MANSFIELD, Ass .ULT.—Patrick Glynn, a very large man, who said he had just come from America, by the City of Baltimore, was charged with being disorderly at Tithbarne-street station. The prisoner, it seemed, was intoxicated, and acted very disorderly, when the officials interfered with him he knocked them down and kicked them, tearing the coat off one of them. He was sentenced to pay a fine of £2 for the damage to the office s clothes. and a fine of .C 5 for the assault, or be imprisoned for three months. SUPPRESSION or Bev HousEs.—Elizabeth Harris, the keeper of a house of ill repute at J, Curtis-street, Park, was charged wish keeping the said house. Several wit nesses were examined, and fully proved the case, and the prisoner was committed for trial. John Nolan, a labourer, was remanded on a charge of having stolen an alapaca umbrella, which was found with him, and for which he could not account. DxSTITUTION.—Ann Harrison, a miserable looking creature, was put to the bar, when Bridewell-keeper Slack, said she came to the Station and told him that she had stolen a pair of drawers from a shop in Whitechapel, and pledged them , that she had been a returned convict, and that she was in great distress. She was sent to the Work house. STREET ROBBERY.—' RATHERLY" DRUNK.—John Wil liams, described as the keeper of a bad house in Greetham street, was charged with having robbed a gentleman named John Makay, of a gold watch, at the corner of Sawney Pope-street, about 10 o'elock the previous evening. Mr William Manual, who said he was in the employment of the City of Dublin Steam Packet Company stated, that at the hour in question he saw the prisoner and prosecutor at the corner of Adisson-street, the latter was very much in liquor, and witness saw the prisoner put his hand into complainants pocket and chuck something out of it, but did not see what it was. Cross examined by Mr. Bluck (for the prisoner) : I am sure he took something from his pocket, but I can't tell what it was. He was taken up in three or four minutes after, and I never lost sight of him from the time he chucked some thing from the pocket ; the man was searched, but there was nothing found. There was a crowd about them, but there were no girls speakin g with t h e prosecutor b e f ore the prisoner joined him. Mr. John Makay proved that the prisoner took his watch as: described. Mr. Bluck What are you, sir ? Nothirg. Mr. Bluck : An indepen dent gentleman? Witness: Oat of business. I live at Chestereolace, Birkenhead. Mr Blink : Were you drunk, sir? Witness: " Batherly." (Loud laughter) I was not in company with any girls before the prisoner came up to me. I did not see him take the watch, but I felt him taking it. It wee worth £l3. Mr. Bluck contended that as the man was so drunk, no dependance could be placed on his evidence. The prisoner had been searched and nothing found, neither was there any one to whom he could have passed the watch, for Mr. Mulhall had sworn that he never lost sight of the man, so that, if he took the watch, he could not have made away with it. The prisoner was discharged. ROBBERY AT THE LONDON COFFEE Horse, JOIN'S. LANE. —William Pearson, described as a publican, residing in Manchester, was charged with being concerned in robbing a man named Thomas Watkins, of £2O, at Mr. Chalk's public-house, John's-lane Mr. Bluck defended the prisoner. The prosecutor, rather an innocent looking young man, when sworn, was asked by Mr. Clough, What are you ? He replied, I a'n a water man. Mr. Clough : What's a waterman ? Witness : A sailor. He went on to say that be traded between S wan sea and Bristol fir some time peen and that he got paid off lately at Bristol by the captain of the vessel. He had twenty sovereigns and a gold Napoleon, which was taken by him as a sovereign, as he did not mind it at the time. He came here to get a ship to go to Australia, and he put up at Mr. Chalk's London Coffee house. John's-lane. He dined there on Wednesday, and met the prisoner and another man who was along with him (the prisoner) there. They were stopping at the house. Told them he was going to Australia, and they said they were going there too, and asked him had he any money. He did not like to tell them, and he replied not much. After dinner he took from his pocket a small bag, which contained the twenty sovereigns and the gold i c .,:poleen, in order to poy for his dinner. The prisoner and the other man saw the bag and watched it well. They sat at each side of him. He wrote some letters, and was going to the post-office with them, but did not know the way, when the prisoner's comrade proposed to show him the way, and went with him. He proposed, on the way, to give the man a glass of ale for his trouble, and they went into some public-house, the man saying he would pay for the ale. When they got in, the man turned shortly round, and begged his pardon for a moment, and then walked out and he never saw him afterwards. Something struck him and he felt for his bag of money, but it was gone. He went back to Mr. Chalk and reported the fact, and said it was the prisoner and his comrade who robbed him. Mr Block cross examined the witness at much length and with great ingenuity, but the above facts were not altered. Mr. George Harvey, a traveller, who was stopping at Mr. Chalk's, was examined, and the amount of his evidence was, that he heard the complainant say he was robbed of the money, when the prisoner raid to him, " Oh ! perhaps you had not the money." Soon after, the prisoner sent in a gold Napoleon to Mrs. Chalk to get changed, and she sent it to witness to know the value. The prisoner then left the house hastily, and they followed him into Lime-street, where he was arrested, and witness said to the police, "That's the man," when he replied, " What is it to you?— if I have got the money I won it fairly, and it's my own." This witness was also cross-examined at length by Mr. Block, but his testimony was not altered. Mrs. Charles Chalk was then examined, and she gave a lengthy account of the affair, the material portion of which was, that when she heard the prisoner's companion say to the complainant that the prisoner was the captain of the ship who was to take him to Australia, she suspected they were sharpers When the affair about the robbery of the money was spoken of, the prisoner said to her, " We (meaning the prisoner and the man who got away) are good for such houses as your's, so don't split on us, as we have worked the dodge well." The lady was cross.examined by Mr. Black, but ho did not shake her direct evidence. Detective officer Horn said, on searching the prisoner, that he found a gold Napoleon and Bs. on him. Mr. Pluck : Did you find any thing else? Yes, a gold watch and appendages. Mr. Bluck : Such as gentlemen usually wear ? Horn : Not such a gentleman as he is. Mr. Black : Why, he is not known here Mr. Clough : Exeu-e me, he is very well known. Mr. Bluck : It is very unfortunate for some of my respectable clients that they are known here. (Lend laughter.) The prisoner was remanded for a week. DESPERATE RUFFIAN.—WiIIiam Griffiths, a " loafer," was charged with having violently assaulted an elderly lady named Mrs. Topping. It appeared that the lady and a friend of hers were just entering her house in Denison street, when the prisoner rushed at and gave her a des pera,e blow on the forehead, which cut her severely. Surgeon Davies, of the Northern Hospital, said the wound at first looked like an incised one, but, on examining it, he found it was not so, but caused by a blow from the outside, which caused the bone to cut out, and the wound followed the bone. The prisoner said he did not remember anything of what happened, as he was drunk. His Worship censured the conduct of the prisoner, and sent him to jail for six months with hard labour ASSAULT BY A WOMAN.—Catherine Hickey, a resident of Upper Mann.street, was brought up on remand, charged with having committed a desperate assault on another woman named Catherine Macey. The prisoner flung an earthenware vessel out of a window on the head of complainant, and injured her dreadfully. Surgeon Pope proved that the woman was in a serious state for a week, but she was now out of danger. The prisoner was sent to jail for 3 months with hard labour. THE TRAVELLERS.—Denis Tansey, a li, • teed travelling hawker, was charged, along with Ellen, his wife, by officers Povey and McCulloch, of the detective foxes, who said they saw them go into a house in Percy-street, where Mr. Branch was holding an auc ion, and thinking they were not on good intent, they were followed, and the officers watched them for some time, and saw the man put his hand into the pockets of several ladies, but got nothing. At last he took something from the pocket of Mrs Morris, who lives in Smithdown-lane, and handed it to the woman, and they both went out, followed by the officers, who arrested them. In the woman's hand was got ls. 8d , the sum contained in Mrs. Morris's purse, and subsequently the female dropped the purse itself, which was picked up by an officer. The Constable said they got several pawn tickets on the prisoners, that related to property pledged by them up the country. The prisoners were remanded for a week. CHARGE AGAINST AN Ex - POLICEMAN. —WiIIiam Brace; late Police-officer 655, was brought up c h arge d w i t h ill e gally' detaining his uniform clothee, after he was dismissed. It appeared that on the 12th instant he we i dismissed for using improper language to his inspector, and that a notice was served on him to give up his uniform clothes, but he refused to do so, and went to Keswick, where he was arrested. He alleged that there was wages due to him, and that he kept the clothesuntil he was paid. He was sent to gaol for seven days. Richard White, a soldier, belonging to the 39th Regi ment, was sent for trial for stealing 17s from Eliza Stanley, at whose hones he lodged, in Peter street. ESCAPING FROM A REFORMATORY.—A little girl, Emma Westby, was brought up by Povey, the detective police officer, charged with having broken out of the Reformatory Mount Vernon Green. On the 27th Sept , the prisoner and two other girls broke out of the establishment, taking with them abAtt £8 worth of property, and some money. They went by way of Chester to Blanchester, and Warring ton, and sold the clothes they had stolen; subsequently the officer arrested the prisoner in Manchester, where she was at service. He heard she conducted herself very well - here. It seemed she was induced by the other girls, who were described as very wicked, to leave the house. The governess of the house said the committee were willing to take her back again, and she was seat back accordingly. THE NORTHERN TIMES.-LIVERPOOL, FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 27 1587 TRANSFER OF PUBLICANS' LICENSES. A special sessions for the transfer of publicans licenses was held yesterday, at the Court House. Chapel-street. The presiding magistrates were,—The Deputy Mayor Mr. F. Shand, and Mr. R. Sheil. The only case which was brought prominently before the court, was that in which Mr. George Smith Wright applied to have a license transferred from Mr. Cullen, who formerly held a license in Dale-street, to a house which he had recently built in New Wapping. Mr. Aspinall instructed by Mr. Blackhurst, appeared f)r the applicant, and said that he applied for this transfer under rather peculiar circumstances ; it was under the 14th section of the 9th of Geo. IV , which provided that if any house being occupied as a public-house, and being duly licensed, should be taken for any public improvements of the highways, it shall be lawful to regrant another license in lieu of it. Mr. Cullen wes for some time the owner of a licensed house in Dale-street. That property was required for public improvement, and at the time, the corporation had some little altercation as to the value, but ultimately the subject was referred to Mr. Roberts on behalf of Mr. Cullen, Mr. J. Stewart on the part of the corporation, and Mr Culshaw, was to act as arbitrator between those two gentlemen. It was then agreed that Mr. Cullen should receive a certain price for his property, and that he should reserve the right of having a license granted to any other property. This took place in 1850, but the property was not pulled down until 1854, therefore there could be no doubt but that in equity mad justice that he was entitled to a transfer At the last annual licensing day he had applied for a new license, but at that time the house was not finished, and it was then suggested that he should apply for a transfer at these se.sions. The bench decided that as so long a period had elapsed in making the application, that the matter had better stand over until the next annual licensing day.

BEFORE J. It. BLAIR, ESQ., JUDGE. Ec YrT V. GREER.— This was an action brought by Joseph Scott, baker, of London-road, and of New Brighton, to recover £l4 12s 6d, from Robert Greer, proprietor of the anti-vermin establishment, Brownlow-hill, for damages done to plaintiff by the explosion of a lotion sold him by the defendant. Mr. Thine appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr. Roby for the def . :nee. The plaintiff deposed that in May last, his shop, cellar or bakehouse. and window, in New B.ighton, were much infested by ants. In order to get rid of these insects, he went to Mr. Greer's office, Brownlow-hill, and got from him a gallon of lotion to be used for the purpose, for which he paid 143 6d. Mr. Greer told him to be careful about the candle when using the lotion. He deposed that he used the lotion by squirting it with a syringe into a place under the shop window infested with the insects, and that in doing so he always kept the candle at the other side of his person, and at least two feet from the lotion, but nevertheless the lotion exploded. The place around caught fire. He cried out for help, and his boys brought buckets of water, by means of which the fire was extinguished. Plaintiff was severely burnt on the forehead, nose, and hands. He was con fined to his bed for about three weeks, and for the first three days after the explosion, was unable even to be removed up stairs to his bed room. Dr. Trot lope attended hint, and his bill amounted to £3 18s, which plaintiff paid. Some time after he met Mr. Greer, and the latter expressed his sorrow for the accident which had occurred, stating that he was not aware the lotion was so dangerous, and that he did not think it possible it could have ignited unless touched by the candle. Mr. Greer also said ho would pay the doctor's bill if plaintiff had it then about him. Plaintiff offered to give up all proceedings against Mr. Greer if the latter would cease to use so dangerous a lotion for the future. In answer to Mr. Roby, the plaintiff admitted that defendant stated that an additional charge would be req•lired for sending a man across to New Brighton to use the lotion ; but plaintiff also stated that he asked the defendant if there would be any danger in his using the lotion himself, and defendant said, not the slightest, if he did not let it touch the candle. The plaintiff also stated that Mr. Greer decidedly made a guarantee of " no care no pay" with him, and that he told Mr. Greer he would not take the lotion on any other understanding. There was a label upon the bottle, which plaintiff did not read, conceiving that he had received all the requisite instructions from Mr. Greer him self. Dr. T,ollope deposed that he attended the plaintiff, who was severely burnt across the forehead, temples, nose, and hands, the skin being in many places quite burnt off. His Honour asked how the amount of demand was made up? Mr. Hime said, £3 18s for the doctor's bill, 143 8d the price of the lotion, ar.d £lO damages. Mr. Roby contended on behalf of the defence, that the lotion was a really serviceable and beneficial article, and that the accident which took place arose from a want of proper caution. Mr. Greer was examined, and denied that he agreed to give a "no cure, no pay " guarantee, or that he ever admitted to the plaintiff having said he did not know the lotion was dangerous, and that he world not use it again. He deposed that he fully cautioned the plaintiff to be very careful, not to bring the candle near the lotion, as it was iufitunable, and that the plaintiff promised to he cautious. Mrs. Greer corroborated the evidence of the defendant, to the effect that there was no special bargain made, of the "no cure, no pay " kind. It was stated on this point by the defendant, that when he entered into a contract to clear a place of vermin, he gave such a guarantee, bat not where he merely sold the lotion. His Honour stated that he would give judgment in this case on Tuesday. LIVERPOOL BANKRUPTCY COURT—YxsniRDly BEFORE MR. COMMI3SIONEE STEVENSON. In re JOHN DOIIZETT.—This was the certificate meeting. Mr. Aspinall appeared for the assignees, and Mr. Deighton for the bankrupt. Mr. Aspinall said he was instructed to mention that the bankrupt had been charged before the magistrates for obtaining money under false pretences from one of his creditors, and that an indictment to that effect will be laid before the grand jury at the approaching winter assizes. The subject of that indictment will neces. sarily be one of the questions to be considered in referet,ce to the bankrupt's certificat? ; and. therefore, under the cir cumstances he (Mr. Aspinall) thought that it would be better to have an adjournment of the matter- until the indictment was first disposed of by the other court Mr. Deighton said that he had to press for the certificate, be cause the adjournment of the proceedings and the cause of that adjournment being made public would tend to the prejudice of the bankrupt when going before a jury. There was no opposition on the part of the particular creditor prosecuting the bankrupt, and there was no real objection he believed on the part of the assignees. They admitted that the balance-sheet was correct, and as the prosecution could in no way effect the bankrupt's estate, he (Mr. Deighton) 11 not sets why any adjournment should take place. His Honor asked if the discussion now of the matter forming the subject of the indictment would not interfere with the bankrupt going before another court? It would be (Moult to steer freo of the matter, and as he ought not to pre-judge the case in anyway, he thought that, both on the ground of convenience and propriety, it ought lo be adjourned. Mr. Aspinall said that he was willing to state on the part of the assignees that they did not de sire or think that the adjournment ought for a moment to affect the bankrupt. So far from prejudicing the bankrupt they thought that the adjournment would be greatly to his advantage. Mr. Deighton said that the bankrupt had no objection to go that moment into a fall inquiry into the matter ; but at the same time he should say that he felt it his duty, as counsel, to advise the bankrupt not to do so while a criminal preceeding was pending. His Honor again observed that he would not pre-judge t'ie case, and that he thought it should be adjourned both for convenience and propriety. Tne meeting was accordingly adjourned to the 15th December. THE BODY OF A CHILD FOUND AT THE OLD SWAN.-SUPPOSED INFANTICIDE. On Tuesday morning, about half-past ten o'clock, as s woman of the name of Bridget Holden, the wife of gardener, residing at the Old Swan, accompanied by a little girl named Mary Ann Fawcett, were walking alone , the t arnpike road to Liverpool, their attention was attracted to a bundle which was lying immediately behind the hedge in a field between the Cattle Market Inn, Stanley, and the Yellow House Toll-bar. Curiosity led them into the field to examine the package. They found that the outer cover c rnsisted of an apron, and on taking this off they discovered the foot of a child projecting through an inner covering of linen. Oa taking this off, the body of a newly born female child was presented to vi , w. The child was quite dead, but scarcely cold. There were no marks of violence, nor any external indication on the body, of the child having been murdered. On making the discovery, they imme diately gave information at the Old Swan Police station, and one of the officers at once came to the spot and took possession of the body. On Wednesday afte - noon an inquest was held at the house of Mr. Bulmer, the Old Swan Inn, before C. E. Diiffield, Esq., the coroner, when the parties who made the discovery were examined and deposed to the foregoing facts. Mr. Fitzpatrick, s irgeon, was also examined, and he stated that the body was that of a full grown female child. It was not more than a day o'd, and probably only a few hours. He further stated that it had been born alive, and had not died either from natural causes or hoincerlia3te. He had made a pose mortem examination, and found all the organs in a perfeAly healthy conditioe. The naval-string was eat, and it appeared to have been washed. It had not lived long, and in his opinion death had been caused either from exposure to cold or from neglect, but most probably the former. From the g.neral appearance, the body seems to have been made away with in haste, and probably immediately after birth. It was wrapped in a child's shirt, and the apron covering over this appears to have been thrown round it in a great hurry by some oie wearing the apron at the time, both strings being torn assay as if violently forced off. The verdict was—" Found dead in a field, without any natural causes to account for death." It is believed that the child has been born in the immediate locality of the spot where the body was found, and the police are making efforts to discover the guilty parties. At LEWIS & ' ONIPANY'S, Ranelagh-street. BOYS are CLOTHED from the Ages of Six to TweatyYoar3. PASTIMES OF THE ARISTOCRACY.—ne HOD. William Osborne, son of Lord Godolphin, was brought before the mayor and borough magistrates at Cambridge on Tuesday, on a charge of assaulting Robert Boning, a " bulldog," or proctor's man, during the late disturbances in the town. A great number, both of townspeople and members of the University, were present. The charge was that when Boning had, by the proctor's orders, taken into custody a girl of light character, Mr. Osborne collared him, and, assisted by the mob, rescued the girl end went off with her on his arm. In defence, it was urged that the girl was living under Mr Osborne's protection ; that the latter stepped into a shop to make a purchase, and, on coming out, found the girl in custody, whereupon be remonstrated with the proctor, and, as his remonstrance was not attended, to, was provoked to the asiault comp:ained of. The bench sentenced Mr. Osborne to pay a fine of 20 c , or be imprisoned for seven days. The money of course was paid. Ene,,itiefrelT for CLOTHING BOYS from Six to Twenty Yeara LEWIS & COMPANY, Ranotegh,etreet. ALCOHOL; OA S THB MINOR CURSE OF ENGLAND. BEING THE SUBSTANCE OV A SERIES OF ADDRESSES DELIVERED IN CONNECTION WITH ST. MARY'S TOTAL ABSTINENCE SOCIETY, KIAIKDALE. DEDICATED TO THE REV. C. E. TITTERTON, 8.A., PRESIDENT, IA LIVERPOOL WORKING MAN. " Woe unto him that giveth his neighbour drink, that puttest thy bottle to him and makest him drunken."—liabak. ii. 15. (Continued from 26!,i, November.] The greatness and glory of Britain, like the nations of old, in a temporal sense, depends upon mercantile enterprise. Merchant princes are among the most honourable, opulent, and powerful, of all rulers; while to employ the language of Holy writ, "Her wares go forth out of the aces, supply many people, and enrich the Kings of the Earth with the multitude of her riches." Spirit merchants, brewers, and publicans may ply their prudential expedients, and look wise and wary in the execution of them, but total abstinence having a higher and a firmer altitnte, the defensive armour of a shrink'ng policy does not suit them, and, with the naked majesty and grandeur of strength gathered from the battles, these principles have already won. Total abstinence must prevail. To those principles belong the frankness and simplicity of conscious greatness. In the meantime the greatness and glory of Great Britain is diminished and dimmed through drunkenness. It is an attested fact, that the manufacturing of intoxicating drink, in proportion to what it sells for, compared with the same amount as the average of nearly all manu'aztured goods, does not employ more t han I-17th of labour—that is, if elOO, in the production of alcholic drinks emnloy three men, XlOO in manufactured goods, of domestic comfort, will employ at! Hence the splendid gin palaces. But thi s is not the worst of the viilany of these poisoners. General —, the father of one of the largest brewing establishments in Liverpool, when he was upwards of 70 years of age, and had been engaged the greater part of his life in the spirit trade, told me that he would not keep a man to serve out drink unless he could,make dye gills:to the:quart ; besides, there are the two chalks for one pint ; thus are the deluded victims of intoxicating drink further plundered, and this declaration solves, to some extent, the otherwise inexplicable modern phenomenon of the shabby, genteel, and extravagant living of all engaged in the ungodly traffic kept up, it is clear, by plunder and profligacy. Now, if the commercialbeneflts resulting to a community from the investment of capital must be judged of by the amount of profitable labour it calls into action, the capital invested in the manufactory of necessary and uteful articles of domestic comfort, is seventeen times more beneficial to the community thin capital invested in the manu- facture of Alcoholic drinks, and, therefore, the inhabitants of England in giving encouragement to the investme it of capit tl in the manufac ture of intoxicating drink to the enormous extent they do, evince a fatuity which, in the absence of the fact, would not be expected in tt...t3 first commercial nation in the world. It appears to me that the withdrawal of £67,000,000 annually, expended at the shrine of Bacchus, by the devotee cf intemperance from the rational expenditure of the country, involves national corn• inercial suicide. That this vast amount expendel in Intoxicating' drink would be expended in food and useful manufactured x.rticles of domestic com- fort there can, I think, be little doubt, if there was a general adoption of total abstinence principles, for food, wearing apparel, furniture, and other manufactured articles of domestic comfort are not very plentiful among the families of drunkards; indeed, appalling instances of wretchedness and privation of wives and children of drunkards are not wanting; instances in abundance might be adduced, of families not tasting food for a period, when five or six shillings worth oeght to have been provided, and the same with other articles of domestic comfort, and thus it is that the commerce of Brit.iin is more to languish through drunkenness even when most prosperous. As each individual from Her most gracious Majesty who sways the British sceptre to the very meanest peasant has an interest in the nation's prosperity, eAch one will, therefore, be serving himself while advocating the cause of temperance, since each must share in the commercial prosperity of the country. So far as we have any historical account of emperors, kingdoms, and countries, they seem to have been remarkable in their origin for habits of temperance, and intemperate at thew fall, this I shall endeavour to render apparent. The people of the Assyrian empire, so far as wo can ascertain from Scripture, were temperate in tiler habits of d inking. Rabsheka , the Assyrian Ambassador, when threatening Jerusalem, tells the affrighted Israelites with an apparent degree of friendship, if they yielded they should be removed to a land of corn and grapes, bread and vineyards, that they may eat every one of his own vine, and every one of his own figtre3, and drink every one of the waters of his own cistern, affordini clear and convincing proof that the Assyrian conquerors were of temperate habits, and that the ♦ine was cultivated tor food and not drink, their drink being waters from their own cisterns. The fall of this mighty empire presents an awful example of the ruinous and prostrating Influence of drunkenness, Whilst temperate the Assyriaaa had conquered every enemy, and brought under vassalage almost every known country, making the very name of Assyria amony surrounding nations a synonym° for power and magnificence, bat as in all other declining empires drunkennes s loosened the reins of power, and ultimateiy prostrate' its splendour to the dust. Nineveh, the pride and glory of the East, was assailed by the troops of those kings who, a short time before, were the vassals of the monarchy. The Ninevites enervated by intemperance, unlike their teetotal forefathers, trusted to their arms, and coa'age of their souls, and shut themselves up within their vast and massive stone walls. Herein, however, they were doomed to disappointment, for Nineveh was taken, its inhabitants put to the sword, and their voluptuous monarch slain in his profligacy. Yes, Nineveh the capital of Assyria , an empire, which was for many ages a very extensive and populous city—its walls are described by heathen historians as having been a 10) feet high, 00 miles in compass, with 1,500 towers, each 200 feet high. This exceeding great city having repented at the preaching of Jonah, its destruct:on was adverted for a time, bat through intem perance was swept ultimately away. " While they are drunken, as drunkards they shall b 3 devoared as nibble fuliy dry."—Nahatn, Ist , 2nd, and 3rd chapters. The utter destruction jaed perpetual desola tion of Nineveh was foretold. " The Lord will make an utter end of the place thereof; the merchants of Nineveh, who were multiplied above the stars of Heaven, they fled away, and their ptaae is not known where they were.,,,,11e will make Nineveh a desolation, and dry like a wilderness."—Nahum i. 8. Zeph. ii. 13 15. Nineveh, through drunkenness, is now an extended waste, -proclaiming the truth of God's word, and thus is the prediction fulfilled. Babylon, like Nineveh, presents another melancholy in,tance of the baneful effec s of intemperance —the King and his drunken companions were slain in their revelry. Babylon even rivalled Nineveh in its greatness and mazniiicence, and lamentable to relate in its drunken ness. Its princes, captains, and mighty men were reposing after their feasts and carnivals, and when they were still drunken were suddenly slaughtered and slept the sleep of death, and Babylon, which had never before been conquered, was thus taken without resistance — see :Isaiah xxi 2 ; Isaiah xlv 1 ; Isaiah xliv 27 ; Jer. 1 31! Jer. li 11, 27, 30, 31, 36, and 37. The Persian empire rose upon the runs of Babylon, and, like its predecessor, having been corrupted to the very core by luxury and drunkenness, after one shot bottle with the troops of Alexander, of Macedonia and Babylon, saw again a foe within its walls. The relics of voluptuousness so shocked the good sense of A l exander, that he expressed his feelings in the most marked terms of disgust; but from that moment it is singularly appalling. Alexander's entire life seems to have been given up to drunkenness, for Aristobulus tells us that after drinking several days, he died raging me i. Thus, meanly, died Alexander, in the prime of his life, tie meridian of his power, the victim of Alcoholic drinks, and with his life was extinguialied the ephemeral empire he hat established on the rains of the Persian monarchy. The next domineering empire was that founded by Romulus and Remus, two brothers, about 700 years before Christ, and such, ultimately, was the guatness, magnificence, and spendour of the eterual city, and its power so vast that no other c'ty could contend against the triumph of Roman arm., to celebrate their triumphs, continual libations, numerous bachanalian festivals were instituted, the effect of which was the degrading of the national character, and, finally, like the preceding empires, the vitals of the Roman constitu tlon became corrupted through drunkenness, and that mighty empire ell, tale upon pile, with a crash, to which history presents no pa-al:el, and the delay resulting to social progress through the drunkenness of ancient Rome was subsequently prolonged for at least a thousand years by the voluptuousness of modern Rome, now cushioned on the French bayonet, and kept from immediate dissolution by French arms. The British empire seems to me, when I contemplate its drunken ness, to be fast approachin4 a crisis—almost yearly adding to the extant of its dominion, at the same time to its weakness. The Romans subdued the world as far as it oat known to the ancients, but their dominion fell far short of the territory under British rule. The sun never sets on Briton's empire, bat in every period of r n•olving time shines upon some part or other—a fact which no nation on earth can or ever could boast. As with the anc ant mistress of tha world so with Briton. We read with glowing emotion of her possessions and conquests, often ceded to the prowess of British arms, as of acknow ledged right rather than bloodshed. Often do we feel pride in our bosoms that we belong to Briton—that we were born under her temperate and changeful sky, and can we think upon her noble deeds, ker generous acts of emancipation from the thraldom of the very worst of oppression, giving an example to the wide wide world without being affected and humbled into the very dust, with the appallini fact that, while Great Britain is thus se zing authority in almost every clime, she is neglecting the cultivation of her strength at home. It is true, she is sending the Bible n millions to almost every part of the habitual globe. Her missionaries go forth in vast numbers, holy and devoted men, not counting their lives too dear, so that they may promote the work of their Lord and Master; but what matters it, when morality, which is the springs of political power, she abandons through her drunkenness. The Assyrians, Babylonians, Ninevites, Persians; Romans, ancient and modern, did the same, and fell ; and can Great Britain expend J 667,000,000 at the shrine of Bacchus, and offer 34,000 human sacrifices annually to the moloch of Europe—alcoholic drink—and stand, when we are assurad in the word of the Ziring and eternal Lord God, that righteousness exalteth a nation. There are, already, 500,000 drunkards in England, 100,000 constantly in prison, at a cost of two millions sterling to the country, 1,000,000 regularly fed by cold legal charity, at a cost of seven or eight millions sterling annually to the nation, 40,000 continually confined in the dark cells of the asylums—the sad and dreary abodes of the insane. This constant and appalling amount of crime, pauperism, and lunacy, requiring 4,000 relieving officers, 5,000 chaplains, gaolers, and physicians, 40 judges, 80,000 lawyers and clerks, and upwards of 150,00) police-officers, altogether about one to fifty of the entire population of England. Can these things go on increasing as they have done since the commencement of the present century, and Great Britain stand? Can these appalling evils, resulting in causing 75 per cent. of all the crimes committed in the land go on increasing without causing England's desolation at no distant day, with a crash more tremendous than any that have preceded it, adding another to the world's list of nations that have been hurled from the loftiest pre-eminence through drunkenness unto the dust. A financial policy that lays its basis in public-house property, or the public-house revels of the deba , ed of the British Isles, can no more stand than a throne cushioned on bayonets, as Rome is, at this moment. £67,000,000 annually consumed in intoxicating drinks is not a very pleasing sign of England's might or England's greatness or majesty. Behind that there lies a tearible gehenna, and that abyss of ignorance and crime, and the mockery of all human and divine law, has, within it myriads of the doomed and the lost of this fair and mighty nation, the gratification of the saloons of the wealthy. The convivialities of the moderate cannot pass away without tracing on the highway of time a lured streak red with the perdition of countless multitudes. Government may derive annually eighteen or twenty millions of revenue at the Hell of burning waters, engulf the ignorant and deluded victims of drunkenness, and craven-hearted and infidel statesm>n may be delighted with the reflection that an appetite reigns, the gratification of which is the tax accumulating power of the Chancellor of the Exchequer; but, unless England's real interests are sought by the head, heart, and hand of Christian and patriotic rulers, who will banish the wretched convivialities that marshal the drunken debasement of the land? England's prostration is not fir distant. If, on the other hand, instead of there being here and there (as the Kirkdale total abstinence society) a handful of individuals engaged in advocating and diffusing the enobling principles of total abstinence,—if, in short, one thousandth part of the ingenuity and attention bestowed in the manufacture of the Ilorsfall ordinance, and in the investigation of our maritime greatness and glory, and the establishment of a problem of euclid, were bestowed In the investigation and establishing the truth of total abstinence principles, and if persons so engaged would frankly show their thoughts and communicate their decisions to their neighbours, I believe that a stimulus would be given of such a nature as to thrill from heart to heart, from family t family, and thus through our soc al relations, uet;l the momentous events of past history, with all their wonderments, would be thrown into the shade by the majesty and power of the great moral reformation the general adoption of total abstinence principles wanld produce throughout the kingdom and the world. (To be continued.) VERSATILITY' OF A FRENCH STATESMAN, In 1852 M. Dupin, who has now accepted the office of Procureur-General at the Court of Case ation, on the appointment of the Emperor, address ed the following letter to M. Louis Napoleon, then President of the Republic. It announces his re signation of the office of Procureur-General on account of the confiscation of the Orleans property : Peers, Jan. 23, 1852, To the President of the Republic,—l regret exceedingly that, previous to the publication of the decree which I have read this morning in the lifoniteur, you had not heard my opinion with the same kindness you have sometimes mani fested towards me. I should have tried to demonstrate to you, not merely in the private int rests of the children, the greater part minors, of the late king—of whom I am one of the testamentary executors,—but in the interest of your own government, that those who suggested that measure are not acquainted with the facts, and that they have disregarded all the rules of law and equity. In fact there is an extreme exaggeration (at least to the amount of half) in the estimate made of the property of the Orleans family. In law the decree violates in its essence the very principle of property. This right of property was recognised, after. a solemn discussion, in the person of the late King by the 22nd and 23rd clauses of the law of March 2, 1832; and in the person of his children by the very acts of the revolution of February, by the decree of the Constituent Assembly of the 25th of Oct. 1848, and by the law of the National Assembly of Feb. 4, 1850, promulgated by your government, and authorising the loan of 20,000,000 on that property by your Minister of Finance. Thus, public right, will, special laws, con tracts, all have recognised in the hands of the princes of the house of Orleans their right to the property, which the decree of January 22, deprived them of all at once, and in a manner so absolute that the sacred rights of the tomb, the burial-ground of Dreux, are not even accepted. If the constitution of January 15, was in operation, the senate might be appealed to, in virtue of the 26th article, which permits that body to make opposition to the promulgation of laws which are contrary to the inviolable character of property. In the present state of things the only course is to appeal to you, Prince, and to invoke your wisdom and the magnanimity of your own feelings when they are again consulted and more deliberately listened to. But if these rigorous measures are to be mantained, a great scruple arises from the depth of my con ' science• As Procureur-General to the Court of Caseation for nearly twenty-two years—as the prin cipal organ of the law in that high branch of jurisdiction, charged as I am by the government to proclaim the constant respect to right, and to require the reversal and the annulling of acts which violate the laws, or which proceed from excess of power by the government, how shall I be able henceforth to exercise the same firmness if acts are introduced in our legislation which are in contradiction with these principles 1' I feel myself bound, therefore, to tender you my resignation. But I pray you, Prince, and in an earnest manner, not to misunderstand my motives. The resolution I have adopted has nothing to do with politics. As president of the late Assembly, I rigorously kept myself apart from parties and their fatal divisions, and. limited myself to the task of maintaining, as mucti as I individually could, the legal and moral doctrines on which the essential order of civilised society reposes. After the coup d'etat of Dec. 2, against which it became my duty to protest as I have done, I waited the judgment of the people, appealed to by you. After that solemn judgment I adhered frankly to the immense powers which were the result of that appeal, considering them as the strongest guarantee that could be presented to preserve or re-establish those principles which a wild socialism had endangered and menaced; and, as a public functionary, my co-operation was loyally given to you. But at the present moment, and on a question of civil right and of private rights, of natural equity, and of all Christian notions of what is just and unjust, and which I cherish in my soul for more tuan fifty years as a lawyer and a magistrate, I feel myself absolutely called on to resign my functions of Procureur-General. Be pleased, Prince, to accept the sentiments of my respectful consideration. DUPIN.

" ANOTHER EXTRAORDINARY CHARGE OF B:G tNIY,-At the Lambeth Police Court, on Wednesday, John Wilkinson, a shoemaker, residing in East-street, Lambeth. was charged with intermarrying with Ann Sullivan, his former wife Francis being then and still alive. From the evidence it appeared that the prisoner had been married upwards of 16 years ago at Bury St. Edmunds, and in five years after he left his wife to live with Arn Sullivan. In 1853 he married this woman, solely as it was all ged, on her promise of leaving off her drunken habits and taking the pledge. Her passion for gin it was stated, was too strong to resist ; she soon broke her pledge, and the prisoner in consequence sent for his first wife, which led to the present charge. The defence set up was that the second wife was the lawful spouse of John Alexander, a man of colour, at present living in Kent, Both wives were present, and the second admitted that she had been the wife of John Alexander, but said that that person died before her second marriage. The prisoner requested a remand, and said he should on a future day produce John Alexander, the black man, who was at present living with a female, by whom he had four children. His request was granted ; and he was remanded for a week. BOYS' CLOTHING MADE WITH GREAT TASTE, at LEWIS fko compmiro, Ranciagh-street, BIRKENHEAD POLICE. *. 7' BEFORE MESSRS.
