IMPORTANT TO IiALTSTras.—A letter, the contents
of which we conceive to be of great importance to the
numerous Maltaten resident in this county, has just
been received by our worthy representative, Mr. •
I
Gooch; who, it is unnecessary for us to say, is alway‘ •
amongst the most forward to promote the interests of
Agriculture in all its branches. Of the letter alluded
to, we have been favoured with the following extrac , •
which we have much pleasure in communicating to
our readers :
" Treasury Chambers, Jan. 4, 1922.
" My DEAR Sia—ln consequence of your's. and other
representations. it has been determined by their Lord-
ships, this morning, to allow the time for soaking the
barley in the process of malting to be shortened, uutil
the Ist of June next, tastier such regulations as way be
deemed necessary for the protection of the revenue. The
rules will probably be the same as those adopted in the
wet season of 1916. The order will go to the Board of
Taxes this night. Ever Toner!
"S. It. LCSRINGTON.
" To T. S. Gooch, Esq., 31.P."—(Bury Gar:. Jan. &.)
Accounts from Holland state, that the Rhine, which
on the 211 of December Ives only eight feet hie h,
rose can the 24th to II feet 3 inches. The Wad rose
between the 22k1 and 24th front 9 feet 9 inches to 13
feet 6 inches.
In the summer of 1791, on the day that the action -
took place between Admiral Parker and the D•ttch
fleet, under Admiral Zoutman, off the Borger Bank,
an old man in Arbroath, who happened t,o be lying
in his garden, affirmed that he heard most distinctly
the firing of the guns ; and by placing his ear on the
ground, he said in the vernacular idiom, he felt the
yird dioule. He called on some of his neighbours,
but they could not be sensible of hearing any sound; •
he, however, continued firm in his assertion, pointing
a southeast direction, and requesting them to nate the
day and hour. for he was certain they would hear of a
sea fight in that direction, and at that time. The spot
where the man lay was about a third of a mile fraut
the shore, and slightly elevated above the level of the
sea, and no other land intervened between Arbroath
and the scene of action, which, when the account of it
arrived, was found to correspond exactly with the time
pointed out by the old man.—(./foetrose ('tiroviele )
Carat LIVING I—At a country public-house, not •
twenty miles from Lewes, a party of neighbours, one
night last week, partook of an excellent plain sapper
(it being Christmas time) consisting of boiled legs of
mown, vegetables, fruit, puddings, Sic., with table
beer, and after supper a glass of Holland, each, for
the moderate charge of one shilling each ; with which
charge, both the company and landlord were per-
f, etly satisfied.—(Brig/toe Chrumick.)
t The story of the amputation of Mr. Wallack's leg,
which has appeared in some papers, turns out to b
unfounded in fact. He was expected to recover fro,
his accident so completely, as to be able to continue to
perform the duties of his occupation.
'there are at this time in Fulham-fields, broad
beans in blossom, a circumstance, at this time of the
year, of very rare occurrence. There is also to hi '
seen [rowing, in the window of a house adjoining the
Ked Lion, Chelsea, in a pot, a carnation, which Las
three full blossoms on one stalk.
