Pink Label and Cork Branded " Kim. The Times observes impeachment of Presid— day, but in a very unexpected manner. Instead of begin ning with the first article of charge and dealing with the rest in order, the Senate began with the last, and having dis missed that article by a majority of 35 to 19, adjourned until the 26th without voting upon any other. It does not clearly appear whether this decision amounts to an acquittal upon the last article, or merely to a rejection of it as irrelevant, but in either case the effect is the same, and the Senate has proved itself capable of determining at least one issue in favour of the defendant. Until we receive fuller details of the pro ceedings, with a trustworthy analysis of the majority and minority, m e should not be justified in drawing any further inference from the vote, which, however, will doubtless produce a great impression thronghout the United States. Though conducted cn the whole with an ability and patience not unworthy of its Constitutional gravity, this memorable trial has been regarded throughout as a political struggle rather than as a judicial inquiry. Gen eral Butler insisted in his opening speech that the Senate was not even to be considered as a court of law, and that none of its members were disqualified for their functions by prejudice. This position has been consistently maintained by the managers, who contested the right of Chief Justice Chase to overrule objections on points of evidence, and have not shrunk from direct appeals to party motives and passions. It has, indeed, been maintained on behalf of the Republi can majority in Congress that a resort to prosecution was almost a superficial sct of forbearance, since it would have been their euty to depose the President by some revolu tionary act, if no such formality had been available. On the other hand, the moral competence of the Senate had been openly challenged by the counsel for the President, on the ground that, in trying him at all for alleged encroach ments upon the Senate itself, it was virtually acting as judge in its own cause. But the republican senators, in particular, had far stronger motives to bias them, since the removal of the President had long been felt and declared by their chief organs to be for them a political necessity. So violent was the pressure applied by the party to its representatives in the Senate, that it was seriously proposed to protect their consciences by adopting the ballot. In short, it was hardly doubted by any one that President Johnson would be condemned by " a strict party vote," whatever the evidence or argu ments might be. The fact that an independent verdict has been returned upon one specific charge goes far to rebut that presumption, and the adjournment for tendays affords some prospect of the whole case being entertained upon its merits. The Post remarks that this, the most remarkable State trial of modern times, may now be regarded as having ended. It was in some respects perhaps the most notable trial recordel in the annals of history. Charles I. of England and Louis XVI. of France were impeached at the instance of their subjects, and were condemned, but their trials were proceedings which, from beginning to end, were absolutely extra legal. The distinguishing feature of Mr. Johnson's trial was its strict conformity to the law. The chief magistrate of the most powerful republic in the world, solemnly arraigned before the Senate—his accusers the representatives of the nation, his defenders able and experienced counsel ; his judges also the representatives of the nation ; his trial conducted in conformity with the received princ'ples of law, and under the presidency of the senior jage of the republic— all combined to constitute a great historical picture, unblemished save by the operation of those political passions which called the picture itself into existence. In one respect, however, this picture will, in the eyes of historians, lase much of the grandeur which otherwise dis— tinguishes it. The proceedings were doubtless strictly legal, but we may be pardoned for doubting whether the votes delivcicd by the senators were dictated by an abstract idea of justice. Before the managers presented the articles of impeachment at the bar of the Senate it was known that the final vote would be a very close •one ; and we venture to say that, with the exception of one or two senators who were open to conviction, the division list might have been declared six weeks ago with even greater accuracy than if the point at issue bad been of a purely party character. The object and end of the impeachment were the same as those of any ordinary criminal trial, namely, the vindication of justice, but if that end hns been attained on the present occasion it Las been the result of the purest accident. The Daily News says President Johnson is neither acquitted nor convicted, but one group of facts which formed the basis of the last article of the impeachment as been set aside as not warranting a conviction, while as :co those which remain the verdict of the Senate is re served. The members ( f the Senate seem to regard their )ctrk. as . too 'mprtant to be neglected, but at the same ',line not so talent as to require to be hurried. Evidently no serious cm:mil:aloes are aprraended from either a can viction cr an acquittal, or we should not hear of a ver dict being r(ndered by instalments. The court will not meet again until 'Tuesday wtekr "e" it will Pr'"4/14Y eec its way more clearly to a final decision. The Standard declares that to convict Mr. Johnson for using bad ]arguage, at the instance of Messrs. But'er and Stevens, and by the votes of Sumner, Wade, and their associates in the Senate, would have been a flagrant insult to common sense, and an avowal of unscrupulous partisan ship, from which it is not strange that seven Republican senators should have shrunk ; what is strange is that thirty-five senators, sworn to do justice without fear or favour, should have dared to pronounce a verdict of Kuilty. It is not too confidently to be assumed that the cotes on the other charges will be exactly the same as on ;his. And even if the seven who have obeyed their con science rather than their party on this occasion should desire to act in the same manner on the next Saturday, it is by no means certain that the party pressure which is sure to be applied without stint or scruple during the intervening week may not shake the resolution of some among them. The Standard, commenting on the proceedings against Mr. Eyre, expresses its surprise at Sir Robert Collier lending his aid to it. The learned gentleman is not only a member of Parliament but an ex, and, probably, an expectant officer of the Crown. He was Solicitor• General when the rebellion broke out, and was consulted by Mr. Cardwell when the legality of Mr. Eyre's proclamation was first canvassed. We know from Mr. Cardwell's despatch that he, as well as the other legal advisers of Lord Russell's Government, was consulted before the Colonial Office despatch was sent out, and we know also, from the same source, that Sir Roundell Palmer and himself concurred in thinking that all acts done under military orders, or by courts martial, for the suppression of the revolt, were legal. We know that " shifting his side, as a lawyer knows how," is considered one of the accomplishments of the profession. But surely there are bounds to these things. A homely proverb tells us that there is a medium in roasting eggs. May not the same philosophy hold good even in pleading causes? Sir Robert Collier the advocate may perhaps prosecute at Bow•street, but how will Sir Robert Collier the legislator be able to eat his words at Westminster? Official archives have recorded his deliberate endorsement, when acting for the Crown, of what the governor did. We suppose that if political changes should restore him to his former office he will adhere to his former opinion. But will n•it his position be rather undignified if, when ap pealed to in the House of Commons he stands by Mr. Cardwell's despatch, an Opposition debater reminds him of what he did when holding a brief for the Jamaica Committee? The Telegraph lays down that the Boundaries Com mittee will not have time to " finish " their work. We must be content, for the present at least, with rough-and ready justice. The period is professedly one of transition, and the whole Reform legislation has been of a character to challenge revision at no very distant date. No doubt the select committee will he able to surmount the preli minary difficulties. At the outset of their labours they must draw a line between the boroughs whose boundaries should be altered in accordance with the plan of the com missioners, and those which have some prima facie ground for complaining of the commissioners' deci3ion. They must draw the line in a rough and ready fashion. For nice distinctions there is no time. They will have, not to set the seal of finality upon their work, but only to make such an arrangement as will permit the House to get through the business of the session soon enough for an early dissolution. Inisu Euro RATION. —Emigration from Queens. town appears to be at its height just now. Two out- going steamers which sailed on Thursday for America carried with them 600 persons, and nearly as large a number who Lad booked for the same steamers was left behind fir want of accon:modation, The Cork Examiner notes the fact that the exodus from the county of Cork has almost entirely stopped, the droves of people who fill the steamers twice or three times a week coming from the adjoi ni ng counties, and even from places so distant as Cavan. According to the SViLitors' Joumal, Mr. Daniel, the judge of the Clitheroe County Court, lately decided that a purchaser of goods at an auction may be compelled to pay the price to the auctioneer, although he has already paid it to, or settled for it in account with, the owner of the goods. The decision, which is doubtless a correct one, proceeds upon the ground that the auctioneer has a lien for his charges upon the goods entrusted to him for sale, and also upon the proceeds of the sale. The point decided is not a novel one, but it is worth notice as a warning to purchasers at al..etions not to pay any one but the auctioneer without first ascertaining that his C llargcs are paid.

General Sir George Pollock, G.C.8., G.C.S.L, &c. &c. SECRETARY. John Westwood, Esq. rhe only drawback to doing this is the risk of misleading capitalists and raising mistrust of such investments. "In the present instance no such risk need be appre hended, for there is evident throughout Colonel Dickens' report a most conscientious endeavour to anticipate the maxim 'in cost of the work." And see ndly. Two paraqraplis from a iniuute recordel by Sir P. P. Uraut whou Lioutenaut-Goveruor of Bengal, viz..- " The magnificent province of Behar which would be admirably watered by Captain Dickens' projected canal from the Soane. The cost hero would certainly be very much less (than at Cuttack), and the returns may rea sonably be expected to be mach more secure, because we know, as a fact, the valu e of irrigation in IlAar. The soil is better and the natural rainfall is less by half on an ave rage, and much less certain in Behar than in Cuttack. The most valuable crops are not the rain crops in Behar, and for the most valuable crop; there it is found by expe rience that expensive Well Irrigation pays, which has not been proved by experience to be the general case in Orissa. " I venture to recommend this enterprising Company, in %hose success every person connected with India must feel deep interest, to consider Captain Dickens' scheme of irrigation from the Soane, for which complete plans aad estimates are availaltle, and nothing is wanted but the money." By the contract with the Government the Company aro entitled to receive and retain all profits from the sale of water for irrigation, until the dividends paid to Shareholders shall exceed 20 per cent. upon the total expenditure made, after which the balance of such profits is to be divided equally between the Goveritinent and the Company. The returns from all other sources are to belong to the Com pany exclusively. The scheme of works to be executed has now been thoroughly investigated and carefully re-planned on behalf of the Company, and particulars submitted to and ap proved by the Government. There will be no delay in making preliminary surveys, plans, &c., all of which have been effected, and everything made ready for immediate constructive operations, a great advantage not possessed heretofore by any other undertaking of a like character, because the realisation of profits has been thus brought so much nearer. The capital has been divided into shares of £lO each, and stock in sums rang:ng from LEO upwards, to suit the conveniecca of all; as it is thought many may desire to take a definite amount of stock, or to pay up in full, and thus be free at once from all future care about calls, and from all future liability, while others may prefer to pay a smaller sum down as a deposit on shares, and pay up the residue by instalments as calls may be made. Some shares have been already allotted in India. The share capital will be called up slowly, and so as, with the stock, to maintain an expenditure at the rate of about £130,000 per annum. £2 per share during each year will be ample for this. Applications for shares may now be sent to the Com pany's Offices, 8 and 9, Queen-street -place, Southwark bridge, London, E.C., where a full prospectus and forms of application may be bad ; but it is necessary that it should be understood that no application will be considered, un less a deposit of LI ou each share, or of 10 per cent. upon the amount of stock applied for, has been made either to the Rankers of the Company, Messrs. Ransom, Network+, and Co., No. 1, Pall-mall East, or at the Offi';es, 8 and 9, Queer.-street-place, Southwark-bridge, Loudon, E.C. The 'deposit will be returned without de luction if the applica tion is not acceded to. ABRIDGED PROSPECTUS. The circumstances under which subscriptions are now invited by this Company, to a further issue of capital, are peculiarly favourable for investors, and present the strongest evidence of the sound and profitable character of the undertaking, to complete which an aiditional outlay is required. As they are now planned, and being constructed, the canals will, when completed according to the estimates of many engineers most competent to judge, including Colonel Rundall and the present chief engineer of the Company, convey water for the Irrigation of about 700,000 acres. Adopting a temporary rate of charge for irrigation, and estimating the returns from navigation at the very mode rate total of three per cent. upon the outlay (the pr ese nt .chiei• engineer has just reported that he estimates the re turns upon the'Tidal Canal will be at least.ten,per cent.), and allowing the Meth chtirgo'of five per cefit. for repairs, inaititeuauc:, eetablishment, cte., the net returns from the seetions now to - be completed .would be altogether twelve p ir cent., which, by, the, re-establishment of the original rite of tiVe rupeesper acre for irrigation, wou ld b e ma d e up to twenty-one per-Centenete ‘: I% Tkeie are figures the: ae#urapy of which c an b e easily definitistrated, said akix•iequiry: made regardi ng th eta at •thi.ieCotiapa.ny's offiees will be at once replied.to, and every information given: . , 'Die prospect of an immediat e a nd extensiVe' spread of irrigation, and therefore of a satisfactory increase upon the existing returns, is highly encoura g i ng. B y reports received on the 3d of the present month, and dated the 30th March, it appears that ths . ro had then been signed, connected with the Kondrapar a Canal alone, leases (prin cipally f m ulorc3ytiHvaartso) for about 23 , 00 0 acres ; th a t applica tions cultivators of land under the same canal were being received at the rate of from 2,000 to 5,000 acres daily ; and that the natives were cutting the smaller channels necessary to convey the water to their fields with earnestness ; further, that in the vicinity of the high ' level canal meetings were Ming held by the Zemin dars, and other unmistakable taigas exhibited Oat the same favourable state on affairs there as that connected with the Kendrapara Canal was a mere matter of a short time, and that before the coming season large demands will be made for water. Upon the previous for construction Midnapore Canal the effect of the reduction of the water rate, (fee., had not, at the end of klar.pochl.tibeonenofththoraotucaghnlayi ' and had then only been reopened, but the chief and the engineer of the Company ,executive engineer in purposes, s ua c ir e p r ob t s a ee i e n s,n e d e 1 , ose becauseffor r s o the aie irrigating time charge reported that applications for water, in addition to the 4,000 acres supplied last year, had commenced and wee confidently expected t o b e added to largely. The.'Werks alree'dyecuotrticted hav e now entered u po n, their stage of revenue, and they offer t o cap i tal i sts not only ' a safe investment, but o ne whic h will, most assuredly, be v very profitable ere long; and here it may be added, as contirtnatory of this elmost immediate prospect, that the portions of the works now in hand remaining to be exe cuted, consisting mainly of channels for the distribution of the water, will necessarily be the easiest of construction, as well as the most productive, and will add materially to the percentage of retnrus on the whole outlay. _...._ _ There is also another feature of great importance, which must not be omitted in the consideration of the fitness of this undertaking for an investment. By the contract it is expressly provided that the CoMpany shall be paid for the water supplied for irrigation to the cultivators—not by the cultivators themselves—but by the Government of India; and that the price to be so paid by the Government to the Compauy for such water shall be, the price charged to the cultivators, and shall be fixed so us to represent a fair charge for the water to the parties using it. With refe rence to this stipulation, it has been aeknowledged by the Government that they alone are liable in respect to the non-payment for water supplied, so that the Company are released from all fear of liability to loss of any portion of their water-rate. The value of the foregoing arrangement can hardly be too highly prized, forming as it does a cer tain and safe guarantee of payment for every portion of the water supplied for ir r i gation. It has been determined b y the D i rectors t o li m it, a t an y rate for the present, the expenditure to a b ou t £130,000 per annum, whereby they will be enabled to make all fu ture calls small in amo un t and at regular state d per i o d s, n ot exceeding on the wh o l e £2 per share d ur i ng eac h year ; at the same time they are enabled by the Act of In corporation to issue the required capital partly in shares of £lO each, and partly in stock divisible into sums vary ingvenience of those who desire to limit their liability to from £lO upwards — a a fixed sum at once, and to be relieved from future calls, and also those who May prefer to pay the amount of capital held by them by P e l a a a n y w h i l s t : c a l:n il : of calls. Applications for Shares and Stock may now be made by filling up and forwarding either of the accompanying Forms 8 111 1itt theh the h e :: to the ° Company's Offices, 8 and 9, Queen-street -place, South wark -bridge, London, E.C. (where a full Prospectus and Forms of Application may be had); but it is necessary that it should be understood that no application will be considered unless a deposit of £1 on each share, or of ten has been made either to th e B an k e rs of the Company; pounds ziessrs per e .Ransom,et u the am o unt of stock applied for, upon Bouverie, and Co., No. 1, Pall Mall East, or at the Offices of the Company The Deposit will be returned without deduction if the application is not ac ceded to.

The great value and promising nature of "The Behar Undertaking," secured by contract to this Company, have, during the'been so well and favourably discussed in England and throughout India, first by the Government and then by the Com pany's officers, and are c now so generally known, that any statement which the Directors might add upon the subject would be superfluous ; they, therefore, limit last eight or ten ye3xs, themselves to an assurance that they are satisfied it pre sents a safe, sound, and profitable investment; and, unhe sitatingly, solicit subscriptions toward 3 the requisite capital; at the same time they quote, as confirmatory of their own judgment, the following: Firstly. An extract from a despatch to the Secretary of State iu Council, dated March 10,1862, recommending that the Soane Canal project should bo given to a private com pany, which despatch was signed by the late Lord Can ning as Governor-General, and by Sir Henry Bartle Frere (since Governor of Bombay and now a member of the Council of India iu England), Sir Cecil Beadon (after wards Lieut.-Governor of Bengal), General Sir Robert Napier (now commanding the forces in Aby ss i n i a ) , S amue l Laing, Esq., M.P. (then the Finance Member of Council for India), and the Hon. IV. Tit ;Lie, being tho whole of the Governmental Council, viz.:— " His Honour the Lieu enant-Governor considers that it (the Soane Canal project) holds out better prospects than the Orissa scheme, and that it would be good for both the East India Irrigation Company and for the coun try if the Compa-y were to adopt' this instead of the other ; but the projectors prefer that originally selected by them. " We havo long regarded this scheme as one of all others in India to which private capital should be invited. "There is this advantage in Gov rnment taking the initiative in planning the great works of the country, that. they'are so placed before the public that they can be dis cussed in the light of local knowledge and experience.

There is an interesting letter in the San Fran cisco Journal of Commerce, dated March 20, on the Silver Mines of Nevada. The silver bars shipped in 1866 amounted to $12,985,150, and in 1867 to $15,204,293. The shipment of gold had decreased, while that of silver had increased ; nearly all being the product of the Nevada mines. The reduced ore contains sufficient gold to give an average of $2 25c. per ounce, the value of fine silver being only $1 28c. per ounce. The export of silver is classed under two heads ; the crude bars containing gold being sent to the Eastern States, and the fine bars reduced to a pure state being despatched to the China Mining, commenced in Nevada in 1861, when great loss and waste resulted from ignorance, the character of the mines being unknown. The terri tory was unsettled, the transport difficult and costly, wages and materials exorbitant, and these drawbacks, coupled with the inexperience of the miners, made it impossible to work rock that would not give at least $3O to the ton. The Ophir, and the Gould and Curry gave $75, and as the opinion existed, if any one thought at all on this subject, that the richness would extend to indefinite depths, the work progressed with frightful extravagance, and when the ore was exhausted no provision had been made to open new ledges. Fifty mines worked in a continuous line on that vein, occupying 80,000 ft., going not deeper than 300 feet, and throwing aside as worthless ore yielding less than $25 per ton. Money on the best security was in 1863 3 per cent. per month ; wood, $2O per cord ; wages a guinea a day when the lode showed signs of exhaustion, and the stocks before eagerly bought fell heavily, assessments being levied on the shareholders. A better system was afterwards brought into opera tion. The early workings, though in the first in stance profitable, being ruinous to the mines, levels were sunk to the depth of 400, 500, and 700 feet, PRICE.... 4d. STAMPED .sd. until at last they attained 900 feet, and the irregu lar mines were dropped, the labour being concen trated on newer, more rich, and extensive de posits. Simultaneously the proc.ss of tunnelling ,Lnd reducing were simplified, and the ore economised, as $ll per ton now yields a . profit. Wood sank to $ll p er cor d, and wages in proportion. The companies continued their sinking, and provided improved ani powerful ma chinery, working on a depth of 900 feet, sinking, drifting, and exploring for new veins, and defraying such expenses out of current receipts till the great established works have become acknowledged as permanently paying properties. The Imperial Mine, which is given as au example, was organized in April, 1863, by the consolidation of ,several others, at a cost of $1,000,000, divided into shares of $250. Tha bullion extracted has been $1,274,337. The total expenses, including mill., shafts, and every thing, amounted to $3,280,000, and the dividends have been over $1,000,000. Thus the mine it self in five years paid the enormous expenses of the fine machinery now erected, and all the build ings, shaft, &c , upwards of £600,000, while it has given £200,000 to the sharehol !ers, besides return ing all the capital subscribed. This is taken fairly to . represent the present state of the good Nevada mines generally. Three facts give the citizens confidence in well-established Nevada properties. First, they have become permanent in their character ; second, they can now work low grade ores at high profits ; third, the opening of the country by rail, the rise of large towns, the settlement of population, and the decrease in the value of food, material and money, enables the proprietors as well as the miners to operate at a profit. The nature of the security is now so highly thought of on the Pacific coast that the shares of the leading silver mines are those best held and most distributed in those StWes. The fact of continuous deposits at great depths is estab lished, and the business being reduced to a system with results no longer uncertain could not fail to produce this effect. The supply of bullion on the market is now rapidly increasing, and the regular channels through which it is absorbed opening out. the shares of well-established Nevada min :Ls are therefore readily saleable in San Francisco, though of course only at a price yielding an interest which in Europe, if the security w.re thought good, would be considered extravagantly high. For instance, the Imperial, which is much more likely to increase than to diminish its dividends of the last five years, commands $270 per sh.ara ; that is, it is value I in San Francisco at an amount which returns about 23 per cent., the payments being made monthly in gold. The sum hitherto absorbed in the works will, in future, be available for distribuion. We propose to discuss in a subsequent article what is likely to be the effect of the enormously increasing yield of silver, and of the continuous supply of gold, on the value of money.—Anglo-American Times. DKUNKENNESS. The Round Table, in a leading article, discusses General Grant's habits, arriving at the conclusion that, whatever the weakness or strength of his past habits, or of his present ones, his claims, or their recompense--his countrymen would be wise to assure themselves, ere it be to too late, that where there is much smoke there is no fire. The ./Va tioual Temperance Advocate, the official organ of the cause in the United States, announces that " having thoroughly investigated the matter we give it as our deliberate opinion that General Grant does not now drink—that is, anything alco holic." General Howard and Mr. William E. Dodge lately examined the case at Washington, and the opinion was based on their investigations. The Round Table evidently thinks that General Grant drinks, bnCdoes not, in oiii-orinion, write in a fair spirit. The story we related last Saturday by Mr. Olmsted is alluded to as follows : —" He writes a let ter to say that he was once in the General's company, when, in his, Mr. Olmsted's opinion, the General was quite sober, but that, on the same occasion, somebody else who conversed with the General thought and said that he was quite drunk, which incident Mr. Olmsted seems to think decisive as settling the point of habitual sobriety." Now this does not fairly represent Mr. Olmsted's letter, as our readers are aware. Alluding to the British Parliament the Round Table says " such instances (tippling) have been numerous, more so, no doubt, in the last generation than in this ; yet one of the most cautious of contemporary statesmen, Mr. Disraeli, is said by leading London journals to have been in a state of obvious intoxication while deli vering his recent speech on the Irish Church ques tion. The intoxication is asserted to have been alcoholic, but we have heard it confidently stated by Englishmen that this gentleman has long been accustomed to take opium before his important forensic efforts." If drunkenness were common among gentlemen in England, it would certainly frequently appear in the House of Commons, be cause the habits of English gentlemen almost con fine their drinking to dinner and afterwards, and the dinner hour among them is from six to eight p.m. The business of the House is mainly trans acted after dinner, and therefore every opportunity is afforded for ascertaining the habits of the mem bers, and the instances are rare in which even a breath of suspicion attaches to any ALP. of in ebriety. It would be considered something dread ful if a member appeared intoxicated before dinner, for the pleasant " drinks" concocted in America have taken long to be introduced into England, and the habit of indulging in them during the day, when old friends meet, has not become general. If the business in the English Ho use was con fi ne d to th e day, as it is in the United States House, except in rare instances, a case of drunkenness in it would be absolutely unknown. The Round Table once created a sensation by a series of articles on " Drunkenness among Women," and the Revolution has taken up as a plank of its platform " Reforma tion in Drunkenness among Men." We cannot tell the value of the figures in the official records of the New York Inebriate Asylum, but it would appear if the ten years' experience of that establishment be regarded as conclusive that the topers of America are rich men's daughters. There were 1,300 appli cations for admission from this class; 39 of the men were clergymen, 8 were judges, 340 merchants, 226 physicians, and 240 styled themselves gentle men. Mrs. Stanton, if these figures truly indicate who drinks, ought to direct the Revolution first to her own sex ; and as she considers the consumption of alcohol disqualifies for the fanchise, rich men's daughters must be an ineligible class. Senator Yates, in reply to the people of Illinois, confesses " the weakness which has borne him down," but we scarcely think that the Senator does justice to the strength of his potations ; it was no mild pota tion to which Mr. Yates succumbed, and we can well believe what he affirms, that he often suffered " the pangs of unutterable remorse." While he earnestly asks the forgiveness of his fellow-citizens, stating his sin to have been its own punishment, he declines firmly to relinquish his seat in the Senate, but promises a reformation. Whether there is greater consumption of alcoholic drinks among the legislators of the United States or of the United Kingdom we cannot tell, but the American habit of drinking during the day tells, as far as appearance ' goes, against America.—Anglo-American 'limes.
