NOTE THE ADDRESS:- THE NORTHERN TIMES.-LIVERPOOL, WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 26, 1857. NUMBER THREE, CHURCH GUN MAKERS, BY APPOINTMENT, TO HIS ROYAL HIGHNESS PRINCE ALBERT, THE SULTAN OF TURKEY, AND THE PASHA OF EGYPT. STREET. J OSEPH BENTLEY AND SON, INVENTORS, PATENTEES, AND MANUFACTURERS OF CENTRAL FIRE, BREECH-LOADING, AND REVOLVING GUNS, RIFLES, AND PISTOLS, 6, SOUTH CASTLE-STREET, (NEAR ST. GECIRGE'S CHURCH). .1. B. and S. having for many years past made it their study (regardless of labour and expense) to produce such improve ments in firearms as shall Combine Safety, Simplicity, and Quickness of Fire, and for which improvements Bolsi Letters Patent were granted to them in 1837, 1844, 1851, 1852, 1853, and 1855. J. B. and S. beg to request that Sportsmen, before purchasing Guns for the approaching Season, will favour them with a visit, to inspect their productions, which for workmanship, finish, and style cannot be excelled. J. B. and S. in particular beg to call the attention of the sporting world to their Central Ere Gun, which, after tan years' trial, proves itself to be one of the greatest improvements of the age. Amongst the many of its advantages it: ay be enumerated the following, viz. ;—The nipples are so protected and sheltered by the lockplates overhanging them that a mis-fire is next to impossible. Less Rec,il, whilst greater force is obtained by the flame of the cap being driven direct into the body or centre of the powder. Lastly, SAFETY. The cocks or hammers of ordinary guns have too frequently been caught by fences, briars, Ric , and accidents of a fatal kind resulted ; this is entirely obviated in the Central Fire Gun, on account of the position or formation of the cocks or hammers ; an inspection will convince any one of this important fact. It is admitted on all bands that Safety is the great desideratum in the sports of the field ; this the Central Fire Gun possesses to an eminent degree. J. B. AND S. BREECH-LOADING RIFLE.—At a recent trial at Birebneld, Barracks in the presence of the Officers stationed there, they pronounced it to be the simplest and most efficient Breech Loader ever invented, it beteg LOADED, CAPPED, and DISCHARGED 25 times in 4i minutes. Also, DOUBLE-BARRELED SHOT GUNS, on the Breech-Loading principle. The numerousdistingnislted patrons of the above establishment will be sufficient guarantee for the quality of their productions gar Guns, Rifles, and Revolving Pistols of every make.

I have under taken the task, also, of depicting the condition of numerous families and individuals whom it would almost appear that Providence had ordained should drink deeply of the cup of sorrow and Ufliction. And let it not be supposed that I have been netitllessly exaggerating such deplorable misfortunes—such odious practices of slavery so con tinually carried on around us. " Misfortune," it is said, " cuts with a two-edged sword," and true it is, for the experience of many will have taught them that when once the grim -visaged monster, affliction, shows its face in a circle, like a pestilence, its infectious breath seems to spread death and misery on every side. It is seldom satiated with a single victim. But are not such misfortunes too often the result of impropriety of conduct ? Let us examine. We all know what it is to be carried away by the irresistible influence of any violent passion—how excitement and the impulse of a predomi nantafeeling will intuitively lead some men on to act in a manner from which, in calmer moments, they would 'have shrunk with repugnant horror ; and when awakened from the feverish dream by the presence of stern reality, how astounding must appear the conduct which they have so rashly pursued. Sir, vice, whatever may be its nature, invariably brings a man under a slavish dependance, on external circum stances. It renders him abject, cowardly—in short, -a slave. Having once allowed passion to gain the ascendant, he has thrown himself into a torrent - , and though he may faintly struggle, the stream bears him along—he does not go, but he is driven forward, agitated and impelled— passive, like a ship, to the violence of the waves! And can there be a greater sorrow, a sight more heartrending, than to see a "pleasant vessel" glide away in all its beauty and perfection, and return shattered and broken, its loveliness departed, its sails torn and drooping, flut tering in the treacherous winds, which before had so proudly swelled them, its treasures wasted on the ocean which restoreth not again. Yes, we may learn to feel there is that, far worse for those we lov e than death, that living in death, that withering of the heart "like, grass," the bleeding of the wounds from the broken reeds on which the victim leant only ;to be pierced; the ago nising spectacle of a disappointed, blighted, broken heart. Have we never seen this picture exemplified in the case of the enthusiastic, inveterate gamester ? Who has not witnessed the pale cheeks, the contracted brow, eyes once bright and sparkling, now dim and blood shot; the trembling hand., the nervous, embarrassed manner— who has not seen, by all these unmistakeable signs, that the poison is doing its work? It is a loathsome sight to watch even the snares by which the poor fly is decoyed into the wily spider's web, and then to note every faint, and fainter struggle, every quiver of the defenceless vic tim, as it perishes under tae destroyer's grasp. Most young beginners who are led on to " play" have, generally speaking. a brief run of luck, and so infatuated do they become by their success, that day and night they are to be found at their deadly post, maddened by the effects of wines and spirits, with which it is their wont to fortify themselves for the agitation caused by the per nicious work in which they are engaged, and becoming by degrees the prey of the rapacious sharks of the very lowest description, at the billiard rooms, and other gambling houses in Liverpool and elsewhere Sem , may entertain doubts as to whether billiard playing should come under the class of gambling. Certainly it does. What else can it be called ? and rest assured if young men are allowed to frequent such places, as well may a hungry tiger be let loose amongst a crowd, and expect it not to deveur ' as foster for a moment in the mind the absurd notion that they will handle the cue' withcut risking their stake— without joining in all the dissipation which springs up is those hot beds of destruction. This is no exaggeration. It is so far true that when once the incautious youth gives himself up to that infatu ating game, his ruin is looming in the distance; when once his foot has dipped into the magic stream, whose property it is to draw irresistibly into its tide the unfortunate vic tim who ventures on the slippery bank, then all is over with him, for he will glide away incautiously out of his depth and sink, deeper and deeper, till he is sucked into its roaring waters, there so far to perish as to be imbedded in its innumerable shoals and quicksands. It is a common saying, sir, after thousands have been lost at the gaming table, " I will play only once more, and try to win back my money, and then I will fly from further temptation." Once more ! how often are these two simple words the bait which lures man on to destruction. Like the hound which has once tasted the blood of prey, he thirsts to drink of it again; once more he plays, and faster and faster hurries on to the fatal precipice. impelled for ward by those who had conspired his ruin, till at last he loses his foo'ing and is hurled headlong into the deep abyss. Such a man must feel that he is a wretch—must feel tbat he has become despicable in his own sight—sen sible, as he must be, that all good men have reason to hate him. And can it be wondered at, when conscience so vividly brings to his remembrance the reckless tenor of his past life—when his sins are ever held before his view ? Hence the haggard look, the restless couch—days never free from bitterness, and nights given up to remorse— crushed hopes—vain regrets of the past. He becomes nothing else but a solitary being on the face of the earth ; the treasures he once possessed are irrevocably lost to him, nothing is left for him save to do battle with gnawing rats, or, what is still worse, to endure his own bitter and gnawing thoughts. Such is the lot of the ruined gambler. Seeing, then, the immoral tendency which gambling exercises over its victims, should it be left to cure itself? No such thing. Gambling is not trading. It is a vice, ruinous alike to public and private morals. The result of every industrial pursuit is increase—something gained. All the objects of value which come under our notice, have been produced by the united efforts of industry. But gambling produces nothing but wretchedness and crime. A dozen men might gamble for a whole lifetime, and at the day of their death not be worth a sixpence. Conduct of this sort is not less profitless than mischievous in the extreme. It distracts the mind from every useful pursuit, and if money and time be thus squandered away, society will most unquestionably retrograde. On this account, the law should be more stringent in discountenancing gaining houses of every description. After reviewing the baneful influence caused by this lamentable evil, and other crushing evils equally as viru lent in their effects upon the human mind, how much, indeed, does the happiness and dignity of a young man's future destiny depend on the society he forms, and come quentlythe impression he imbibes on his first entrance into the world? Then should it not be a most important duty devolving upon every parent to see and watch over the io t n a p s ct t rh e aye s tnee a nn e und d pgeo d ant n i v s oe p t unh o r s e nt t rof i omi budding;hs aeokte presenttthh e a itntlnterestingage.experiment, tcaehrpl Well a s s o i n ist g class— the disciplined kindness, it appears to me, is the only way in which to e o s u Id an b d e so far uniformly and cautiously acted up to, that it may be appreciated, and tend ultimately to their future wel fare. But some parents, appear to lose sight of their children altogether. They imagine when they have arrived at a certain age they are quite capable of taking care of themselves ; that when they have once left school they require no further looking after, no further admoni tory aid, and t n ots. , so . • aae mere ever a greater mistake than this. 'Why it is rnontrous, and absurd in the ex treme, to suppose it. 'When a young man leaves school what are the first impulses bf his nature Is he not puffed up with all kinds of speculations and day-dreams for the future ? Almost the first craving he experiences is to intermix with the busy out-of-door world, in order to see what is going on. He cannot rest quiet, he must be on the move, and woe betide him if he has no one to restrain him. You may rely upon it, sir, there is not a more trying time for a young man than the first few years after he leaves school—between eighteen and twenty-one. There is no age at which the formation of the mind, from common circumstances, goes on so rapidly as in the transition state between youth and manhood, as at this period of his life he is thoughtless, eager, trusting, expecting. Now, a word or two with young men, and I have done. Whatever situation in life you may be called upon to fulfil, let neither mistakes nor wrong directions, of which many persons iu the prosecution of their daily avocations, or in searching after amusements, will fall into occasion ally—discourage you. There •is often preelous instruc tion, let it. be borne in mind , to be got, by finding that we are wrong.' a But do not go wrong if you can possibly help it. Try faithfully, manfully, to be right, and yon will grow daily more and more right. It is in one sense, the knowing that we are wrong in some things, the con dition on which all men have to cultivate themselves. Our very walking is an incessant falling—a falling and a catching of ourselves before we come actually to the o nieotnons:ftd you find either expressly or i vations have many; laid d tna to l I ta t it i h s fu e l m ly bl w em ha a t t s i o c ev o e f r all i t n h g i nigns a man does. your charge ; that is yo u r posts stand in s i of it, t like a serail ue tacitlyy r soldier. you aim not to Silently devour the many quit it without d o ing all that it req u ired ofman an d see often perfe c t s himself by work mre than by read a growing kind of men that can . chagrin ins.
