R. COPE begs to inform his Friends and Customers in general, that
he can supply them with Ale and Beer far superior to any to be got in
the Colony, and that he intends to make preparations for manufacturing
Porter, which he presumes will be found superior to any that can be
imported from Home, as the water he uses is taken from the Derwent,
which is far superior to any in the .Colony, from its being free from
impregnations of mineral substances.
N.B.-Barley taken in exchange for Beer, Ale, &c, and Malted on

child, a fine little boy two years of age. He was
playing with the other children in the kitchen
when he unfortunately fell backward into a pot of
boiling water, severely scalding the lower part of
his back and abdomen. Dr. Appleyard was soon in
attendance but his efforts were unavailing, as the
poor child gradually sank, and died next evening.

RICHMOND BREWERY.- Every effort to en-crease
our home resources, and to shut out as much as
possible every other produce than that of the British
Australian Colonies, is deserving notice, and we are
therefore glad to make known that Mr. Ockerby, of
the Lennox Arms, Richmond, has opened a small
brewery at his place, where he is producing an article
from malt and hops only, of excellent quality, and with
a stronger sample of which he intends astonishing the
public generally when his proposed arrangements
are completed. These country breweries, if properly
worked by their proprietors, and supported by the
public, will very soon drive the Cape wine used in
harvest time, out of the market, and it is to such
means of relief, rather than Legislative measures, the
colonists ought to look for assistance.
