There is an official value and a real value. As for instance, the official value of goods imported in 1809 is stated at only 27,509,400. though the real value is placed at 46,138,4797. as above stated, on the authority of a late ministerial writer. So as to the exports for the same year-the official value was but 38,327,4951. and the real value is estimated at 68,972,4371. By these distinctions, politicians both sides of the question, sometimes, even when telling the truth, lead us into gross errors, by giving the official value for one part of their statement and the real for the other, or vice versa, as suits their purpose. From the nature and design of the work from which this part of our table is quoted, we have full reason to believe the real value (as it is called) is placed as high as it would bear; but have no document whereby to test its correctness.

This is presumed, for sundry good reasons, to include all the productions of the mechanic arts necessary to the ordinary wants of the people, as well as what is generally understood by the word manufactures.

The number of the house of lords are indefinite;
the king can make as many as he pleases.
In 1793 it was estimated that twenty-four mil-
lions of bushels of grain, valued at three mil-
lions pounds, were made into drinks in G.
Britain.-The consumption of grain for
this purpose has greatly declined since that
period, sugar being substituted for distillation.

The following is the amount of duties paid by the distillery in Great Britain for the last seven years, from the 5th January 1804

It will be observed, that the returns of the last two years, when the distillation from grain was prohibited, is considerably below that of any of the preceding years. But, besides this diminution of revenue, when sugar is employed, it ought also to be mentioned, in any comparative view which may be taken of the advantages and disadvantages attending distillation from these commodities, that, during these two years, 1811, 1812, there is, besides, a loss sustained of the entire duty paid on the malt in the other years, amounting to 250,000 more annually. The total amount, therefore, of the difference between the last two years of the above returns, when sugar was used, and the two years preceding, when malt was employed, is not less than 1,480,3731. 68. 10 d. nearly one million and a half sterling. Whenever the arguments in favour of each of these two commodities appear to be nearly balanced, we have no hesitation in saying that the consideration of such a loss to the revenue, ought to turn the scale in'favour of grain.
