THE AIAI4I iBADE.

After valiolis conferences tbe Chancellor of the Ex.
chequer has at length definitively acquiesced in the pro-
posal f the Committee tor the Protection of the Malt
Tirade, which proposal was, that three of the principal
officers of the Eicisi uld be allowed to meet three
of the Maltsteis' Committee, to discuss the points at
issue in the existing 8011, and to report their united
' opinions to the Chancellor of the Exchequer as cart), AS
the atute •of the tine will admit. The Chancellor has
consented, with the qUalification that he shall not consider
hiniself bound to act upon the report which the referees
might make, since any change must be determined with
reference to other branches of the revenue anditigher in-
terests than those involved in this particular' branch
of trade. The entltsteis'eale elected, as their ietctees,
Crisp Brown, Esq. of Norwich; Witham Ford. E.g. of
Nine Etritii Londori ; and W. flerepa h, Esq. of Bris-
tol, F.R.S. Up to yesterday, no. arstibitornent of
reierees had been made by the Chancellor of the Ex-
chequer on behalf of his Majesty's Government,•and it
WAS intimated that some days might, claw before
persobs were "selected." This Mode of proceeding is
considered . one of 'great novelty, which may f..rrn a
precedentfor the sittlement of other. trades subject t 6
the revalue. It was proposed, in consequence of iti
having been found imprieticAle to obtain the atten-
tion of any Mioister for a suffisient length of, time for
him to become acquainted with the teclin.cal details
of the bit...4411,4nd ,consequently with Alio •Ikaring

Deputation • 'after deputation made tepreientationi
of the injury done, not less to the"revenue than to
the trade, by pernicious regulationti which could have
no other effect titan that of breeding delinquency • and
litigation, and heavy law expenses to all patties. Dur-
ing the last Session of Parliament a return of the,..ez•
peoses of prosecutions wacinoved for, and when it was
made, it was found to be; yeplete with such Ileitis as--
