bene-
ficial than anything that can result from -the mainte-
nance of the Sinking Fund, by continuing to levy
them at a time of such general distress.
A Petition to Parliament for a Free Trade in Beer
has been numerously signed by the Landowners in
the vicinity of Reading and Maidenhead, Berks.
Farther accounts of a disagreeable nature have
again been received from Suffolk. Numerous failures
amongst the Farmers are announced, and their dis-
tress is increased by the nightly burning and destruc-
tion of their property. One day last week, the maiL
coach in passing down the County observed 17 fires.
We deeply lament the continuance of that dread-
ful practice of burning farmers' property, which we
fear this county must bear the disgrace of having
given birth to six years ago, and which, since that
period, has at intervals been resumed. The state of
the County has become so alarming, that the LORD
LIEUTENANT has found it necessary to appoint a
General Meeting of the Magistracy, for the purpose
of adopting decisive measures for the preset vation of
property and the punishment of offenders. It has
been absurdly supposed, that the frequency of these
Ifires is to be traced to a conspiracy, or organized
plan; whereas it is impossible to disguise the truth,
as manifested by nearly all the trials at our late As-
sizes, that want of employment has been the incen-
tive to malignant feelings, and that these have been
gratified by the destruction of their property who
most have reason to lament their inability to employ
the poor. In saying. this, however, we must guard
ourselves from any imputation of desiring to suc-
cumb or concede to the wicked. The utmost rigour
must be exerted for their punishment ; though we
cannot but feel the necessity expressed by the Ma-
gistrates in 1816, 44 of relieving, as tar as circum-
stances will permit, the present distresses of the la-
bouring poor."—Bury Post.
A considerable alarm took place on Saturday at
Ipswich, about two o'clock, as the Corn-market was
holding, by an express arriving from Copdock, that
New all, occupied by Mrs. SYtlts was on fire. Two
engines were immediately dispatched, and we under-
stand that the progress of the flames via: stopped,
after a shed and stable had been destroyed.—Mid.
