POLICE INTELLIGENCE—YEsTmair LIVERPOOL. BEFORE MR MANSFIELD. THEOLOGY ANB " ARUM` SPIRITS."—A decent looking female, named Mary Ehannon, the wife of a cabinetmaker, was brcught up by officer 758, charged by Elizabeth Campbell, the wife of a sea captain, with being drunk and disorderly and for annoying her at her house, in Clare street. The complainant having stated the case, the police officer confirmed it, so far as stating that the prisoner was drank and very disorderly. In reply to Mr. Mansfield, the prisoner said :My father-in law and all belonging to me have good characters. Mr. Mansfield : That has nothing to do with you being drunk and disorderly. Pri soner : Well, I will tell you how it took place. That woman brought me to the New Market, when we had some drink, and then she commenced talking about Dan O'Connell and Ireland, and I told her .1 did not like either the one nor the other, as it was not my religion—laughter—she's a Roman Catholic and I'm a Protestant, and—Mr. Mansfield : Yes ; a w man of reformed principles ; but you are charged with being drunk, and that has nothing to do with Daft O'Connell or Ireland. Prisoner : But you see, sir, I hate three little children, and a stream of blood besides (laughter) coming down my head, from the blow of a poker that she gave me. Mr. Mansfield :It is very desirable that women should avoid discussing theology and other matters that lead to fighting, but it is still more desirable that women should refrain from drink and keep sober. You Are fined ss, or seven days' imprisonment. [Here, a cur dog, that happened to be in the back of the court, gave a loud yelp, when a voice cried out very strongly "put out that child?" The dog gave a very much louder " taw]," and " put out that child " was reiterated with renewed vigour. Poor " Pincher" was ejected, howling fearfully amid laughter.] Mawr JUICE AND HARD WHEAT.—Thomas Abrahams, described as a carter, in the employ of Mr. Brancker, was charged with stealing 1 cwt. of wheat, the property if Messrs. Frazer and Co. It appeared that there was a quantity of wheat being removed from a ship in the Waterloo Dock, and that the prisoner took one of the bags full of corn and attempted to steal it The officer got the bag on the prisoner's lorry, covered up. Mr. Cobb appeared for the prisoner, and cross-examined the constable, who said the prisoner was very drunk at the time; he frequently saw the prisoner, and believed he had been in Mr. Brancker's employment for six years. Mr. Cobb : What is his character for that time ? Well, " pretty tidy, " I believe. I never heard anything against him before. Mr. Cobb said it was all the fault of the infernal drink, as the prisoner did not know what he was doing. The prisoner was sent to gaol for fourteen days. A BooT "MAKER "—A well dressed female named Sarah Turner was charged with stealing a pair of boots from the shop of Mr. J. 0. Jones, Brownlow-hill, and two pair from the shop of Mr. Nash, Lime street. Mr. Bluck was for the prisoner. She went into IVlr. Jones's shop under pretence of making a purchase, but she managed, instead thereof, to " make " a pair, by concealing them ander her shawl ; the complainant saw her take them, and then he gave her into custody. This witness was subject to a fiery cross examination by Mr. Bluek, and his answers caused much laughter. On the prisoner there were found several pawn-tickets relating to pledged boots, and on examining them, two pa , r were identified by Mr. Nash as stolen from his shop, and there were six pairs, for whom there was no owner found. The bridewell-keeper said she was an old band." at the " foot" department. Kr. Blink : I defy you to find the name of Sarah Turner, BO far as she is concerned, in you books. Bridewell keeper : No, for she gave other names several times. She was sent for trial. ' Vicious.—A carter named Michael Walter, was charged with having assaulted Robert Clare, a joiner. The com- plainant was passing along Crosshall-street, when he saw a fellow beatirg a boy, and on interfereing to prevent him, the prisoner rushed at him with a knife in his hand, and then witness ran away, followed by the prisoner, who tripped him up and struck him a violent blow on the head with a hammer. The bride yell-keeper said the prisoner was a desperate character, and tried to hang himself in the cell with his handkerchif. The prisoner was sent to jail for two months. Tun CHARGE or POISONING.— Mr. Goodere, on behalf of John Guy, who stands remanded on a charge of having attempted to poison his wife, a full report of which ap peared,in yesterday's paper, applied to His Worship to ad mit the prisoner to bail, and his Worship agreed to take two sureties in £5O each for the appearance of the accused, next week CAUGHT AGAlN.—Catherine Wilkinson, and William Fosherd were brought up by detective officer Laycock and Smith, charged with having stolen a silver watch, gold chain, gold studs for a shirt, and an entire suit of clothes, from a young man, named Smith, described as a traveller, at present stopping at 29, Dalton-street. The prisoners enticed the prosecutor into a den in Pitt-street, where they robbed him of the things stated, but the police re covered all the property. The Bridewell keeper said the female prisoner had only just come out of jail, where she had served four years penal servitude, for having robbed a gentleman of £5OO in the early part of 1853. Both prisoners sere sent for trial. A FELLOW-LODGER.—A gentleman named William Miles, who is connected with the General Post-office, charged Thomas Hughes, described as lately a steward on board the Rai Jacket, Australian ship, with having stolen wearing apparel, value £2 109, from him. The parties lodged ,n the same house in Great Newton-street, and about a fortnight ago the prisoner took the clothes and pledged them for 17s. He now admitted having done so, and he was sent to gaol for three months with hard labour. The pawnbroker who took the clothes in pledge wa s orde ed to restore them to the owner without any pay ment. COUNTY COURT,-YESTERDAY. BEEORPI J. K. BLAIR, ESQ., JUDGE. WIONALL V. HOWELL—This was an action to recover the sum of £1 under the following peculiar circumstances: —The plaintiff, Mrs. B - idget WignAl, is the keeper of the Dining-rooms, 143, 13011 e-street, and some time since a person of the name of William James, v.h i visited the house, stole from it a three volume " History of England," and sold the books to Me. Edward Howell, of Church street, the defendint.l !The plaintiff subsequently weer tained where the books wore s Ad, and obtained the= from Mr. Howell on plyment of £l, the amount at which ha had purchased them from James. FA. the defenc, it was alleged that the plalnziff had offered to take ro legal mealnres against James if he told her where the books were sold, and furthermore that she expressed her thanks to Mr. Howell for retaining the books until she was in a position to repurchase them. It was, therefore, contended that having so attempted to compromise the felony she had put herself out of court, though James was subsequently prosecuted by her, and convicted before the Recorder. Hie Honour said that the case was an important one, andle would reserve judgment until Tuesday. SAME V.

"The Master of the Workhouse, Mr. Gough, reported that the number of paupers in the workhouse last week was 657, since when 40 had been admitted, and 17 discharged. This week there were 679, of whom 386 belonged to Toxteth Pary. For the corresponding week of last year, there were 651. The Nlaster of the Hospital, Mr. Davis, reported that the number of patients in that establishment, under his care last week, was 99 ; this week there were 101, of whom 33 belonged to Toxteth Park. For the corresponding week of last year, 101. Cheques t) the amount of £176 were voted for the relief of the out-doar poor, within the several districts of the union. COMrLAINT AGAINST AN OVERSEER. The Cerk then read the following letter and state ment : Marley, Aigburth, 23 .d November, 1857. Sir,—Having directed Mr. Sellers, superintendent of the c unty police of this distric", to inquire under what cir cumstances Mr. Andrew , ' , ac.sistant overseer, had certified a Mr. William Gerard as the resident of a house in Aigharth Vale, Garaton, now, and for some time pas', in the occupation of a Mr. Woodger, for the purpose of enabling Mr. Gerard to obtain a beer license, I received the enclosed rep)rt from Mr. Sellers, which I hand you for the information of the guatdians, and request you to lay it before them- I can add nothing to this statement, except that, having sent for Mr. Andrews, and asked him for an explanation, he admits the facts, but alleges that he has been imposed upon by Mr. Gerard and his friends, which can be no excuse whatever for the offence he has committed. There is no cl,:ubt that he has made himself liable to an information for helvy penalties, under an Act of 11 and 12 Vic, c. 43; but it appears to me it ought to be consi r'ered whether, on account of his long services, he might not rather be allowed to resign his situation, the duties and resp)nsibilities of which age and increasing intl mitice have for some time r-ndred him incapable of efficiently carrying out.—l remain, Sir, your obedient servant, JOHN A. TINNB. Mr. Cleaver, Clerk to the Guardians of the West Darby Union. Superintendent's-office, Bootle, near Liverpool, 7th Nov., 1857. Sir,—ln accordance with your wishes, I have made enquiries as to the circumstances under which a certificate was granted, by Mr. Andrews, assistant overseer at Waver tree, to William Gerard, with reference to the occupation of the house at Aigburth belonging to Mrs. Green. The following is the result :—The house in question has been oecupied by Mr. Woodger for some time past, and he is still in possession ; the tenancy has, however, been determined by notice to quit from Mrs. Green, which notice had not expired at the time the certificate was obtained, although it is understood an agreement had been entered into with Gerard fur the future tenancy, Early in August last, Gerard called on Mr. Andrews with a certificate of occupancy, previously obtained from Mr. Steven, exc's - :- officer of the district ; and, according to Mr. Andrews, Gerard requested him to sign this certificate to enable him to obtain a beer house. Mr. Andrews states that, on referring to the rate-book, he found the name of Woodger as tenant, and that the rate was unpaid ; that he pointed this out to Gerard, and intimated to him that Woodger alone was entitled to the certificate; whereup,m Gerard stated that he had no w taken the house and was the occupier, and would pay the rate on Mr. Andrews altering the book-and inserting his name; that Mr. Andrews then made the alte ration—received the rate—and signed the certificate Gerard presented this certificate to the excise officer shortly afterwards, and applied for the license ; but the officer being then aware that Gerard did not reside in the house, refused the application ; the certificate was retained by Gerard. Woodger states that he was not aware of any application by Gerard fo:. the certificate, or of any arrange ment with him as to becoming tenant; nor did he author rise Gerard to pay the rate. I way state that Mr. Andrews, in gran'ing the certificate, does not appear to have exercised that caution whieb, but for his age and infirmities, he would, doubtless, have felt of importance in a case like the present, especially where the act - renders him liable to an information for penalties. I have not thought it necessary to trouble you with the inspector's reports in this matter, as they are embodied in the foregoing statements; but, should you wish for copies, I will forward thorn, and I shall be glad to make any fur ther inquiries you may suggest•—l am, sir, yoer obedient servant, .• __ • JOHN Smusits, Superintendent. John A. Tinne, Esq., Brierley-house, Aigburth. Mr. Ledge"-, after rsfering to the above, said he did not think that the subject was one that came within the juris diction of the board, and that an old and faithful servant hnd no right to be so treated, and c neluded by moving a r, solution to the effect, that the board did not c )nsider that Mr. Andrews had acted improperly, intentionally, and that they do not interfere in the matter. Mr. Whitby seconded the motion. Mr. Shaw thought that Mr. Tirane at 3413 - e superintendent had steppld out of their place in making the charge, and calling upon the board to dismiss a good servant. The Chairmal expressed his concurrence in these views. Mr. Whitby thought it would be a poor reward for an old and faithful servant, for he had been a most faithful servant to the board for the list twenty y-ars. Mr. Abrahams: There has not beep: a more faithful servant b longing to the union. The resolution was then put and carried unanimously. The o'h3r business transacted was purely of a routine character, and after it had been disposed of, the board adjourned. At LEWIS & '0 AIPANY'S, Ranelagh•street.

EXTENSIVE PLUNDER AT THE ROYAL BANK, DUBLIN.— Information has been received by the detective p dice, at Scotland yard, of another daring bank robbery (supposA to have been perpetrated by some of the London swell-mob) in the Royal Bank, city of Dublin. It seems that, at three o'clock on Monday afternoon, a gentleman from Ulster presented a draft for £1,490 19s. 9d., which, according to his request, was paid in notes, gold, and silver, all of which was, after being carefully counted, placed in a bag and tied up. Previous t , leaving the bank, he stopped to say a few words to a friend, the bag lying on the counter, his elbow resting on it fer security. Just at this moment, a person dressed in the extreme of fashion, politely requested the gentleman to oblige him with a dip of ink. The Ulster gentleman extended his arm to oblige him, and involuntarily moved his elbow off the bag, when it instantly disappeared. The bank doors were promptly closed, but the thief had escaped The gentleman who wanted the ink was not to be found, and there is no doubt that he and the thief were confederates. A. large reward is offered for the apprehen sion of these adroitiplunderers. THE POST OFFICE AND THE AusranrAN MAILS learn that a now system of " working off'' the mails is about to be commenced by the Post-office authorities. A. staff of offici ds will leave Southampton by the Australian packet for Alexandria, to open the mails and divide the letters in their transit for this country. For this purpose the officials will have a separate cabin to themselves, and will take the entire charge of the mails, instead of the Admiralty agents. This mode of preparing the mails, which has been carried on for some time by the French Government in their Mediterranean postal steamers, will greatly expedite the delivery of the correspondence con tained in the Australian mails. If the plan succeeds, we earnestly recommend that some similar arrangement should be adopted with the other packet mails, especially those from India, which contain such important correspondence Additional expenditure should not be an obstacle. We frequently have to wait from two to three hours after the a. rival of these mails at the post-office before we receive cur letters and newspapers, and any saving of time would be bailed with great satisfaction by ourselves and the public —Express. FATAL ACCIDENT TO AN OFFICER.— CANTERRURY, MON DAY —Last evening a sad accident occurred here to a young cornet of the 7th Dragoon Guards, of the name of Richard Charles Echalaz, which has terminated in his death, which took place this morning shortly after five o'clock. It appears that the deceased, with several other officers, went on a visit to Herne Bay. They were return ing in the evening, on horseback, and had reached the Sturry-road, about half a mile from the cavalry barracks, when they increased the speed at evh!ch they were pro ceeding Here there is a turnpike gate known as the Vauxhall gate. They attempted to leap the gate, in which the fiest horse succeeded ; but the second, upon which the deceased was riding, missed, caught his fore legs in the top bar, and went a complete sumatetsault, falling with great force upon the unfortunate young man. At this moment, it is stated, a third horse dashed on to the deceased, as he lay on the ground, and threw its rider, who narrowly escaped sustaining a vary serious injury ; as it was, his head was injured, and he was very much shaken. Cornet Echalaz was removed to the barracks almost in a lifeless stste. The poor young man lingered until the following morning, when he expired. At the nquest held on Wednesday, a verdict of " accidental death" was returned. Exclusively for CIATHING BOYS from Six to Twenty Tears LEWIS & COMPANY.

MENTAL, CORMERCIAL, AND POLITICAL DERANGEMENT, RESULTING FRONE DRUNKENNESS. The being who is legally subjected to the will of another can never exercise the noblest prerogative of man, that of governing himself by his own will, and the intellectual and moral degradation, not only of the negro, but of every race whose reduction to servitude is recorded in history, is the necessary consequence of this privation. Who that thoughtfully contemplates the state of the man who Ins given himself tip to the indulgence of intoxicating drinks can refrain from perceiving that in the enslavement of his will to the dominion of his own passions he:has voluntarily delivered himself to the tyranny of a master as cruel and inexorable as any the records of slavery can p.ssibly furnish. [lf the reader had seen what I witnessed on Satur day, the 26th of September last, a fellow creature, who, twenty-four hours after was a corpse, first asking for intoxicating drinks, then ex Calming if the poison was out of him he should get better, thus ad mitting—being a puhlican— that he was a dealer in poison. Well did John Wesley describe dealers in spirits, poisoners general. lam sure he would feel a longing for the universal adoption of total abstinence principles, that unfortunate victims of slcholic drinks might be restored to that liberty they have so blindly relingnished and which they so impatiently craved.] America is declaring that alchollc drinks are a mental, commercial, and political evil, and adopting total abstinence principles by commu nities, and is it not time for Great Br.tain to be up and doing, to be preparing the public mind for a general adoption of the same enobling and elevating principles. The people of England cannot long legally be permitted to make themselves slaves, nay, insane; the legislature must, ere long, prohibit the conversion of men's regulated passions into cruel and head.trong tyrants, and their higher feelings into abject and debased sieves, by the operation of alcohol on the physical, and, through it, on the moral nature of beings made in the image and likeness of their Creator. It is the boast of modern science that its decisions are based on facts. Three centuries ago Lord Bacon taught men to abandon their mere conjectures and fancies about the properties of matter and the laws of the universe, and to go into the school of nature as little chldren. " Would we unders'and the material world," said his lord— ship, " we should not consult our imaginations, but should rather bring ogether facts and instances, examine them in all possible lights and aspects, and then draw from them such general truths as are involved in them." Bebre this rule all wild theories vanish at once. As science accepts no theory, even the most captivating and brilliant, that is not a proper induction from ascertained and acknowledged facts, I propose to collect and Von proceed to the examination of facts an,l incidents, in order, if possible, to show wherein the evils of drunkenness consist, and how those evils are produced. The extent of mental derangement, resulting from drunkenness could never be conceived by the hulk of mankind, nor even credited when dec ared, oa any other than the most certain authorities. Dr. Abernethy dwells on this important subject with his usual force. The stomach and liver, he contends, have a most powerful and sym pathetic influence upon the nerves, by means of nervous connection. This is a new theory in modern discovery; it was familiar to the medical schools of ancient Greece, that nervous derangement affected the mind. The stomach, it Is obvious, must exert a decided influence upon the mind, since it and the brain are connected by nerves. That dreadful affection known as the delerium tremens has its seat in the sympath etic nerves of that organ. In demonstrating that drunkenness produces mental derangement. I shall confine myself in a great measure to evidence given before Par liamentary Committees, iiln-trative of the fact that the use of fer mented liquors, and particularly of spirits, is injurious to the mind. Dr. Ellis stated to a Parliamentary Committee appointed to inquire into the cause of lunacy, that the use of intoxicating liquor, and especially spirits, is conducive in a very remarkable manner to the bringing on of lunacy. It first of all acts on the stomach, then on the nervous system; it brings on diseased action, disorganisation of the brain is tke consequence, and all the dreadful results of insanity follow. Of twenty-eight cases admitted into the Middlesex Asylum, at Hanwell, nineteen were drunkards, and to this evil habit I attri buted thel- insanity. In ail, there were 570 inmates in the asylum, and, taking the fact of nineteen to twenty-eight as the basis of calculation, there would be in that rate 400 lunatic paupers maintained in the asylum, at the cost of the ratepayers, through drankenne a. The Bishop of London, in giving evidence before the same Par_ liamentary Committee, and refer.ing to the Liverpool Asylum, Mk' that, out of 400 lunatics admitted from time to time, 257 It was ascertained on unquestionable authority had lost God's beat gift to man—reason—through excessive drinking. God made us and not we ourselves, and He nas given us capacities and a thirst for happiness, but both experience and observation teach us that we can neither please God nor realise the enjoyment of true happiness by the exercise of those faculties if we indulge in intoxicat ing drinks. Is it not lamentable, then, that they are debarring so many thousands at this moment of the human race, the enjoyment of that happiness God in His great goodness designed them to possess. It to al abstinence principles did not pencil the filly of the valley, or give ..Solomon his glory, they thro.v a halo around the poor drunkard, and reflect the high capabilities of the min for the enjoy ment of true happiness. They say to him—" Seek of God the gift of the Holy S e irit, that you may know the love of His ion," and thus the deadly wou .d drunkenness hath inflicted is healed, and he who was the slave of his worse than beastly passion is pat in possession of Chris tian liberty, and would not go back to drunkenness for worlds. A witness, in connection with Richmond Asylum, Dublin, stated to a Parliamentary Committee, that out of 286 patients 115 it was ascer tained, on the most indubitable evidence, had become insane through excessive drinking of whiskey. Dr. Halarum, of Cork Asylum, deposed to the same committee, that he had ascertained that ont of 286 patients 133 had become deranged through excessive drinking. The following statistics show that insanity exists in all countries In the ratio of drunkenness :—la Hovland and Belgium, the consumption of intoxicating drinks is two gallons to every individual, and there is one lunatic to every 3,000 of the people ; is France, the consumption is five gallons to every individual, and there is one lunatic to every 600 of th 3 people ; in Normandy, three and a half gallons of intoxi cating drinks are consumed by each individual, and there is one lunatic to every 750 of the people ; in America, three gallons are consumed by each, and there is a lunatic to every 650 of the people; in England, three gallons are consumed by each, and there is a lunatic to every 800 of the people; in Scotland, four ga'lons are consumed by arch, and there is a lunatic to every 670 of th 3 people; in Ireland, unfortunately, there is a greater consumption of intoxi cating drink than any part of Europe, nera arc five and a half gallons consumed by every man, woman, and child, at least that amoaat in proportion to population, and there is in that drunken and dissipated country one lunatic to every 550 of the people. Need we wonder at Irishmen, carrying this demoralising propensity with:them brutalizing every country afflicted with them. The moral history of a beggar, which faithfully unveils the interior movements of the mind and lays open the ze,ret causes which con tribute to form and determine the character will enlarge and enlighten the minds of the philosopher, and I , ap,,y shell 1 be if I can succeed in revealing the secret workings or Alcoholic drinks, which hare contributed to form, degrade, and determine the ruin of thou sands, so as to arouse in the mind of the Christian, the philanthro_ phis!, the citizen, and the patriot, a due sense of their duty in reference to the thousands of immortal souls, in Englani, on the vortex of nev.:r-ending destruction, and to a vigorous det,rmivation to diffuse the elevating and enobliug principles of total abatinenco, as the only means of rescuing them from the abject slavery of drunken ness and destruction, The following inc dent, copied Coin the London Times newspaper, Is an alt illustration of the fearful e ffects intortcatlng drinks have upon the mind e—" Evan Jones, a sailer, was brought up from the County Prison (before the magistrates) where he had been confined all night, having voluntarily coafessed that he had perpetrated a murder in Wales. A gentleman deposed to the magistrates that the prisoner the preiibus day conducted himself la a very ext-aordinary manner, having attempted to throw himself under a cart wheel, he, In conseque❑ce, gave him into the custody of the police. When is the station house it was evident that he had been drinking; he exhibited great dispondency, and announced himself a murderer to tranquilize his mind, emd then entered into a very minute detail of partica'ars of the crime, and conclude I by de:lariag that he ought to be executed." It, however, turned out that the confession was the effect merely of mental delusion, resulting from nervous derengemont, after drinking a week. I will give another case, which came under mybwn observation : A man who had been drinking a fortnight; and all means of procuring more drink being exhausted, came to me to solicit employment; out f pity for the man, and with a view to reclaim him, I sent him into the field to plough , in a short time I followed, kßowirig his sad condition, to see how he was getting o i.. After I hal walked some time by the plough he cried out, "don't you sea he's coming," and boundod across the field and speedily ascended a tree, from which 1 c staid only 'induce him, after much difficulty, to desceild by the promise of drink, and that I would take care that the ima inary pillsonke should not carry him off with him. This was a ;other illusion resulting from nervous derangement after excessiva drinking. These morbid ideas, after inveterate drinking, present themselves t the mind in various ways. The victim of Alcoholic drink, it may be, in the first place, bears imaginary conversations, experiences extreme depression of spirits, irratiollity of temps, strange thoughts respect ing those whom he ordinarily loves, dark visions of future ruin flit before him. Spectral illusions, such as thcse I have aliudedto, pass before his view, it seems as if the devil, load sent his ugly and deformed legions to glory over his victory. • These groups of imaginary fiends. differing in number, in colour, and size, es they do in ugly defoi mity, and in their grimaces and antic-sled)? is converted into a black cat, •r a boot into te bear, and to repel their imagioary assaults brings the THE N ORTHERN TIMES. LIVERPOOL, THURS DAY, NOVEMBER 26 1587• victim of hellish drink into contact with an Iron pillar, or may be a stone wall. I must stop here, and ask that being who has unfortu nately experienced this illusion to fill up this taint outline. If there be not, however, sufficient healthy vigour of mind to rise above what perhaps may be merely the diversion of innocent flies, the repeated shocks of this fearful disease will completely pro,trate the spirit, and the victim suffers a terrible death. I knew a young man who, when labouring under this dreadful malady of drunkenness, the delirium tremens, that had a strange delusion. Me went to the minister, the Rev. Miles Formby, at Melling, and told him that God had sent for him, that he must die that night. The Rev. gentleman perceiving the state of his mind sent his coachman with him home, with instructions to his friends to look after him. Ey some means this unfortunate victim of Alcoholic drink was found drowned next morning, in a small pool of water very near his own door. The following will illustrate, to some extent, the dreadful sufferings endured by the victims of this appalling malady. The medical gentleman who attended the unfortunate man detailed the circum stance to me. The unhappy man addressing the doctor, said—l know there is no hope for me; I must die, and it cannot matter much to you whether I die sooner or later. You have talked to me of the glories of Heaven and the pains of Hell ; yon have been exceedingly kind; but oh, doctor, for Heaven itself I would not go through the horrors of another night such as I passed last night—Hell itself cannot be worse than what I suffered. Now, dear doctor, if you know of anything that willi kill me at once, I entreat you to give it me, no one will know; it will be the greatest favour ever you did a poor soul. I told him the utter impossibility of my being guilty of so awful a crime, but promised to send him something. I called next morning, and was informed that he died at three o'clock, after suffer ing considerable agony. Drunkard, escape far thy life, flee for refuge t o total abstinence principles, lest a similar end be thy portion. Such is the drunkard's death. How different is the death of the Christian. I remember once seeing an aged Saiat die, and just before the spiri t took its flight he was asked if he had any doubt in the ♦alley. Doubt, he said, with a smile on his countenance, which I shall never forget—doubt, with Jesus with me; oh, no, and immediately expired. Happy is the death of the Christian, while that of the drunkard is the extreme—lnto blackness of darkness, the abode of the lost, where there is weeping, wailing, and gnashing of teeth. The following painful incident show.' that tho offspring of drunken parents participate in the evils resulting from drunkenness, and ought to be a sufficient warning to paren a neither to touch, taste, or handle the cursed thing. In a small town in Suffolk two cousins came into possession of some property at the death of a relative. They were married, and lived on it, and spent their time chiefly in muddling themselves with drink — generally going to bed intoxicated ; they had four children, and every one of them were idiots of the very worst kind. The wife of an amiable and useful clergyman in Staffordshire was the victim of intoxicating drinks, so much so, that she had frequently to be carried to bed in a beastly state of intoxication. Every effort of the distressed husband to reclaim her were unavailing, She died of that dreadful malidy of dra akenne is, the delirium tremens, leaving three children all idiots. Such instances warrant the conclusion, that parents, habitually drinking, will bring children into the world - having the human exte rior, bat inwardly resembling the lowest orders of creation, partaking both of man and brute, while many, very many, moderate drinkers are sowing in their constitutions the se ds of insanity that will gene rate in their offsprin:, and cause them to be cut off from friends and home, and to inhabit the dark cells of the asylum—the sad and dreary abode of the insane. Oct of 95 admitted into the Liverpool Asylum in fourteen months, 50 hal become insa ,e through drunken ness. It connot be denied that drunkenness involves slay.ry, com pared with which the condition of the nsgro under the very lash, or of the convict in the hulks, may be considered comparative freedom. for thus the body only is enslaved, but drunkenness enslaves body, mind, and heart. .

DARING ESCAPE of A CONVICT.—On Tuesday morning informs ion was received that James Whately, a convict under sentence of six years' penal servitude, had during the night broke out of the convict prison air Portsmouth and got clear away Whately is a most desperate fellow; he was committed for burglary from Worship street Police Court, and convicted at the Central Criminal Court on the s:h January this year, and is well known about Bunhitl row. MYSTERIOUS DISAFPEARkNCE —On Friday evening last week, a man named Chisholm, shepherd, Bl kedean, left Kelso market for the purpose of getting home early, and proposed to call at Lempitlaw in passing. He was last observed at the end of the Bridge. Since then he has neither been seen nor heard of Fears are entertained that he may have missed his footing or fallen into the water.

Mr. Anderson, the agent of the Oriental Bank at Kil more, was "stuck up" on the night of the 26th of August, while driving to Melbourne in a dog cart, containing about 200ozs. of gold, and bank notes to the value of £3,000. His assailants, four in number, dragged him from the cart, bound him to a tree with ropes, and drove off with their booty. He remained in this position all night, and was in a state of exhaustion when released. The perpetrators of the outrage are still at large.—Melbourne Argus. WRECK OFF Beecaroote—On Sunday afternoon, a small schooner named the Pride, bound from one of the Irish ports for Liverpool, struck on the Salthouee bank, oppo site South Shore, Blackpool, and it is feared she will become a total wreck. Soon after she struck, a nteamer went to her assistance, but was unable to get her off. The vessel remained on the bank during Sunday, but on that night a strong wind sprung up and drove the vessel over the bank to wards the beach. She was expected to go to pieces yesterday. The crew quitted the schooner immediately she struck the bank, and fortunately suc ceeded in reaching the shore in safety. The vessel was freighted with 126 tons of meal, part of which was saved in the course of Monday, but the remainder was lost in consequence of the gale which sprung up on Monday night SuICIDI FROM EXCEsSIvE GRIEF FOR THE Loss OF A CIIiLD—On Thursday an inquiry took place on view of the body of Mrs. Ashley, aged 3S, who committed suicide by taking vitriol.

She came into the witness's room, and said, " Good bye, Mr. and Mrs O'Brien, I have lost my precious child, and lam going to join her in the grave"—at the same time the pre: r woman drank the poison out of a cup. Witness ran for a surgeon, and while he was gone, the deceased threatened to cut his wife's throat with a large knife, saying, "If you will not cut my throat, I will yours."

FRANCE AND THE SOUND Dens —The Mon iteur pub lishes an Imperial decree promulgating the special conven tion relative to the Sound Dies concluded on the 28th of September, 1857, between France and Denmark. The ratifications were exchanged on the 33.1 of Oct )ber. France has to pay to Denmark, as an indemnification for the dues formerly levied in the Sound and Belts, the sum of 1,"19,003 rigsdale-s, in 40 half-yearly payments, with 4 per cent interest on the unpaid portion. The amount of this decreasing interest is to be capit and added, on the sinking fund principle, to the sum of the 40 half. yearly payments specified, which will thus amount for each instalment to 44 561 566 1000 rigsdalers. The first payment is fixed for the Ist of October, 1857 ; !he second on the let of April, 1858; and so en unto the Ist of April 1877. A PRESTONIAN KILLED ON THE RAILWAY AT FLEETWOOD. —On Monday evening, soon after five o'clock, a shocking accident occurred to a ship carpenter, as he was crossing the timber yards near the railway station on the Preston and Wyre Railway, at Fleetwood, by which he was almost instantly deprived of life It appeared that after the arrival of the train at Fleetwood, which left Preston at 3 50 p on Monday the engine was being run cut of the station when the engine driver, observing a man c, ossing the rails a little in advance. sounded his whistle, and shouted to him to get off the line It is supposed that the man, becoming confused, was unable to get out of the way of the engine, and was k-ocked down by one of the buffers and run over. He was picked uo immediately, but did not survive many minutes, We understand that the deceased has left a widow and seve:al children, and was sixty-three years of ego. — A TERRIBLE DEATH —Rec ntly, in St. John's, New Br niwick on a dark night, a man walked off one of the whAtvc sin th-lt ci y, when the tide was out. He groped his way along in the mu t, ku , instead of taking a course which would ex ' ricate him from his unpleasant predicament, he wandered up among the piles beneath the wharf, where, of course, he became more b.. wildcred than ever. The rising tide made him conscious cf his ealger, and by shouts and noise he was enabled to attract the attention of persons psssing in the vicinity, but too late for success. As the tide rose he climbed to the top of the piles, end through a small aperture in the wharf, sufficient for one of his arms, he wt.s enabled to info m them of his situation. His position and feelings can be imagined when the water was every moment arising around him, and he could not be extricated. He shook hands wi:h his friends, passed through the hole all the money and valuables he had about his person, and just as the water was closing over him, after giving some directions concerning his family, be We his friends good bye, and the gurgling water beneath annotac( cl that all was over. His body was recovered when the tide receded. At LEWIS & COMPANY'S, Ranalagh-atxeet. BOYS are 01.0111rD from the Agee of Sta to Twenty Tears. REV. JOHN MACNAUGHT IN REPLY TO THE REV. J. K. GLAZEBROOK. TO THE EDITOR OF THE NORTHERN TIMES. Sir,—ln reply to the third paragraph of my first letter to you, Mr. Glazebrook publishes two columns in your paper of this morning. The question at issue is, whether the text " Thy Word is Truth" is equi ♦alent to Mr, G.'s paraphrase of it—the Bible is infallible. Mr, G. finds great fault with me, for considering the terms 0 Thy word," (John, 17, 17,) synonymous with the terms, "The word of God.'► He describes the former expression as specifically different from the latter. Wiil Mr. Glazebrook be so good as to tell us whose word, if not the word of God, is referred to in John, 17, 17 ? I have already shown that in such texts as By the word of the Lord were the heavens made," "In the beginning was the word, and the word was with God, " and the word was God," the expression " the word'' or " the word of the Lord" cannot mean the Bible. Hence it follows, that by " God's word" something different from the Bible is, at least occasionally, signified in Scripture ; and, therefore, in the text" Thy word is truth," men ought not, as Mr. Glazebrook does, to assume that God's Nord means the Bible, but, rather, we ought to enquire, in each passage of Scripture, what is the true signification of this important phrase God's Word." Prelisely to this effect my esteemed friend Professor Williams says, in one of his sermons before the University of Cambridge, " Let not the natural metaphor, by which men call a sacred record ' the Word of God,' ever blind us to the fact, that no text has been found from Genesis to Revelations, in which this holy name is made a synonym for the entire volume of Scripture." • * * * "Most commonly in the New Testament, the phrase Word of God means the Gospel of Christ, or the glad tidings of the Mes siah being come?" And, again, in a note to the same sermon, the learned Professor adds, wiLh reference to his '- having said positively that nowhere in Holy Scripture is the term Word of God' made an equivalent or synonym for the Bible," " I did not make up my own mind on this specific point until after a consideration extending over many years." Thus, sir, it appears, by the general testimony of Scripture usage, and by the authority of an accomplished and scholarly divine, who has given his special attention to this point, that Mr. Glaze brook is not quite sure to be right —nay, that he is, in all probability, wrong—when he declares that, in John xvii. 17, Thy Word" means " the Bible." But, sir, I will go further than this, and will show that in this very text, which Mr. Glazebrook has chosen as his stronghold, the term " Thy Word" means, clearly and unmistakeably, some thing else than the Bible, viz., the word or teaching which God had sent Jesus to announce to the Apostles and to the world. On reading, in John xvii., " Thy Word is truth," wo should remember that the phrase does not occur there for the first time in John's Gospel. Frequently has the Saviour already used, illus trated, and explained, this identical phrase. For instance, only three verses above that (rioted, He says (John xvii, 1.4)—" I have given them Thy Word." Had Jesus given the Apostles either the Old or the New Testament portion of the Bible ? Manifestly not. The Old Testament they possessed before the Lord came. The New Testament was not written for a considerable time after the Saviour's death. Jesus had not, in any sense, given the Bible to the Apostles ; yet He truly says, He had given them " Thy (i.e., God's) Word." Hence, " Thy Word" (John xvii, 14, 17) does not mean the Bible, but means something different from the Bible. As to what this great and sacred expression, from the lips of our Master, really means, we are not left in doubt or necessary ignorance ; for, on remembering other kindred utterances of our Lord, we perceive how he said (John xiv., 23, &c.) : "If a man love me, he will keep my words ; and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him. He that loveth me not, keepeth not my sayings (Loyous, i.e., words, in the original Greek), and the word which you hear is not mine, but the Father's, which sent me.' Thus does Jesus Himself declare what he meant by " Thy e , God's) Word," viz., not the Bible, as Mr. Glazebrook erroneously asserts, but his own teaching, or " sayings,'.' or words" (Logous, of the Greek Testament). And, in case even this testimony should no suffice, I may remind your readers, yet further, that (John xii., 45, &I) Christ said, " He that rejecteth me and iweiveth not my words (Rhemata, in the Greek) hath one that judgeth him : the word (Ho logos) that I have spoken, the same shall judge him in the last day. For I have not spoken of mysef ; but the Father, which sent me, gave me a commandment what I should say and what I should speak. And I know that His command ment is life everlasting : whatsoever I speak, there fore, even as the father said unto me, so I speak " Thus clearly does our Lord inform us, if we will only hearken to his teaching, as reported by the Apostle John, that " Thy Word," i n J o h n xv ii. 17, is not a synonym for the Bible, but is equivalent to the phrase, " The sayings which Thou, 0 God, host commanded me to speak." Of these " sayings," or teachings, Jesus declares that they are true, or, which is the same thing, that they aro " truth." Surely this, which is Christ's own explanation of the text, " Thy Word is truth," is very different from saying, " Tha Old Testament, which the Jews have long possessed, and the New Testament, which some of my followers shall hereafter write, arc, anti shall be, infallible." Christ really said, "My Gospel doctrine, which is Thy Word, or teaching, 0 God, is truth." He does not say any thing in this passage, at all events, about the Bible or infallibility. Thus, sir, whether we regard the general usage of the Scriptural expression, " The Word," i. e " the word of the Lord," or whether we listen to the deliberate teaching of Professor Williams, or whether we observe our Lord's own exposition of Mr. Glazebrook's favourite text, in each case the result, with reference to our controversy, is the same. It appears plainly that when Jesus said, " Thy word is Truth," He made no allusion to the Bible, or to infallibility ; but He simply declared that His religion, as He Himself spoke forth its teachings, was from God and was true. So much for Mr. Glazebrook's argument as based on John xvii. v. 17. lam glad that his line of thought has afforded me an opportunity of explain ing what is the true and scriptural signification of a simple but important text. I regret to find that Mr. Glazebrook still delays to recal the grave charges of blasphemy which he has so groundlessly alleged against me. I regret that the reverend gentleman still helps out the weakness of his argument by the strength of such epithets for me as "Judas" and the like. Once mare, for the third time, I invite Mr. Glazebrook, candidly, in justice, and as he ♦alues his character of a Christian and a gentleman, to reoal these terms, and to desist from employing them or terms similar to them. Yours, truly, sir, JOHN MACNAUGHT Evertor, Nov. 25th, 1857. writing the above, I have met with the following important corroborative testimony extracted from a recent oharge by the Bishop of L'andaff His Lordship writes, "that the phrase ' Word of God' in the New Testament means not the volume of written Scripture, but the doctrine of divine revelation taught in Holy Scripture, can scarcely be doubted by any competent critic."
