Licences in JVeio Hampshire. — By a law passed 

 at the last session of tlie New Hampsliirc Legis- 

 lature, some good provisions have been made a- 

 gainst intemperance. " No person can now sell 

 spirituous liquors, to be drunk on their premises, 

 without being duly licensed by the selectmen of 

 the several towns in which they reside, and the 

 selectmen are authorized to license only such as 

 in their opinion are of good moral character and 

 v^ho will not abuse the privileges thus granted to 

 them." The fee for a yearly license is 20 Dol- 

 lars. 



The quantity of Boots and Shoes manufacturcl 

 m Massachusetts is believed to amount to many ! 

 millions of pairs annually for exportation, beside 

 those for home consumption. Jlassachusetts may 

 be said to supply (independent of tliose sent to N. 

 York) most of the Southern and Western States, 

 South America, the West Indies, &c. It is as- 

 tonishing how little the extent of this business is 

 known. The sale of leather is co-extensivc, and 

 the article is drawn from all quarters to this city. 

 Why are there no wholesale shoe manufactories 

 in Boston, as in New York City, Baltimore and 

 Philadelphia ? !f Boston should get a manufac- 

 turing turn, its population would treble in a few 

 years. [Palladium.] 



MEAD. 



This is an agreeable liquor prepared of honey 

 and water, witii the addition of spices. 



Various methods are practised in the brewing 

 of mead ; which, however, do not essentially differ 

 from eacli other: the following is one of the most 

 approved : — Let the whites of six eggs be well 

 incorporated with twelve gallons of water, to 

 which twenty pounds of honey are to be added. 

 The ingredients should boil for the space of one 

 hour ; when a little ginger, cloves, cinnamon, and 

 mace, together with a small sprig of rosemary, are 

 to be put into the liquor. As soon as it is cool, a

 South America and the southern United States,ani 

 she has lines of packets with Baltimore, Philadel- 

 phia, Troy, Albany, iStc. 



It is said the Boston merchants who import Eu- 

 ropean Goods through the N. Y. Packets, have a 

 deduction of the Atlantic freight equal to the 

 freight, &c. from N. Y. to Boston, and- thus have 

 those goods in store as cheap as the N. York mer- 

 chant. — [Palladium.]

A number of emigrant paupers have died at St. 

 Andrew's, N. B. and 30 were in the poor house 

 there at the last date. A tax on Emigrants is 

 proposed in N. Brunswick. 



Several young men have returned to Connecticut 

 and New York who were enlisted in the Colom- 

 bian service some years since at New York. They 

 represent their treatment and that of more than 

 400 of their countrymen as very cruel. — They 

 wore. recently discharged from the navy, starving 

 and almost naked. The American Consul at Car- 

 thagena refused to assist them, as they say. 



Peace between Brazil and Buenos Jiyres. Capt. 

 Hedge from Pernambiico, confirms the neivs of 

 the conclusion and promulgation of Beace between

 rejoicing on the event, and that business as well 

 as the people w'ore a new aspect. 



The Commissioners and Engineer on the West- 

 ern Rail Road, are actively engaged in the duties 

 of their appointment. They have explored two 

 routes between the Charles and Concord river-;, 

 and we understand are still engaged on that part 

 of the route. 



The leak in the Thames Tunnel has been so 

 far stopped that the work was to be resumed in a

The accounts from the manufacturing and agri- 

 cultural districts in England were very favourable. 



Mr Madison has entirely recovered from his late

It is said that the kings of England and France 

 have written in person, to Ferdinand, urging him 

 to adopt a mode of government better calculated 

 than the present, for the wants and character of 

 the people of Spain. Mr. Canning has urged the 

 same project upon the Spanish foreign minister. 

 What reception Ferdinand gave to the proposi- 

 tions is not stated. 



A writer in the Portsmouth Journal makes some 

 remarks on the trade of New-York and Boston. 

 Theory is often deceptive. Experience will decide. 

 Boston makes most of her importations from the 

 first sources. 



She imports direct from Europe to a consider- 

 able extent, and when circuitously, it is on her 

 account, and, we believe, does not affect the pri- 

 ces — She imports direct from Ga.ntQH, the East JQj'Qgf/^'^'^j'coriiig'Ki quality)
