LIVERPOOL LICENSED VICTI7ALLERS' ASSOCIATION. The Annual General Meeting of the LiCensed Victual lers' Association was held yesterday, in the Board-room of their Institution, West Derby-road. The chair was occupied by tha President of the Asscciation, Mr. T. Carter. The meeting was convened for three o'clock pm. precisely, but it was four o'clock before the buiinesi.4 was proceeded with. The CHAIRMAN in opening the proceedings, said that it was their annual general meeting, held in accordance with their deed of association, fur the purpose of laying before the subscrebers the report of the proceedings of the past year, That report would be the report of 'what the committee had done both in the meteor of the charitable institution, and of all matters connected with the trade. It was the duty of the meeting to Judge of that report as it was laid before them and to say whether the committee had done th e i r dtvy during the preceding year. He should inform them that it sas in the power of the meeting to annul any of the proceedings of the committee if they dis approved of them ; and they would also have to consider whether the committee who had the management of their affair& were 'deserving of re appointment ler not. They would have to appoint seven new mem bars to - act on the committee, and whatever the result of that choice might be the subscribers would hold the meeting responsible for the meaner in which those gentlemen would pefcerm their duties. The committee had had money difficulties to meet doting the last year, and many payments to make whiuh could not occur again under any circnmstances. In conclusion the chair man declared that the committee desired the fullest inquiry into their management, and reed a letter front Lady Bent, returning ;her most grateful the nks for the kind sympathy expressed by the Licensed Victualles Associa tion towards her in her recent bereavement, The Secretary, Mr. Beoesethen read the isinutes rf - the proceedings of the committee during the year. He also recd the report and statement of accounts. They have beta. - -already published and circulated among the onle4cribere. Mr. HENRY DAMSON as one of the auditors, mewed the adoption of the report and statement of accounts. In doing so he observed that so completely 'identified were the into of the association with the interests of the sub: cribers as iedevi fuels, that these who did not - take an interest in its welfare, were guilty of culpable negli gence in their own interests. (Hear, hear.) Ler year the association hid had tnany difficulties to meet, but they had cfreercome them all ; and if the association were well maintained, their estate would soon'become one of con siderable importance in Liverpool. He wanted that their income should be doubled, and if the trade took the interest in the association which they ought to do, their income would soon reach that amount. (Hear, hear.) In Conclusion, Mr. Denson bore testimony to the plain, comenheneive, and satisfactory manner in which the accounts of the association were kept.- Mr. J. ATR , NRON, another of the auditors, seconded the motion. In doing so, he referred to what passed in the Police-court daring the late Licensing Session, and observed that,` however much at variance the conduct of the magistrates on the occasion might be with their position and 'duty, he would not then stop to discuss it. His impression was that the Licensing Magistrates of Liverpool had forgotten the precise duty for the discharge of which they were empowered by the Licensing Act. Their conduct during the present licensit g session was at variance not only with their acts, but with their oft expressed opinions. In London the business was carried on in a very different manner, and the consequence was that much more satisfaction was given ; but he was sorry to say that the licensing bench of Liverpool had, during the present session, acted not only not in accordance with the spirit of the act, but not even with its letter. However, this only showed the necessity and importance of the trade being prepared against the next meeting of parliament, - when some change in the system would undoubtedly be proposed. He had no hesitation in saying that a great change was necessary, and he was confident that if the 'licensed victuallers of the country did their duty, that change would be made not only beneficial to themselves, bat beneficial to the community at large. (Hear, hear.) Some discussion took place, on a complaint of Mr. Parker that a letter which he had directed to the com mittee did not appear on the minutes, but the matter was explained. The motion was then unanimously adopted. The next business was the election of seven members on the committee, in the room of the gentlemen who retiroti. Mr. Thomas Carter, Mr. William Coward, Mr James Morgan, and Mr. Thomas Jones were re•electel ; and Mr. -Joseph Jannion, Mr. George Meyrick, and Mr. Thomas W. May were elected in the roam of Mr. E. Griffiths, Mr. John Evals, and Mr. Thomas Fisher. _Mr. T. W. MAY moved that the thanks of the assodafon be given to the chairman and the committee for tkeir exertions in the cause of the institution and the trade during the past year. Mr. Lays seconded the motion, which was unanimously ador tad. Tae CHAIRMAN acknowledged the compliment, and in doing so observed that it was the great desire of the com mittee to bring the schools into as good working order as the almshouse. (Hear, hear.) He would wish that it were possible to urge the subcribers to aid them in that effort, for he should like to see the schools h•otight to that position that they would reflect credit on the Fcansed victuallers of Liverpool. (Hear, hear.) On the motion of Mr. W. Coward, seconded by Mr. McKnight, Mr. Thomas Clarke was re-elected treasurer, and thanks voted him for the manner in which he discharged the duties of the office during the past year. Mr. Howe pr3posed that Mr. Thomas Rymer be re elected solicitor, and thanks ba voted to him for the manner in which he conducted the legal busineEs of the tus4oCiaion. i\l r. T. JONES secmded the motion, which was unani mously adopted. Mr. RYMER, in acknowledging the compliment, referred to what lately took place before the Licensing Magistrates, and said he dii think, that a slciety like the Licensed Vic nallers' Association, ought to be represented before the magistrates, and that when they came before the bench to oppose the granting of any farther licenses, their representations should b 3 patiently listened to. (Hew.) They had large property invested in their business, and they bad a r ght to say to the magistrates, "Do not grant any further licenses, for even now Liverpol is overwhelmed with them " Ho always paid respect to the bench, and be regretted much the s.ienes which took place in the Police Court on a recent occasion. He did not think they were proper, and with every respect to the gentlemen who made the complaints to the bench, he should take the liberty of saying, and saying publicly, that they went a little too far. (hear, hear.) On the motion of Mr. E. Griffiths, thanks were voted to the Itnditors ; and, on the motion of Mr. J. Evans, thanks were unanimously voted to the trustees. Mr. Jaws THOMPSON in responding, observed that the princiiie on which licenses were at present granted in Liverpool, no one could understand. (Hear, hear.) Thanks were then voted to the proprietors of the Morning Advertiser, for their presentation of that paper to the association—and to the _chairman, after which tha meeting separated.

The Funds opened at a decline of I per cent this morning, owing chiefly to the impression that the Bank would not make any alteration in the rate of discount, which impression subsequently turned out to be right, as the Bank directors seperated without announcing any change ; to wards the close, however, the market became a a little firmer, the prices then being :-Consols for money, 90* to 901 and for the Account, 90 1 1 to 901 and 13-16 ; Exchange Bills, 4 dis. to par, and the New Three per Cents, 911 to 911.

In the General Produce Markets there is no change to notice, with a very moderate business doing in the leading consumptive articles. Messrs. J. P. Platt, in their Circular just issued, mike the following remarks concerning the Freight Market : To AUsiTRALIA.—We have little - or no change to notice in Frights.

The .valve of British Goods exoorted from Liverpool for the month of July, 1857, was £5,677,804, being £256,581 in excess of corresponding month of 1856. Respecting the Sugar Mat ket and the probable supplies of the article. Messrs. Trueman and Rouse, of London, remark as follows, under date the Ist. Sept. The imp)r's of sugar up to the 31st nitime are still 11,000 tons less than ein the first eight months of 1856, being 270,500 against 281,500 tons, ail striking change in the deliveries, shows a falling off of 20,000 tons as compared with the same period of last year. This is almost entirely in the export, for those for home consumption have been 218,400 against 220 600 tons, an unimportant difference which may be reversed in another month ; indeed it may be confidentially stated that the reduction is rather apparent then real, tor, owing to the determination of the trade to withhold from buying as long as possible on account of the advanced prices, they have ran themselves entirely out of stock, and have letterly merely just taken enough for daily wants. The stock is nearly on a par with that of last year, being 95,900 against 98 800 tons, which, however, may be said to comprise nearly the whole quantity both in first end second bands in the country. As le gards the future supply, we have not much to look forward• to for the remainder of this season, the balk having now come forward from the producing countries; • the Ist of August ships have still to arrive from the West Indies, and some leer cargoes from Cuba and Brazils, and these comprise nearly" all that we can expect before the new crops begin to arrive. Toe reports from most of the tropical sources of supply are favourable as to the coming crops, but the course of the sugar market next y ear w ill be in a great measure dspendenton the out-turn of that of Louisiana and the beetroot crops in Earope, about both of which great contrariety of opinion prevails. In only one season has the increase in Louisiana exceeded 100,000 hhds. over the previous crop, and taking that of 1856.7 at 75,000 hhds., and adding thereto 100,000, the turn-out of this year would still fall very far short of the average of late years (excluding of c urse 1856.7), and exposed as it is to injury from frost, it may ultimately prove much below present expectations. Wtth regard to the out-turn of beet root, opinions are very conflicting; by some parties the season is represented to have b,en very favourable, while by others the unusual heat of the summer is said to have dried up the reo` ; it is however erobabia that mach less will be taken this year for distillation in France. The position and prospects of the Market for Hides is thus noticed in one of the L)tubn Cireu lays just issued : The trarsactiotes in leather throughout the past month have far exceeded an average amount, and a tendency to 'higlt or prices has been apparent in most articles. The supplies have generally been to a moderate extent, bet the demand has been so urgent that stocks have greatly diminished during the month. Almost the only exception to this activity has been in heavy foreign butte, for which there has been less inquiry than might have hem antic!. pated. The demand for home consumption is usually good at this season of the year, and it has no doubt been in some degree stimulated of late by the exp7ctation of addition,l requirements for army purposes The exporta tion of leather and leather manufactures also continues to increase. These causes account for the recent activity of the market, and as such sources of consumption. domestic and foreign, appear likely to continue, or even under the favourable influence of the extraordinary fine harvest, to increase, there is little doubt of the maintenance of a good leather trade.' In raw goods a considerable business has also been doing, and generally at advancing rates. The demand for the Continent has absorbed a large proportion of the lighter Cape and Australian hides, as well as of the East India kips. We believe the total shipments of specie and bullion for the East by the Indus to-morrow will be about £695,000 all in silver, with the excep tion of £12,000 in gold. The bulk of these supples is for India. The total exhibits a material dimi nution compared. with the amount shipped by the last few packets. Transactions are already going forward, however, in silver, intended for shipment by the following steamer on the2Oth Sept, _ _ The weekly traffic of the Great Northern RAH viay Company, which is watched with interest, owing to the competition for the Man eheste , ,. traffic, shows to increase of £1,525 over that, for the corresponding week of las'; year, The increase in the London and North Western Compa n y' s receipts is p 1,624. The Admiralty have accepted the ship Jura for the conveyance of troops Lora St. John's (New Brunswick) to Cork; and have ordered the Spartan and Joseph Shepherd to be surveyed, previous to accepting them for the conveyance of stares to Fremantle and Hong Kong . . By the arrival of the r nited States steam ship Fulton at Southampton, we are in possession of New York advices of the 22nd ult. Money was active, but prices for Railroad Stocks continued to recede. Cotton was in limited request, but not quoted below the rates previously advised Bread stuffs were dull, but rather more was doing in freights, especially to London and Liverpool. The Cotton market at New Orleans had an advancing tendency. The Fulton brought 100 passengers, and nearly 500,000 dollars specie on freight. LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET.—Serr. 3. There has been a moderate demand for cotton to-day, and with average supplies, prices are firm The sales— including 40 Pernambucos 10d, 150 Bahias 91d, 400 Egyptiaqs lOid to llad, 1,500 Surats 41 to 61d—are reported 7,000 bales, of which 1,000 are on speculation and for export. EXTRAORDINARY MURDER. TRIAL IN ALGERIA. A trial, which, for the excitement it li-s created on the Continent, the revelations which it has brought to light, and the high r ersona g es it will affect, may take its place among the most remarkable of the "ceuse,s celebres," has just terminated before the Court of Assize at Oran, in Algeria. Tne facts of the ease are these:—On the 12th of September, 1856, nearly a twelvemonth since, a diligence left Tlemcen for Orate In the coupe were the eye Ben Abdallah and his secretary; in the interior, other passen gers, numbering five or six. They had scarcely lost sight of the town, when two horsemen were observed foil rwine the vehicle, and, as they proceeded, others joined in, arid amongst them, persons on • foot. Presently, shots were fired, which at fiest the postilion mistook for a respectful salute in honour of the great personage he was conducting to Oran ; the whistling sound of a bullet, however, which whizzed by his ear, undeceiving him, he put spurs to his horses. The diligence was. nevertheless, speeedily over taken, when a fearful scene of confusion took place, in which the Aya Ben A.bdallah and a Mr. Vallette were killed. dad the secretary received woun3s of which he died the next day. The rest of the passengers effected 'Unit e cape to a neighbourng village, were they obtained assist. ance. The mystery now commences.. Who were these ssassins, and what could have been their motive:? Were they acting on their own accaunt, or . were they employed by some person of influence and authority'? General Beaufort, commanding the sub-division at Tlemcen, at once reported the audacious crime to his superior, General Montauban, who summoned to his presence Captain Doineau, an officer of an - impetious temper, but of great intelligence and talent, and chief of the bureau at Tlemcen. The Captain prevaricated, and endeavoured to throw the guilt of the murders upon a neighbouring tribe. The General, however:, thought the culprits were to be looked for nearer home. Whilst the General and his subordinate were discussing the point, the widow of the slaughtered Aye, who hal already lost f, ur husbands by violent means. rushed oat into the streets in a frantic manner, with dishe velled loaks,and beating her bosom, d, flouncing the Aya Bel Halj as the assassin. This, at'first, appeared impossible, since he was reported to be confined to his bed from illness. A French physician, however, being sent for, declared his indisposition to be feigned, upon which the suspected Aya fled to Moroece, but was persuaded to return a month afterwards. He was then seized, together with eighteen Arabs, upon whose representations the authorities saw grounds for takine Captain Doineau into custody. According to 'the statements of the Arabs, Doineau had assembled them together, and bound them by an oath to take the life of the Aya, an.i to observe the most inviolable secresy. Oae of the most remarkable features of the nial, however, is that which shows with what facility an Arab will contradict himself, and unsweer what he had just before stated. Of all the witnesses brought for ward on the occasion, thereewere scarcely two whose evidence could be relied on. "In your first declaration," said the AdvOcate-General te a witness, "yon lied, and you said it from fear of the Aya Bel Hadj. Tell all the truth to day." Bel Hadj, himself an officer of the Legion of Honour, and who has been nine years is the French service, equally contradi c t e d an d per j ure d hi mself. At one time he implicated Deineau, at another confessed the crime his own ; on a teird occasion, when brought up to confirm the testimony of a seperate witness, he pressed his hands upon his breast, and in a voice of exquisite sweetness, exclaimed, "Now that we are in the face of death, shou:d we accuse the captain?" The motives assigned to Daman for the perpetration of the atrocious deed were jealousy of the influence of the Aya Ben Abdallah, and an generated in some smuggling transactions. As far as can be ascertained, it appears that certain camels were seized from some Morrocco traders, who are alleged to have violated the customs laws. These Bel Hadj bought for a trifling sum, but, selling them at an advanced price, divided the pi-cuts with Doineau. Another suepiciOus circumstance is the powssion, on tee part of the captain, of 38,500 f., for which he cannot satisfactorilly account. Had the Aya Ben Abdallah been alive, it is said he could have given the history, not only of these francs, but also of many other similar peculations. Revelations of a startling character were made on the trial —startling, at least, to civilian ears. One witness, Si Mohammed, deposed that Captain Doineau bad shot v'ari'ous Arab without even the mockery of a trial, and several cases were cited. In reply to these, the captain simply alined that "he does not discuss the orders of his chiefs ;" but General Beaufort, though trying to shield a fellow-officer, cantot help admitting th a t more of these " executions " had taken place than was warranted by his orders. It was also attempted to be shown that General Montauban had himself been putting money into his pocket indirectly, and that there was a great deal of mixed robbery arid murder going on in the different provinces cf Algeria, in face that it was a system by which a dishonest officer or an avaricious chef de bureau could, if he were inclined, amass money without the probability of detection. That General Montauban is in some way implicated in the present transaciin seems strongly to be believed. • Though he strenuously denies the assertion that he ordered Major Chenzy to take a pair of pistols to Captain Doineau, intimating that it would be better for him to put an end to his life rather than undergo the disgrace of a trial, which must result in unpleasant revelations, there is every reason to believe that the statement is true, and so impatient was he, that he sent them immediately upon the arrest of the captain, even before a first examination had taken place. Tne result of the trial, notwithstanding the contradictory evidt nee of the various witnesses, and the circumstantial nature of that evidence, is, that Captain Doineau has been condemned to death. Of the other prisoners, eight een in number, seventeen are sentenced to twenty year.' hard labour. It is also reported, and we believe there is truth in the report, that G:nerals Montauban and Beaufort will be superseded, and Marilee' Bandon sent for to consult upon the reorganisation of the Arab bureaux. The facts which have come to light during this remarkable trial furnish us with not a few data by which to draw a comparison between the French and English systems of colonization. If we cast back a 'glance over the quarter of a century during which the French leave been labouring to conquer, to consolidate, to colonise, and to cultivate their African acquisition, and were we to enum erate the armies that have been consumed and the b:ood that has been shed in its subjugation, what a picture of misery and horror would be presented to ue ! How many homes in France have been made desolate? how many tents among the A ra b s h ave been rendered tenant less ? And if we look again at the condition of this costly colony,after so much life, toil and money has been spent upon it, what is it? how does it repay the immense sums that have been waved in purchasing it ? Few of the native tribes are really friendly; and so dangerous is a settlement in the country that it is with the greatest difficulty the Govern ment can persuade labourers and peasants to emigrate, though the prizes they offer are large. Then if we examine into the system of military rule maintained there, what are the results ? "If the bushes could speak," said oue of the witnesses et the late tri .1, " they would tell the fate of many an unfortunate captive." It is the curse of this colony that its armed proprietors think little of taking the life of an Arab, and plundering where an opportunity presents itself. The disease pervades all ranks, from the private Zolave up to superiors, however exalted; hence arises the solicitude and alarm of the com rades of Doineau, and the strenuous efforts to save him. Compare our government of India, with all its defects, or the maser in which we govern any of our colonies, with the sword-and-bayonet rule of the French in Algeria, and what A contrast becomes !flanges ! We depend upon the justice, the equity, the leniency of our government, and have therefore gone on adding territory to territory with a very small - loss of life, and a comparatively moderate outlay of treasure. In Algeria, on the contrary, the sword is sorer sheathed ; the population are not yet sebined; the hatred of the Arab is not to be quenched, France may attempt to coloni. it, bat she will never be equal to the task ; she may invite her subjects to cross the Mediterranean, and establish them selves in its fortified cities, or in the rocky valleys with which Algeria abounds ; do what she may, however, her tenure there will never be anything else than that of a military occupation. 'Mr. Macaulay has, it is said, given up the idea of con tinuing his "Hi;tory of England" down to a period wiihin the memory of living men, as at first announced, and will conclude it with the death of Queen Anne. • LONGIVITY IN SCDTLAND. —The following remarkable' cases of longevity are noteworthy. In Unst, Sutherland shire, three men and twe women died, last quarter, aged respectively 83, 88, 89, 74 and 78 years of age. In Clyne, in the same c o u n ty, fi ve persons died, aged 89, 88, 84, 79, and 70 respectively. In Boner, also in the same county, two men died at the respective ages of 94 and 86, the elder of whom remarked on the very morning of his death that "he never remembered having even a sore head." In Errol, Perthshire, the deaths of seven persons are recorded, whose ages were respectively 92, 88, 74, 73, 72, 69, and 64. In Kirkaldy, eight persons died above the age of 70, the eldest being 93, In LeuchaTs, Fife shire, the united ages of four persons who died amounted to 338 years. In St. Aulnws, five persons died, whose resp-edve ages were 95, 90, 87, 85, and 80 years. The oldest person noted as having died daring the quarter (if we except a statement in the report of the registrar of Coldingbans, which is evidently a mistake, to the effect that the averag e age of six persons dying i n hi s di str i ct 1 ' 241 36) is a female at Slains, 'Aberdeenshire, who had attained her 991layear.—Edinburgh_Dagy.Express.

FATAL ACC DENT IN A MILL, laAlt BRADFORD.—On Wednesday, an inquest was held at the Washington Inn, Cropper Lane, Bradford, on the body of John Glover, fifteen years of age, who died at the Infirmary, on Sanday, from injuries received in a factory at Idle, known as the " Black Mill," on the S ►turday week previous. When it was near closing time the youth was anxious to get a brush which was hanging near a revolving shaft, and when attempting to reach it a loose portion of his smcck was caught by the shaft, and he was instantly drawn up and wrapped round it. A minute and a half elapsed before he could be taken d )wn, or th 3 en /iae stopped ; anL as the shaft was running at the rate of 120 revolutions per minute, he had thus been whirled roarid 180 timee. He was brought to the Bradfo d Infirmary, when it was ascertained that the right leg had been entirely wrenched off, and the left so shockingly broken as to require amputation, which was accordingly done. At first tte youth, contrary to expec tation, seemed to rally, but ultimately mortification super vened, and ha dial at the time stated. As it appeared that the youth was himself alone to blame, a verdict of "Accidental death" was returned. Mr. Spurgeon, we b?lieve, attained notoriety at first by virtue of certain familiar figures cf speech, borrowed from the shop and the street, which, unknown before in the pulpit, attracted public interest much on the same princi ple as the stage clown campated for it with Whitfield at Bartholomew Fair. These colloquialisms be has since pared and pruned of much of their extravagance, which seemed, to the taste of many, to border on profaneness, but there is sill a sifficknt sprinklinc , of them to give a certain tone, or rather twang, to the whole b of his mi, istrations. Thos4 who have heard the free and easy mode in which he hits off the dialogue between Luther and the devil— " Yon are a great sinner. sir," said the devil. " I grant, th it," said Luther. " You will be damned, sir," said the devil. " You are a great liar, sir," said Luther—the lively way in which he - takes off the whimpering "silly gall," who won't go to tho fountain because she has no water in her pitcher; or the graphic power with which he personates the Divine attributes, the law, Satan, and Christ all in high debate abaut the destiny of the sinner—will easily understand what we mean when we say, that in the honaelires., the every-day worldliness, the how-d'ye-do English hearfness of the scan, we discover at once the characteristic style of the preacher, and the true secret of his success. C. g. Spurgeon, though a Baptist, is in style the reverse (,f John the Baptist. He is the voice of one crying in the city. He is a Cockney evangelised. His whole.speech and turn of thought savours of Cheapside and the Bank, only Cheapi,de and the Bank must be supp-sed to be baptised and to talk Calvinism. Fancy the whole traffic of these thorongtlares suddenly arrested some day at noon ; finny all the 'ha., cab, and hamsom drivers to be personified in one elequent Jehu, who holds forth to the multitude, struck mute and motionless on some 'point of religion, is tones of thunder, sounding strange amid the unwonted silence—and you hate Spurgeon preaching at Surrey Gardens.—Edinbavh Witness.

SEDUCTION OF EMIGRANT GIRLS AT NEW YORK.-Mr. Vere Foster will hear with more regret than we feel surprise, that thirteen out of the seventy young Irish girls, in whose welfare he took such a generous interest, and whom in an evil hour he took to New York, the most profligate city upon earth, have been seduced by some heartless scoundrels, and are wande►ing about the streets, houseless, friendless, and ruined ? Why did Mr. Foster go to the States at all ? Here this class of emigrants would have been welcomed ard cared for. The girls were, it is said, induced by the sailors on ship to the course of life they adopted, and the New York Tribune holds that the commander of the ship is responsible, and that there is reason to believe that on the racket ships which come from European ports to the port of New Yotk m re women are r rostituted every year than in London, Paris, and New York put together. The name of the ship alluded to is the City of Mobile !

DOES NOT CHECK GROWTH.—Not a shadow of proof can be e:dueed that smoking stunts the growth. It is comparatively seldom that, at the very earliest, the practice is begun before the fifteenth year, when the frame . has already acquired its impress for life. The causes which arrest or accelerate growth are as y•t totally unkown to . us, whatever may be said to the ctntrary by those who profess to be acquainted with the most mysterious processes of nature. Dr. Campbell, with all his industry, collected one solitary case calculated to clear up this mystery—that of lii‘Gratl , , who nas experimented on in such a comfort able way by Berkeley, Bishop of Cloyne. The physical powers of the rising generation have not yet been shown to have degenerated below these of their ancestors; nay, there are good reasons for belit. , ,viog that in strength and endur ance they as far surpass them as they certainly do in clean liness and temperance. Whenever a name is to be gained or danger to be faced, on the breach or on the ocean, in the desert, the prairie, or the pampa, the Eeglishman is to be found. From him come the hardy back woodsman ; the enduring, daring lonely traveller ; the adventurous emigrant; men whoAave triumphed over a thousand diffi culties, and sought in a pipe for consolation in a thousand dangers. When the arm• ur was tried on for the Egliuton tournament, it was found that scarcely a suit was large enough for the degenerate wearers ; and our Guards would give an Equally good account of that in the Tower. No weaPoLa have been preserved which a modern athlete could not use. The NVlesAcrs of Cumberland and Westmoreland, of Devon and Col nwall ; the prize fighters of the southern and midland counties; the navvies of Lancashire ; the Guards, the boatmen of Cam, the Isis, the Tyre, and the Thames, would beat the men of last century into fits. In every manly exercise—boxing, running, wrestling, boating, riding—Young England need rot fear a rival. About 1P years ago the matter was put to a prec:ical test. A cricket match wps played at B•ighton, I believe (31r. Duwliog can set me right, perhaps), between the rmokers and smoke haters ; the latter were beaten.—Death in the Fide, by J. L.
