THE SHIP SENATOR OF LIVERPOOL. It will be seen from the subjoined letter that a Go verument:inquiry has at ler gth been obtained into the case of the captain and his trial at St Helena, and that the efforts of the owners or friends of the captain have met with ready response from the Home authorities—a result gratifying to the press, which has directed public attention to a ease of great injaitice and suffering, and to the perseverance of the owners and friends : Gentle.ren,—l am dratted by Mr. Secretary Labouctere to acknow:edge sour litter cf the g - ,h current, on the case of the Senator, and to infirm ye a th it he has ',Tetrad from the Lords of the Council for Trade, a c ,py of your letter of the Bth, addressed to; that department Mr. Laboaesere will greatly regret to learn, if the fact turn out to be , o, that sucA iajustic., as your letters in licate has beers corn miled towaris Ca2taia 1.. e, of the S3nstor, in the co!ony of St. 'Helena. Be he remains satisfiA, notwiths:anding the argnmerts therein educed, that this case cannot be c nsidercd by him, w th justice to the parties concerned and wth due regard to public policy, except on the recc:pt or that report from the authorities at St. Helena, which has been already app'ial for, as yon we'e inform , d by my letter of the ilth Jnne,—l am, So T..

This case is one of general importance to the shipping community, and the recent accounts from St. Helena dis• Close circumstances novel, and we hope unusual, in the administration cf justice. The Senator wason her home ward voyaga from Bombay to England, vvith a crew partially mutinous. An altercation and affray, provoked by the second mate, led to the accidental discharge of a pistol through the captain's toot catching in a sail. All concurred that it was accidental, and so signed the official log. Evun the wounded man did not dissent. The captain's grief and attentions to the wound, however, were rewarded after three days, with a general rising o' the crew, his being doubly ironed, and cotopelled to put about for St. Helena, where a charge of wilful shooting was preferred. The captain was detained in prison, his desire for a naval court, or to he sent home refused, and the vessel re-manned an I dispatched- In Ace time he was triPd—no witnesses (fleeted on hi; 3410—n0 lawyer to defend him--no one to oharacter—nn official log prorltred as required by the statute—with the !Crown Advocate acainst him, no wonder he was found guilty and sentenced to imprisonment. He has now suffered thirteen months' incn.reeratiol, and it appears that the conrt no jur- diction to try the in+ctment, and that it is void and defective on the face of it. Were such objections to exist on a t:ial in this country, a sho: t appeal by writ of error is attainab!e at a small cost and no delay; but our . . colonies seem to afford no appeal but to the Privy Council—a costly and tedious step, or t the royal prerogative, throu'ill the Secretary of State. as in the olden time in this country before appe.,ls wore pro ♦ided for. Repeated efforts to obtain a copy of the indict anent and record were frustrated for 12 months, and are yet no:Attained, although the Government has interposed and ordered them. The offioial log, too, h•ss been altogo• ther suppressed, and is not in its proper custody. An appeal.has been presented to the Privy Council on these facts, b•ut the long delay, and the necessity for fur ther reference to the colony. will render the costly step valueless. The case is a salutary lesson to shipowners and cap tains, and if our men are to be subject to detention and trial, let us at least protect them and ensure fair play, and a reasonable amour t of justice, even though it be at St. Helena, in return fcr heavy costs and other items. SEWS FR OM LIBE 31A. The Rev. Mr. Says writes from Careysburg in Liberia, that the cri.;is of scarcity is over in that loaality, but that the ordeal has been fearful, and has amounted almost to a famine. In other parts, many have actually been stary• ing. Twice, only, at Careysburg have they been driven to such a scanty supply as to have no bread for the pre sent meal. They have eat-n of their own potatoes, and will soon have a Rood crop of Cassavas. • The Colonisation Journal says, that at Cape Mount there has been a loss of four adults rod eight children out of ninety emigrants. while at Careysbtrg none have died. With such an evidence of the importance of interior locations, it trusts that no such oppressive conditions and burthens will be imposed by the Republic of Liberia as to drive the Colonizttion Soclety to abandon them, Let ters speak of great dullness in business, and of general scarcity of provisions, attributed in part to the late wars, and to the pol!cy of open trade for fereigm rs M. J. D. Johnson writes from Nlonrovia, Jaly 19, that great improvements are making at St. Paul's River, but there has been a hard time all along the coast. and he fears they will not be better off unlit they stop the inter course which the foreign traders now erjoy, and .which they sho ill not enjly exc.pt at ports of entry.

TH3 COST Or DRESS.—LftdieS P7h, used to dress handsomely on thirty poun 'a a year, now find that sum insufficient for-their gawps alone; and middie-elass young ladies, who bate hitherto been satisfied - vith twenty pounds a year, nre now driven to eheir wits' end to keep up with the mode at all; aed they have recourse to cheat) showy silks that will not last, or light ga , .atr materials requieirg a style of petticoat which makes the chess a costly one atter all. Maid-servants, who feria before deposited sornethirg in saving ' banks every pint- r, now feel morally cem;elled to buy twice as finery yet& re formerly for their towns. "It is bet nineperee a yard," tlie mistro:s says, when the gown is in print ; but the gowns are rot all prints; and if all r, quire eight or ten breadths in the skirt, ha different) at the end of the year to a girl whose wages are tea or tnelve pounds a year, is not smell. Finn the cheap print gowns require so much making, and cue so troublesome to wash and iron, that the custom is it tyrannous one to those on whom it weighs least. As for the most nernsrou: order of its victims, that of the midale•el:ss year, 1857, will be a mortifying or disastrous one in the family history of too many hoesehoYe. The cost of dress has become so dtspr pot Conte to other items of e4endi tare as to create serious difficulty in the homes of men of business, who have hitherto been able to provide their wives and daughters with whatever was needful to a satcderate complacency. The rich silks of the day, under their various nitres, of which every lady now thinks one at least absolutely necessary, cermet be had for a wife and daughters, with the prodigious trimmings which are equally indispen'ab'e, urder a less earn than would maintain a country clergyman, or halr-pay officer smi his family. The parerpherralia of ribb-ns, laces, fringes, and flowers, is more expensive than tlze entire gown of ten sears ago.— Westminster Review, new number. FeRGERIES AT Lvoas.—The Courrier de Lyoaes contains the following : —We have to annonece the arrest of a rich landed proprietor, named Deno nt, formerly a grocer in this city, for uttering forged notes. His name was some time ego before the public by a lawsuit which he instituted anainst the company formed to build the nee Iraperiale here, from whom, in the end, he &stained an indemnity of 125,000 fr. The bank notes forged are all fur 500 ft. and the mo :e adopted by him for puttirg them into circulation was most curious, keepers oftrothels being generally the victims At length cane of these persons - , being more acute than the others from whom he had succre led in obtaining change for his notes, detected the counterfeit and gait , information to the police, which led to his arrest. So well were the notes executed that one of them was received as a deposit by a clerk at the Savings' Balk, but detected later in the thy by another clerk. t'n being arrested by the police at his resider ee, a handsome house, his own pro perty, in the Cite Napoleon, a number of other votes besides those found on him were d'scovered 'concealed in different places. On being examined by the commissary of police, he at first said that all the notes had been given bim by a Pole, who died in the hostital at Lyons in 1852 ; but the falsehood of this story being clearly proved by some of the note; bearing the date of 1851, he found that further denial of his guilt was males", and he requested to he again taken to his house, where he pointed out a concealed place which was so made that its discovery would otherwise have been impossible, end where plates were found far manufactur ing the notes, as well as a bundle of notes amounting to 490,000'r. The amount of notes which he has put into circulation is not ex rctly known. it ap:eara that Dupont at first paid a werkman 51-. a day fur prit ting them, but the man aferrwardi deraanded and received 50fr. a week.

ACCIDENT ON THE TRENr VALLEY RAILWAY. On the morning of Monday, at half past two o'clock, as the up-express train was proceeding towards Rugby, and witheo two miles of it, while coming down an incline at a great speed (being more than half-en-hour behind time, and a very heavy o; e), it separated in about the centre. The enene being set free from part of its load, proaesdul at a fearful rate, and soon became detached from the guard's break. The driver socre discovered that he had left his train behind, and, it is said, reversed his engine. Thus the middle portion of the train became jammed between the last portion of the train which was followieg behind the engine. The conqrqeence was that the guard's break became a wreck Mr. MeGeeb, a gentleman from Shrewsbury, 'received intern I injuries of a painful nature, bat to what ex - ent, the Messrs. Ilucknells, of Rugby, who have been unremitting in their attention to him up to eight o'clock las, Light, were unable to di,c,ver. They think favourably of him. Mr. Jonea, a travelling Post office clerk, had his nose completely split from his temple dowa warle and Mr. La•r.s has been sent from London to a , tend upon him. He is said to be pro greeting fev, urably. Mr. Ashby, of Staines, receive I a wound in the forehead. but he was able to proceed efter afe A hours' delay. The sufferers were immediately conveyed to the E. 403 Hotel, Rugby, by the orders of Mr. Grew, the station-matter, where every attention W 713 paid to them. THE FRESCII EXHIBITION OF 1555. Prince Napoleon has published a report addressed to the Emperor of the Universal Exhibition of 1855 It dwells upon the d,ffieulties which attended the opening of the exhibition, owing to the war with Russia, and expresses an opinion that the respone3 made by the nations of Europe to the noble confidence of France must have greatly con tributed to bring about the general peace. With natural and ]audible pride, hiS imperial highness brings out in strong relief the fact that France showed herself, at the same momaut, great in peace and powerful is war. As a proof of the great attractton of the Exhibtion. it is stated that the police re , urns of the number of visitors at the hotels and furnished lodging-houses durirg the period of the exhibition (viz. from May 15 to Novemeer ZO), which, in 1854, was only 198.000, was in 1855, 330,000, showing an increase of an 132 000 Of the 330 000 visitors to Paris, so far as the number can be ascertained by the hotel books it appears that 231,000 were French subjects and 99,000 foreigners But the Prince's report observes that vase numbers, of whom no accurate account can be taken, must have lodged with r&a'ions and friends. It has been ascertained the number of railway travellers who arrived at the different station. , in Paris in 1853, was 4,081,000 against 3 223.000 in 1854. The total. number of visitors to the exhibition was 5 162,000, of whom 4,180,000 entered the great building p 35,000 the separate exhibition of the fine arts, and 46,000 the Chinese mus um, for which there was an extra payment. Of course the greater number of those who visited the fine arts exhibition had also visited the Palais d'lndustrie, but it is obviously impossible to know in whit proportion. Some very cu , ious staistics, showing the stringent actionof a high admission in keeping out the public, is contained in the report. The number of persons who paid for admission on Sundays,when 20c. was charged, was 2,182 ; 000, while the visitors on all other days of the week (Fricia)s excepted) amounted to 2,097,000. From the 16Th May to 31st July the entrance was fixed on Fridays at sfr. This charge operated almost as a prohibition. Only 33,000 persons paid that price, al the attraction of exclusiveness for the rich notwithstanding On the let of August, the Friday fee as reduced to 2f, and from that day to November 9 tl,e number of Friday visitors was 95,0t0. The Prince temarks up ne these figures that experience is alroget :et. in favour of cheapness (bon marcke). The report enters a: great leng , h iato the causes of the great expense of the Patti, liniver-al Exhibition of 1835, and emits the opinion that another exhibition of equal magnitude might be he, with the benefit of experience, for a third of the cost. On the quesri .n, however, whe'her exhibitions of this kind should be re p aced, the Prince is of opinion that on account of the vast space ;hat woull be required to keep pate with the progress of industry, they can only be ha,d at long intervals. Bat he lee( pees that exhibitions anivers rl, in the sense that al nations shall be permitted to compete, but pa, tial, in so far as to be confined to certain categories of manufactures, should be held in Paris frequently. In the meanwhile the building may he utilised as a theatre fir the exhibeion cf Fieech products only. SERIOUS CHARGE AGAINST A FRE ICEMAN. At the Mansion-House, London, on Monday, Charles Foul d, the Frenchman charged last week with obtaining credit to a large amount from various persone, on false pre ten ces, and eveciallv by representing himself to be related to M. Fonld, the F each Minister of the Interior, wad brought: up again for further examination. Me. Lewis ap. pear;cl for the prosecution, end Mr. Sleigh for the defence. Mr. J Sykes re-examined : The prisoner gave me an order for 150 toilet quilts, and directed them to be packed in double canvass, as they were to go to Paris I told hint they should be packed in wood cases, and he said they might be done so. Afterwards I deli vered three mice, containing the quilts, to a man in the prisoner's employ. The amount of the invoice was £lO4, and they were delivered on June 15th On the 18th June he called again, and had some samples of blankets, which he told me were wanted for the French army. The samples were delivered to his man as before, their value being £l4l 3i 63, Between that day and the 21th June he gave me an or ler for 100 mo e pairs of blankets of larger size, as samples for the French Government, and received them, their value being £ll3 154 7d. On the 27th of July I delivered him 222 pairs of blankets, as the first delivery on account of what be said was an or 'er for the government of France, their value being £lB6 104 6d, and he then told me to get the remainder of the 5,000 pairs as son as possib e, as he wanted to be getting the money from Franca. If I had known that his name was not Fould—that he was not related to the Prime M nister of France—that he had no order from the i French Government for the supply cf blankets—and that the geode; were not to go to Paris—l should not have snpptied him with goods to the amount of more than £1 000, nor on credit to any amount. On the 26th of Augu,t T. went to his counting-h .nee and could nft find him, and did not see him again until the 29th of Sep tem,er, when he was taken into custody. Cross-exeminel by Mr. Sleigh: I became acTiained with the prisoner on the 18th of May, and sold him goods to the amount of £144 4s. 61 , f.,r which he gave me a bill at three months, which has been diehonoured. Oa the same day I received another bid for £ll3, at two months, for goods sold to him on the 20 h. That bill was peid. He gave me a reference at fire, and I made inqui , y, the result of which satisfied me, before I parted with my goods. I afterwards gave a reference for him myself. I can't say that any one else was present when he told me about his contract for Feancs. He hes lent me money f time to time upon my which was to be taken cff the account. The largest amount Iso had at one time was £3O. The amount of all my was about £l7O When we talked about business, he told me he hoped and expected to be a contractor. Pater Ward said : I was in the pri soner's employment as porter from the beginning of March last till within the last wesk. It was part of my duty to fetch goods which he had purchased. I know Messrs. Sykes's place in Aldermanbary, and I have frequently fetched goofs from thence. I remember fetching three wooden cases from there by the prisoner's direction, add •aking them to Me. Arnold, a packer, in Barge-yard. A few -days after, I fetched them away from Mr. Arnold's. and took them to a Me Hart. in St. Mary Axe. A. few days afterwards, I fetched some bales from Messrs. Sykes, and took them to Mr Arnold's, and afterwards to Mr. Hart's, in the same way. I have taken goods direct from Mr. Sykes to Mr. Hart, but cannot say the dates. Edward Pound, warehouseman to Mr. Arnold, packer, Barge-yard, deposed that his master had been in the habit of packing goods for the prisoner, including some blankets lsft by the previous witness, and afterwards re-deliverei to him. Mr. S A. Hart, 22, Bury-street, St. Mary Axe, merchant and warehouseman : I have known the prisoner for about four months, and during that period I have bought many g o o ds of him. I - keep no bought ledger, but there would be an entry in my cheque book cf every payment to the prisoner, corresponding with the invoice rec ived from him, I have not the invoices here, but can produce them. I did not show the invoices to Mr. Sykes and the peli-e inspector when they called, because it was not convenient ; but I agreed to do so next day. I bought blankets, flan nels, and other things of the prisoner ; sometimes by samples, and sometimes in bulk. Sometimes I saw the bade at No 3, Cannon-street, and at other times at a packer's in Barge-yard. I can't say how many transac tions I have had with the prisoner. I recollect receiving three cases of quilts of him, containing 150 altogether. I had purchased them by samples, and on comparing the buek with the sample. I found the former inferior, and insisted upon having a reduction I bought them for 7s. 64. or 7s. 9d. all round, and sold them for Bs. 61. Mr. Lewis : Do you know that they were invoiced at lis6 i„ 13e. 61., and 15s. 6d ? Witness : No ; Ido not. Mr. Lewie: To whom did you sell them ? Witness : I decline to tell yeu tha. I will do so in private, if you please. It would do me a serious iejery to mention i' publicly. M. Lewis : But I don't want to hear any of your secrets, Witness : But injury has been done ma by the statement made in the papers on the last occasion , that I gave a mere nominal sum, and for the flannel I give ls. 61. per lb., nett, sold them for is 81. on the usual terms of the trade, and conkl have bought th)usands of pounds' worth this morning for leis money. I will bring my cheque book next time, and show what I paid. Mr. Lewis then applied for a remand, as there were other eases to be gone into. Tao prisoner was remanded accordingly.

Lead Stratford has iaforrned the Porte that vast quantities of weapons are brought up by the Mira- Mahommedan party for the use of their fellow bAievere an ladle. The wares ponlent asserts that the substance of the reply given by the Grand Vizier to his Lordship was, that he could not possiliy interfere with any private speculation which was prejudicial neither to the existence nor t) the welfare of Turkey. If the Austrian papers are to be believed, Baron Prokesch is now doing all in his power to per suade the Porte to sanction the &men by which the Viceroy of Egypt authorised M. de Lee ieps to form a canal across the Isthmus of Suez.

Mr. Curry, coroner for this toms, reports 650 :ncinetts during the year ending January, 1857. In thgt report Mr. Curry says thtt a great nu nher of accidental deaths arrtongchldren, were from burning and scalding; and it is remarkabls that eight out of ten of those children vr,ro burned or scalded from Saturd ty night to Tueso ay noraing, aid almost all wore the children of parents in humble life.

James Se vyer was once a sober and happy man, his business eros,,ere I, her worldly prospects ware flattermg, his famiiy all that be could desire; the sun never Ahone on m rre love, pe happiness, and comfort, than were found around the fireside of this man. Bat, in an evil hour, be tast4 the poisonous cue, and all was lost. He bee:me a drunkard. Oh that la=t hour of this victim of strong drink —the last bier of the destroyer of himself, and happiness of his famlly ; of him why hal deli.,e:atrly brought a blight upon all that was bee .tifol around him—it wac, indeed, awful. As ha lay upon his bed groaning wader the burden of a guilty con cienee, and his wife and children gathered around him and weeping by h a bed side— (druskard, have you experienced this? It awaits yea unless you reform) —the doctor ente.ts the room; " doctor, exclaimed the dying drunkard, do you think there is a hell" ? —laying strong em phasis on the last word as he uttered it. I do, replied the doctor. "'There is, rejoined. he." I feel it hers,laying his hand upon his breast ; I feel it here—the worm that can never die —the fire that can never be q tenehed—sternal torments—eternal punishment; I feel them ; they kava begun to be my portion even here. The doctor suggested the mercy of Go i to him, that it was infinite, and offered to the very v lost sinner on repentance. Catching the w#rd repentance—l c :num repent, he exclaimed ; I can reflect on my treatment to my dear wife, my dreadful abuse to my children, on my loss of respect, honour, and every noble feeling, and still not be moved, not be penitent; the day of repentance is past ; there is now no hope lam lost I I a.n lost 1 Horror struck with this expression of despair, and with the agony depicted cn the countenance of his wife, and the bursts of grief of his children, the doctor did no; know what to do. The poor man lay motionless for a short time, and then burst forth in tie most blasphemous expressions of horror and despair; and these were followed by a cry, as if amine from the world of woe for rum —give me some rum, give me some rum ! Fearing In his paroxysm of rage he might spring f. ern his bed and do mischief, as on a former occasion, the doctor ordered some to be given him. His miserable wife brought some to the bed side : raising himself on his pillow, and seizing the tarneler with a convu'sive grasp in both hands, he m de an ineffectual effort to raise it to his mouth. Enraged at his repeated failures, occasioned by the high oceitement of his nervous system, he uttered a dreadful oath, and called upon his trembling wife for assistance, who turned from soothing tine distress of their Youngest chid—a beautiful little girl of between five and six years of age—bet before she could get to him, he dished from him tlie tomb er, exclaiming damnation! damnation ! and expired 1 " 1 Tee In , : umanity drunleeeness engenders is another sad and appalling; evil. A few facts shah illustrate this awful truth. The enemies of the G)s;.el, aware oftlis, use intoxic sting drink as an agent to imomptish abominable 'les;gl4. Two priests in Italy, says Pater I . 3rn almond, in his 31 esseiger ,of Fabrairy, 1957, seeing a Roman Catholic girl come on' of a P,:otestant meeting, and know ng that intoxiaatin drink convertal her father into a savage, made him drunk in order t) iadace him to warder his own chid, which ha attemp sd with a knife, cat through the kind providence of God, she escaped. I England, the system to which these monsters belong, i 3 bed in its a,meal for re igioas Ikberty and religions tolera tion; and Englishmen suffer themselves to be cajoled wi h this base hypocrisy. A m o the name Reid, was summoned not along ago, before one of the police magistrates of London, for brut illy assault ng his wife. The poor woman, with her face one macs of bru!ses, and carry ing four of her front teeth In her hand, which he ha I knocked out, declar .d to the bench, that a kinder man never lived than he was, when he did not take drink. She said, if he would only take the pledge she would forgive him, and do her utmost to m ,ke hint com fortable, and she knew they would b h app j. He promised the , gistrate he would do so. A tetotaller happening to be in curt, stepped forward with a pledge; the man s;goed L in the presence of the bench, and a temperance missionary, who visits them, reports that they are very comfortable, and can now b 3 seen on a Sabbath morning on their way to the H 01133 of God instea I of the giu shop. Mrs. Owen was drank and making a great row in the street, in London, on the 2:th of May. Her daughter trying to get her into the house so enraged her that she seized the poker, infictiGg a blow on the heal, which caused her daagh , e death that night. Robert Mather, a rat w ‘y labourer, woo brought Wore the magis trates at Manchester, charged with throwine his own child, a girl about threeyears old, In the tire, when he was drunk, an i so severely was the child burnt, that it was stated by a mectcal gentleman that recove• y was doubtful. Patrick Bell, the keeper of a boerhotre, in B tnniere-etreet, Liver pool, was charged with assaulting his wife. Th 3 co:ileer founl him beating her in a most brutal manner, yet she refused to prosecute him, because he WAS a kind husband when he did not drink. Lord act ,n, when Sopre nejadgo of Rome, told Mr. Daleny, en American gentleman, that oa the nest d►y he would have to pass sentence of death on a man, who, when under the brutallzaig lath. once of intoxicating drink, butchere I his wife and mother; that whea the man did not take driak he was a kind husband, an aff se tionate father, and dutiful son. It is recorded that a brutal wo nan, under the influence of drink, positively, in her raga, cut a piece oat of the thtsh of her own child.

C'iTll3 to veli.ch an evil nature no longer checked can incite you, and that you in y awake from a stets of drunkenness guilty cs offences against the laws of your coant y sullaient to draw down just vengeance upon your head, an i while suffering the punishment of your evil deeds, or reflecting on the harm done, perhaps to your very best frion', what consolation can the r -mem brane of yonr worn , than lr.a.ty troj ,yment g;ve you. All the crimes on the eor:h do not destroy so many of the human race; nor alienate so much property, as drunkenness. Unfortunate drunkard, I Lel for yon; I know your sad con lit:on ; you arc wretched, a horrid appetite hurri , s you on in the :old to rain, abroad you are desdised, an i home is a desolation. It may be an affectionate, dut;fa', chris lan but broken hearts I wl e, weeps over you, unwilling to forsske yon—she prays, she hopes, she wa is for your re'orin, and for the return of those days when your fireside and the embrale of your family were your greatest solace. Conscience bids you yield to your loving Wife's entreaties; companions esy one glass more, and than—fatal glass!—yon rise b rt 0 tall again, and thus yOu feel -you never can reform. But you can refurn—the drunken prize-tigh er has reformed. .nd by abstainng from the soul destroying, moral blasting, hope destroying, family ruining drink, and imploring forgiveness at the heads of the God of Heaven, through grace bestowed by our told and Saviour Jesus Christ, has htcome a preacher of His blessed Gospel. Yes, thousands and thousands around you have 'reformed; I know reformed drunkards, in the enjoyment of christian Moony, that would not for the whole world go _back again to erunkenness; they are happy at home, r es pe c t e d abroad, well armed, and employed in reclaiming poor drunkards from their iniquity ; they feel for them, and their language ii, " Come with us, and we will do you good" —come sign the pledge of total ab linence, in this is your only safe shelter from the avenging power of intoxicating drink; In this is your only hope, this is a certain cure, touch not, taste nat the unclean things —rum, whiskey, gin, brandy, wine., or ale—except for religious ordinances ; touch not anything that intoxicates then will you be a new, a happy man. I ap3ak advisedly—l speak experimentally—l know you will be happy ii yon abstain from intoxicating drinks.. Begin now, in the strength of the Lord; from this moment resolve that none of those soul destroying, moral blasting. fam'ly ruining drinks shall a :ain enter your lips. The struggle may b 9 a severe one, but I tell you, from experience, that it will soon be over—say c ume life, come death, with the help of God will break t'ae chain that has so long bound me in the fe - ter3 of slavery; 1 will be free Happy moment when you thu resolve. C lristian parents, philanthropists, and patriots who take your glass, suffer ma to offer a word r two to you. If I had the Archangel's tramp, and oald spa ik with the voice of thunder, I would say to every christ an parent, you, who are instructed to mourn with those that mourn, think, 0 think, upon the heart rending scenes cud sorrows—the wives, widows, and childrea f drunkards exp rrience as they enter the foroidding door of the work house, until you give up your little drop. It seems to ma to be the duty of all who ca 1 then 'elves C nristians to do so. Let the philan thropist reflect upon the shattered minds—the humiliated feelings of those pauperised millions as they hove given one long and l isting upon the soeaety of the free and in leper' lent, and cast their first furtive g ante at their future companions, the sons and daughters of poverty —the inmates of the workhouse. Could I but wield the pencil of Fli 'girth, I would delineate such a pieta-e, that when the philanthro pist was filing it up he would be coo :trot nal irresistibly to adopt total abstinence principles, and while contemplating the llama suffering inflicted by drunkenness, would confess that alcohol is a mighty curse. Let the patriot amid the boast of Englanl being the land of the free, the home of the refugee elcaping the horrors of the tyrant, that none can be sold as slaves, reflect upon the feet that no other country on earth is charged with anything like the stigma ; that for every nine men there is a pauper —a being, fed and clothed by legal charity; a being, who his not one farthing's worth of property in the world, and whose position as a poutper, precludes him by law from the hare pessibility of acquiring the least amount of capital ; a being, indeed, whose sry freedom is sold to the parish in exchange for its cold chority ; a being, who cannot move at his will beyond pre icribei precincts; a being, who at work or leisure, is surrounded by walls, bolts, bars, an i locks; a being, though in England, the horns of the free, English born, and in the nine.eenth century, living upon English !oil, Is in very deed through drunkenness, a slave. I say, let the Christian think upon these appalling facts ; consult the word of God, and act from its dictates. Let the philanthropi st think upon them, and give free play to his purer sympathies. Let the patriot think and gaze upon the picture, thus delineating the evils of drank enness until his boasted regard for his countrymen and the reputation of his c 'wary prompts him to abandon Isis share in upholding these pauperised habits eageadered by drunkenness. Surely reform must be desirable. To obtain it is obv ously practicable, and certainly the change would compensate the cost—cost did I say. Why, really, j ust consider it ; it wouid reauire all to give up their glass ; oh, the happy change— _ . _ Drunkenness for sobriety; Diseaie for health ; Poverty for wealth ; Ins inity for— GJi'd best g:ft—reason ; Ignorance for knowledge ; Riot and crime for peace and plenty— The elevationof our social condition coming as certAin as the morr ow Drunkard, what think you of the change ? HOMICIDE OF A WIFE BY HER HUSBAND. At the Lambeth police-court, on Monday, Henry Welsh was brought up oo remand, charged with inflicting such serious injuries neon _Eifel Welsh, his wife, as to occasion her death Police-constable Isaac Sheppard, 49 L, in formed the magistrate that an inquest had that morning been held oa the body of the deceased, and a verdict of manslaughter returned against the prisoner. The witnesses were now all in attendance, with the exception of the medical gentleman who had attended the • deceased. Andrew Moore, a stoker employed at the Vauxhall gas works, deposed that he lodged with the prisoner and the deceased at No. 4, Model-buildings, High-street, Lambeth. On Saturday, the 19th ultimo, he and the prisoner went to Brixten to tee a (laughter of the latter, and on their return home at nigat they fouled that the deceased had left the apartment, and that 'the chi Been were alone and crying. Witness went to bd, and the prisoner set out in search of his wife. About midnight witness was awoke by the prisoner and his wife quarrelling, and he got np and went to the room in which they were talking. The prisoner blamed his wife for leevirg the children, ~and said he had found her outside a beershop in Vauxhall-walk. The deceased was very much intoxicated, and seemed scarcely able to'sit or stand. She was also very aggra vating in her language and manner, and at last the prisoner struck her a blow on the side of the head with his flat hand and she fell to the ground, her head coming in contact with the doorpost. Witness lifted her up, and the prisoner ordered her to go to bed, and she did so The following day she weft very ill, and the prisoner sent for a doctor, who at ended her up to the time of her death. Honor Stafford deposed that on the night in question she heard violent screaming in the prisoner's roam, and the deceased exclaim, " Oh, you will kill me." On the Wednesday the deceased became delirious, and died at midnight on Fridsy last. Mary Crawford, also an iomate sf the same house, gave 'estiwony to the same effect. This witness also beard the dreadful screaming spoken of b 7 the last witness, and further, that the deceased cried out, " Oh, you will murder me." and almost immediately afterwards she heard a heavy fall against the window. She did not see the deceased until the 23rd, when she was des gerously i.l, complaining of violent pains in her head, neck, back, bosom, and chest, all of which portions of her b,dy were bruised. The eyes were also blackened. She was only sensible at intervals ; but when so, she told the witness in the prisoner's presence that the injuries had been inflicted by him, adding that he ought not to have beat her so for raking a drop of beer, The constable Sheppard proved his apprehension of the prisoner, who. when told the charge was for violently ill using his wife, acknowledged that he had done so and that he was sorry for it. There being no other witnesses ready to give their testimony, the prisoner was remanded for further examination. An inquest was held at the White Lion public-house, High-street, Lambeth, be'oro Mr. Carter. Eliza Hutson deposed that she was sent for to attend Elie(' Welsh, on the morning of the 20th of Sept., and that on arriving at her residence, No 4, Model Houses, Vauxhall, she found her lying on a bed very rest less Her face on the left side was very much sw Alen, and very purple She was then insensible Mr Welth • told her (witness) that he struck his wife a flat-handed blow, that she fell, and that this was the cause of her illness. She put a blister on the B:da of her head. She lived a fortnight afterwards. At intervals she was in sensible. On one occasion, the 22ad, when she came to herself, she said, " I have been badly used, but by whom I don't know." Her husband, who was standing by, said, "My dear, by ma." She said, " Harry," which - was her husband's Christian name, " what money had I home with me on Saturday night ?" He repl ed 124 and some half. pence. She exclaimed, "My God, you will drive me mad if you say that—that is what you beat me for." The husband answered yes, "your stopping out and getting drunk, tad not getting my supper ready." In reply to a question from his wife, the husband stated he found her made a Jerry shop, and that he said he would pay her out for it when he got her home. The jury, after a brief deliberation, returned a ver dict of manslaughter against the prisoner, who was committed on the coroner's warrant.

Foau FRENCH NOTER.—Considerable excitement has been e;eated at Lyons, by the discovery of an extensive manufactory sf forged bank notes. The attention of tho police had been for some time past directed to the fact that a quantity of spurious notes of 500 f. were in circule- Orin, but no trace could be obtained of the guilty parties. The principal delinquent has at length been discovered and captured. He is named Dupont, is sixty-three years of age, and had retired some years ago from the grocery trade wile a small fortune. which he heel increased by in veetzents in house property. At the time of his arrest he we, aleo driving a roaring trade as a wholesale wine merchant. Above 500,000 francs worth of forged bank notes were found on his premises, and he has confessed hie gisilt. his wife, likewise an agelperson, has also been arrested. A workman, who had assisted him in engraving the pates, died seine time ago, in a hospital, at Lyons. FATAL GUNPOWDER FXPL , )SioN.—A. dreadful explosion took place a few days ago, at the East Cornwall gunpowder mils, at Herodsfoet, by which four men, namol Edge combe, Whiting, Rogers, and Pett ware killed. The shook was felt at Liskarl ; buildings adjoining the mills were unroofed, and considerable damage was done. With the death of the men the cruse of the explosion is involved in mystery. Rogers Las left a wife and ten children, and Whiting was only lately married. An inquest has been held on the only body found, the other three poor fellows having been blown to atoms. A verdict of " Aceilental death" was returned, and the jury recommended that a smaller quantity of gunpowder should be kept on the premises. It appears that a similar accident occurred on the seine premises three months ago. Au explosion of eenpeader took place on the same day, at Wheal Lovel Mine, CAtnwall, by which two men, named Wearn and Dinnis were dreadfully injured. The former is likely to rec wter ' bet Dinnis dial the same night. Tea LATE ST talus IN SOUTIIERI ITALY.—The Official Journal of the Two Sicilies, of the 23rd ult., eontinees to give ace , unts of the damage done by the violeet rains which occurred lately in various provinces of the kingdom, especially in Terra di Levoro, and in the neighbourhood of Istelise and Bari. A bridge, of boats over the river Voltaire° was washed away; the commueication bAween Casino aed Cerreto was interrupte.l, and a young woman of the latter ]:lies was carried away by the current and drowned. Ties communes of Casalduni, Pontelaedolfo, Foieno, and Compolettare suffered immense losses in cattle and fanning stores; but, happily, no lives were lost. At C'mnoea, in the province of Bari, a hailstorm devastated the district ; the hails:ones were of the size of a walnut. At San Marc) di Cavo:i, in the province of Principate U.- teriore, the Tammerecehie overflowed its banks, committing great reveges ; a woman in a state of pregnancy and her four children were drowaA, and the bridge of Pecciariello was carved away. THE NEW ATTaACTI)Na OF VIM PARIS Bouasn.—lt was lately reported that the charge for admisstoe to the Bourse, which, when fist imp ,sed, c .used so much grumbling and atforOed a famous theme for the Chiravari, was to be abolished, bur the pipers new say that no such idea his been for a inomeut entertained. They give et the sam time some p wielders, of additions that are to be made to the Brurse, in the shape of four guardhouses, one at each corner of the editi33, and which are to be occupied re spectively by tiremee, garb de Paris, sergens de vine, sod g tardians of the building. Moreover it is said that the iron railings on either side of the Byirsa are to be throqn back 8) as to enclose the two open specs upon rah people can no,/ meet and . walk without pay.nsnt, and that these plots of ground will be planted and laid out as gardens, iu which speeelators can 'agreeably saunter while discussing the rise and fall. This uai in of floriculture and steel-jobbing is a nevrlty worthy of originating in the tasteful capital of France, where ease and luxury ate carried to their utmost limit. It will be delightful for the weary agent de change to escape from the din ae:cl steam of the parquet to toe tranquility of shrubberies fragrant with roses, and for the cozeissier, unprospereus in his venture', to seek relief for his agitated naiad in the contemplation of nature's beauties. The cultivation of stocks will, of course, be most success fully pursued in these new gardens, and doubtless all the inmates of the four guard-houses will not be too many to restrain , he bulls and bears from ravaging the parterres. THE FRENCH PRESS AND THE INDIAN MUTINIES. —A Paris correspondent says .—While discussing —many in a friendly, some few in a ho,tile spirit to England —the events and chances of the Indian insurrection, none of the Paris papers can refuse their admiration to the heroic efforts of the few sc tray boft iliono of Europeans scattered among sud making head against tens of thousands of enemies. And white acknowledging, some few of them unwillingly enough, the often-proved gallantry and in vinciele tenacity of the British soldier, they are also compelled to applaud the energy and self-confidence with whichthe British nation meets its disasters. " Ces braves gens sont dignes d'art Francais!" exclaimed a French piper, the oaaer day, whoa recording the exploits of a handful of E iglish opposed to a host of Sepoys. Although this may excite a smile in England, I need not say that, in a Frenchman's mouth, it is'the very highest form of praise. To-day, a journal remarkable for its hatred of England con ,a'ns, in its review of the financial week, the following paragraph : —" In London no business is doing. Nevertheless consuls maintain themselves, notwithstanding the gravity of the news from Indic. This is one of the most curious phase.; of the English financi d market, and can be explained only by t'pe national pride of a c matry which wilt not avow its embarrassments, or , perhaps even which is so convinces that the resistance to its domin ition will be overcome that it awaits with paience the hour of its definitive triumph. Whit is quite certain is, that all the circumstances are formally and incontestably productive of decay and feebleness, and that by a. moral energy fo- which one cannot give too great credit (dont on ne peut savoir trop gre) to the national spirit that inspires it, nothing is betrayed outwardly of the effects of The gigantic s:raggle in which England finds herself engaged."
