An idea of the immense extent to
which the brewing Exporter is carried
on in London, may be formed by the
following description of Barclays brew
cry IL any private concern in England
or in the world, is entitled 70 the cpl

ers about eight acres of ground, and
manufactured last year 351, 474 barrels,
of So gallons each. The buildings
which contain the vats themselves are
enormous. The largest Of the latter
contains each 1000 barrels. The aver
age number of vats is nearly 100. A
steam-engine of 22 horse power is en-
pioyed in driving the machinery, and a.
bout two hundred nen are engaged in
the various works of the establishment
lit is supposed that the number of per-
sons dependant upon it without doors, in
the sale and transportation the beer,
lie three or four thousand. The three
-coppers in which the beer is boiled; hold
each $50 barrels. twenty-five gentle
8en once dined in one Of these coppers
after which, SO of the workmen got in
ard RECALLED themselves. One hundred
and ninety pounds of beef-steaks were
thus consumed in one day, in this novel
kind of dining-room. The tunsin which
the beer ferments, hold l40O barrels
each. The carbonic acid. in one of
them, stands three and half feet above
the liquor, and pours over the side in a
continued stream. A candle is instantly
extinguished on being placed near the
outer edge of this receptacle, and on
holding ones face near it, asharp pung-
ent sensation is felt in the mouth and
face, not very unlike that produced by
ardent spirits. An immersion Of a few
moments would be fatal. One hundred

observed, "Perhaps it was salt fish; -
which again threw the assembly into

DANCING.-The Chinese have odd
IDEAS of this amusement. When Com
modore Arson was at Canton, the Off
GERS Of the Centurion had ball upon
some court holiday: while they were
dancing, a Chinese, who very quietly
surveyed the operation, said softly to
one of the party, Why don't you let
your servants do this for you?"
PRESENCE OF MIND.-A house-maid in
Upper Grosvenor-street, London, who
was inclined to take a draught of ale,
after the family had retired to bed,
gIided silently into the cellar without a
candle. As she was feeling about for
the cask, the situation of which was not
unknown to her, she put her hand on
something which she Immediately per-
ceived to be the head of man. The
girl, with an uncommon share Of fo4ti-
tude and good sense. forbore TO cry out,
but said,in tone nfimpatience, "Deuce
take Betty, she is always putting the
mops in the way" She then went to
the cask, quietly drew her beer, retired
from the cellar, fastened the door, and
alarmed the house. The man was
taken, tried, and convicted; and oeelar-
ed, before he quilted the court, that the
maid was entirely indebted to her pres
ence of mind for her life, for had she
cried out, he must Instantly have MUIR
dered her; but as he firmly believed
she mlstdok his head for mop, particu-
larly as she had drawn the beer after
she had felt it, he let her go away with
out INJURY, not apprehending that she
could have given information Of any one
being in the cellar.
