A SUNDAY SCENE IN A WOEICaOUSE At the Bow-street police•court on Mondale Ann Clarey, a stout hearty locking young woman, and 'Sophia Ray, a deaf and dumb girl, who had been in the union from her infency, were charged with riotous conduct in the Strand Union Woikhenee, Cleveland-street, and smashing sixty three panes of glass. The labour master and one of the matrons proved that both the girls were inmates of the house, and belonged to what was called the " refractory " class of paupers. Clarey elmented herself last week, bat returned on Friday night, decorated wi'h a paie of gilt earrings and showy drape. She was desired to take them off, it being contrary to the discipline of the workhouse to allow the female paupers to wear earrings. She refused, and owing to this and other mis conduct she was put on " low diet," consisting of bread and water. The other defendant ('he dumb girl) was also put on low diet for disorderly ehaviour. On Sunday both the girls were, as usual, in the refractory ward, and they behaved with such violence, teat the chaplain could scarcely proceed with di.ine worship. The dumb girl howled like a mad woman, her cries being heard all over the building. They were served with bread and water in the morning, and not withstanding their misconduct, were allowed a pentad of pntatoes each at dinner time, but no Lc eat. Ad the afterno n the disturbance was continued, and nothing whatever could •be done with them. The ma ron tried to coax them to be quiet, but every effort was disregarded, and the defendants to gether smashed every pane of glass in the ward, making fi3 panes in all. Clarey declared that her olject was to get into prison. Defendant Clarey : So it ass. I would sooner be in a prison at any time than the workhouse. We had only a bit of dry bread all day. The potatoes were not fit for a pig. The labour-master, in answer to his worship, said the potatoes were very good—the same that were cooked all over the house. The refractory ward was not a place for punishment—it was where paupers of a certain elate were placed. lie believed the deaf and dumb gill was led cn by the defendant Clarey, who was a very violent tempered woman. The charge was explained to Blay, whe premised not to repeat such conduct, aed was diseherg d : but Mr Jardine fined Clayey 325, her share of the damage done, and in default sentenced her to six weeks' impriecnmenr.

THE 'NORTHERN TlMt.6.---LIVERPOOL, WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 16. 1857, OLICE I7 .ITIfiLLIGENCE-YEk TERPAT. LIVERPOOL. tiItP,RE MR. IuNSFICI.D. A'',Art,TYNG A WIFE.— John Thomas, a respectable log Ring person, formerly a publican, was charged with having assaul ed his wife. The drunken habits of the prismier caused him io give op house, and he was in tlie habit of beating his scale in the most horrible m inner. He got some bad notion into his head about her conduct, and this caused him to beat her when be got drunk, One f her sons took a place for her in School-lane, and on the '23rd August, the prisoner went there and committed a violent assault on her. This was corrcbora . ed by her son, and the prisoner was ordered to find two sureties in £25 each, and himself in £5O to keep the peace, or in de fault to be imprisoned for six months. ATTFOIPTID SUICIDE.—A young woman named Catherine Williams, the wife of a galvadz3d iron worker, was charged with having attempted to put an end to her lie, by taking a quantity of la Idanum. It appeared that she had, from time to time, purchased small quantities of the above l'quid, until she got a good 'quantity together; and then she swallowed it an I was faund in a state of insensibility, with the empty bottle in her hand. An alarm was raised by the neighbours, and she was taken to the Northern H os pit a l, w h ere the usual reatedies were retorted to, with succese. It seemed she took the drug under an impression that some one was about to tell her husband something disparaging to her character. She was sent to the workhouse for the present. A SCOUNDREL.—A respectable young woman, named Janet Teats, an assistant in the drapery house of Mr. Edward Lewis, of Great George-street, was put to the bar. She appeared very much affected. Mr. Clough said the case was a most painful one, and the charge against the young lady most unfounded. hhe was passing from Christian street to Great George's-street, the previous night, where she was followed by a man, who made some improper over tures to her. She told him he was a ruffian an I a scoundrel, and told him she would call the police. When passing the Adelphi Hotel, the fellow vaned police-officer 510, at d charged her wish stealing a si k pocket bandker ief from his pocket. She indignantly denied th3eharga, but the man persisted in the charge, and she was taken to bridewell, where she was searched, but nothing found. She still alleged that the charge was an infamous one, and made out of revenge. The prosecutor gave his name as John Robinson, and said he lived at No. 5 Rose-place. Some suspicion arose at the station about the story told by the man, and the police made inquiry, and found that the man did not reside there, and, on further enquiry, it was found that be was a journeyman tailor, working some place about Lord street, and :hat he lives in a court off Grosvenor-street. It was found that the charge was quite groundless, and, of course, the fellow did not appear. Mr. James Thompson, the manager of Mr. Lewis' house, gave the young lady a very high character, and said every one felt indignant at the charge, and if the fellow could be got, the house he re presen ed would punish him as far as the law would go Mr. Clough said he hoped the police would be ab!e to find him. The young lady was discharged, and at once three attornies rushed out after the representative of Mr. Lewis, no doubt in order to get the Job," but, notwithstanding the trio, Mr. Bluck was subsequently instaucted to bring an action against the fellow. ASSAtTLTii—Michael Farrell, a lab'urer was charged with having assaulted a man named Daniel M'Lee The prosecutor was goirg up Lime-kiln lane, when he was accosted by the prisoner and another man, who spoke to him in some langusge that he did not understand, and asked him if he cou'a answer them ? He said he could not, when the prisoner knocked him down and k'cked him The prisoner was fined £2, or two months imprisonment. —George Hume, who lives in No. .5 shirr, Dukenfield street, charged wife with having broken his head with a jug. Toe prisoner is one of th:)3 drunken women who are totally incorrigabl i p • and, whilst in a fir. of drunken ness, she nearly smashed the poor fellow's head with a blow of a jug. She wgs sent to gaol for two months, with hard labour. THE BANK BILL CASE.--Samuel Ackerly and William Rafferty were brcught up on the above charge, the details of which appeared in Monday and Tu,sclay's paper. Mr. Godfrey was for Rafferty, and Mr. Almond for Ackerly. Mr. Hunt was examined de nero, and cross-examined. The only thing now elicited by Mr. Godfrey was, that on the night Mr. Hunt lost his pocket book, be WAS accosted by a female, who said, "I think you are an Irish gentle. man." "I am," replied he. "Then give me the price of a drink, she said, " for lam an Irish woman." He took out a small purse and gave her a shelling, and immediately after she wh:sked by him and snatched his book, that conta;nel the bill, from h s pocket. The prisoners were sent f r trial. UNWHOLESOME FOOD —.Michael Collins was charged at the suit of the Abairoir 'Slaughtering Company, of Trow bridge-street, under the Lllowing circumstances : —Mr. Townsend appeared for the prosecution, and Me. Buck for the prisoner. The point in issue was this: There was a rule that no slink vest (as it is called) shoukl be taken from the slaughter-house, least it should be used as food for human beings. It seemed that two men tuck a slink calf from the place and gave it to ihe prisoner, and the allegation was that he would have used it, had nit the police discovered it The question was argued at some length by Mr. Bluck and Mr, Townsen as to V4e owner of the property, and at length his Wrship said, that as it was the first. case that came before him, he would dis charge the prisoner wi , h a strong caution, and trusted it would be a warning to him and othfra, for if any one came before him on a similar charge he would inflict a he ivy fine.

(To be continued ) EXTRAORD:NARY CHARGE OF BURGLARY AGAIN6T. A BOY. At the City of London Guildhall, on Monday, Charles Goodwin, a lad about seventeen years of age, was brought up, charged with having burOarionsly entered the premises of Messrs. Leighton, Son, and Hodge, bookbinders, of 13, Shoe-lane, and stolen therefrom a quantity of valuable books, to the ex ent of about £5O. Mr. Wontner attended for the prosecution, and stated that about a fertnight ag ) Messrs. Leighton's premises were entered during the night, as was snppoeed by the prisoner, and property entrusted to them for binding purposes removed. It appeared that the prisoner's brother occupied a part of the house over an oil chop two doors off, from which the prisoner, who was a frequent visitor there, could, by crossing the leads, get at the skylight cf Messrs. Leighton's workshop. The robbery took place on Saturday, the 29th of August, and on the discovery being made on the following Monday, Gaylor, a detective officer•, was called in, and be examined the premises, when he Lund that they had been entered by the skylight. He then traced footmarks from the skylight across the leads to the oil shop, and in doirg so he found some of the foetmarks so exceedingly p'ain that he was able to swear positively that they had been reads with heavily nailed boots, and ?het come of the nails were wanting in the boots was evident ft.= the males. On pu 'suing his enquiries further, he ascertained that on the night of the robbery, the prisoner went to see his brother; that the oil shop keeper heard a noise of some one walking on the leads, and called our, asking who was there, when a voice, he b lieved was the prisoner's, answered, "It is only me " Not being satisfies', however, he took a candle to ascertain who i; Was, when he again heard the same voice saying, "It's all right, it's only me," and shortly afterwards the prisoner ran down stairs, and passed through the shop, and hal not been seen since. The prisoner's brother heard a crash of glass on' that night, and sent out to inquire what was the cause of it, and on the following morning he found a bag containing about two thirds of the stolen property, which the prisoner, having been disturbed, had been obliged to leave behind him. When the prisoner eves apprehended on Saturday last a pawnbroker's dup icate for a pair of boots was found upon him, and upon redeeming those boots there were some of the nails deficient, corresponding to the marks which had in the first instance indi cated such deficiency. The fees of the case were of a somewhat fragmentary character, but - when the evidence should be completed, the worthy alderman would then see a chain of extraordinary circumstances which could leave no roam for the srghtest doubt as to the prisoner's guilt. Richard Grose. was then called, and said he was in Messrs. Le ghton's employ, and on Satur day, the 29th of August last, left the premises at five o'clock. At that time seventeen copies of "Evangeline," End two copies of the Grammar of Ornament,'' were quite We in the binding•room, but he missed them on Monday morning. Gaylor said, on exemiteng the premises he founi two panes of glass in the skylight had been broken, and upon a dust bin which must have been crossed to get at the warehouse he saw recent marks, which induced him to believe they were made by the blots produced, and hic'a he had redeemed since the prisoner was apprehend ed. Thomes Proctor, the keeper of the oil shop, gave evidence to the effect stated by Mr. Wontner. Gaylor also stated that when the prisoner was sbown the boots he said they belonged to him, and that he pledged them at Payne's, in Shoe-lane, from which place they hal been redeemed with the duplicate found in the prisoner's pos session. The value of the books removed from the prose cutor's premises was estimatel at upwards of £OO. The two copies of the " Grammar of Ornament" alone being of the value of 120 each volume. The prisoner was remanded. THE SUEZ CANAL. Mr. Lange having asked Mr. Hutt, M.P., for an explanation of his letter to the secretary of the Gateshead Chamber of Commerce, on the Suez Canal, the hon. gentleman has addressed to him the following, reply : _ _ Gibside, Sept. 6, 1857. Sir, I thought that the statement contained in my le.ter to the Chamber of Commerce aftladed, by itself, an explanatii n of any change my opinions may have under gone on the subject of he projected Suez Canal. But as the statement does not appear to have satisfied your mind, I will endeavour to be more explicit. I believe it is rather more than two years ?go that I was very much struck with an able and elaborate paper in favour of M. Lesseps' Canal, which appeared in a French periodical work called La Revue (lei Deux Mondes." I felt greatly interested in the project ; and the policy of the government in opposing it appeared to rue, after some in quiries which I u.ade on the subject, quite unintelligible. You say I called it absurd. I dare say I did; I certainly thought so. In accordance with the advice of some friends whom I consulted, I contemplated calling for explanations from the government by means of a motion in parliament. A closer investigation of this subject, h)wever, which I subse• quently entered upon, c. nmiderably modified the opinion I had formed in the first instance respecting it, and induced me to abandon my purpose of agitating it in the House of Commons. I have since understood that a gentleman, who, I believe, may be considered the highest authority in England on this question, and who encouraged ms, at one time, to brirg it u ,der public discussion, has also seen reason to question the validity cf his early opinion of the value of such a canal to this county. I have only to add that the conversation which, in com mon with the members for Newcastle, I had with Lord Palmerston on the occasi,,n of presenting to him the me morial from tho Chamber of Commerce, suggested to my mind some further doubts as to the interest of Great Eritain in the eanstruclion of the canal. Such, &ix, is my explanation of the ineonkistency with Vh;ch you appear to be dikpleaced. I hffe given it with out held ation ; but allow me to remark, that your letters seem rather deficient in that tone of courtesy which I think I have a right to expect from every one.—Your obedient, humble Ese t, WILLIAM BUTT.

FALL OF A WALL AND Iwo SUEDI AT CAND7N Tows.—On Sunday evening, the constable and c3llector ' (,f the Regent's Canal C , ropany, at Camden Town, dis- ' c. , vered that the wall which skirts the canal there was unsafe, and he at once g't it chord up. This wall, which some goods sheds of Messrs. P ekforct adjoin, is ex , ctly app site the semi, of the late disastrous fire at the railway gOs st,tion. A' tut two o'clock yei•tet day morning, the fi.eillati •e gave way, pushing the towieg-path out. The sheds th?ri tell wi , h a tremendous crash.

The wall ban been built nearly 25 years. CASE OF STABBING. At the Clerkenwell Police-court, on Monday, Ann Page, a dirty-looking woman, who has been several times in custody for uttering counterfeit coin and other offences, was charged with feloniously catiing and wounding Henry Johnson, a general dealer, on the evening of the 19th inst., at B:tldwin's-gardens. The prosecutor, who appeared very weak from loss of blood, said : I reside at 11, Beldwin's-gardens. On Wednesday evening, between the hours of six and seven, I was standing in the court when the prisoner's daughter, v, ho was coming down, began to abuse me skint my wife. We had some words together, when the daughter struck me twice. When I was returning the blow the prisoner came up behind me and struck me with something sharp —a knit.), I believe—l bled very much, and my clothes were saturated. I was then taken to the Royal Free H spital, where my wound was dressed by the house surgeon. Iha not struck the peisoner. Mrs. Sarah Louisa Sear said that she WiS passing, and saw the whole of the transac tion. The prisoner went up behind the prosecutor and stabbed him behind four times, saying, "I have served him the same as they ch the Norfolk bullocks." Mr. William Curren, house surgeon at the Royal Free Hos pital, Gray's inn -road, said the complainant was brought to the hospital on Wednesday evening, when he was very weak and fainting from loss of blood. Upon examining him he found he had an incised wound at the back of the neck, but it was of no very great depth or extent. It bled very freely, and seemed as if done with a sharp instru ment. Mr. Tyrwhitt: Do you consider the wound dangerous? Mr. Curren : No, I do not consider it at all dangerous. The prisoner in defence said that it was all got up out of spite, and to show how bad the complainant was, she could state that he was going to work on Tuesday. He and his wife, because the prisoner had received notice to qu't, broke into her room, de.troyed her little bit of furniture, and saturated her clothes with water. Mr. Tyrwhitt asked the complsinant whether he wished the case to be dea t with summarily, or whether he would have it sent to the sessions? Complainant: I will leave it in your hands, sir, and I hope you will be as lenient as possible with he:. Mr. Tyrwhitt said it was a fortunate thing for the prisoner that the prosecutor did not wish the care to go to the sessions, for there she m'ght have received a heavy punish ment. It was no feult of hers that she had not inflicted a very severe injury on the complainant. He should inflict upon her the full penaly, viz., 51, or two months' hard labour in the house of Correction. The money not being paid, the prisoner was locked up.

LIWIi & COMPA2•Y, itanelagiz--atreet THE WEATIIRE AND CROPS r s SCDTLAND. —Most unsea sonable weather for cutting and gathering in the crop 3 of B..otland prevailed for some days, and great bars were enterta;ned for the results, as about one-third of the crop only had been secured in the north. The rainy weather has alEo increased the potato disease, and a correspondent, who has jest travelled over the greater part of the north of Scotldnd, says :—"lrbe loss may be estimated at one third ; but as the potatoes are a very heavy crop this season, the totol Vabtity saved will, after all, be little short of an average crop." The weather has since im proved, and allowed tae retnairOix harvest operations to be completed. DELIBERATE MURDER IN NOTTINGHAMSHIRE. Some months ago Wm. Holland, of Girton, a village about eight miles from Newark, purohased a crop of clover growing in a field occupied by James Wright, of North Searle. Subsequently, Wright proposed to reeurn £5 which had been paid for the clover, and give et'l com pensation, in order to annul the bargain. To this Holland agreed, but as the money was n t paid he, of course, con tinued to fetch away the clover as he required it. At the Lincoln County Police Court, yesterday week, a son of Holland's was charged by Wright with stealing clover fom his field, bat on it b in g satisfactorily proved that he was acting on his fether's authority, and that the clover really belonged to Mr Rolla, the magistrates dismissed the case, and ordered the p:osccutor to pay the costs. On the following evening Mr. Hoilaed and one of his sons went to the field for the purpose of carrying away some of the clover. Upon their getting there they observed Wright in an adjeinieg field, with a gun in his possession. He aeked them to be gone, or he would " blow theirheads off " This the elder Holland declined to do, and was pro ceeding to gather some of his clover when Wright called out that, if he did not go away he would shoot him Holland then became frightened, and proceeded towards where Wright was standing, for the purpose, we suppose, of asking au explanation of his conduct. On his coming up, Wright stepped back a few yards, and, saying " D you, shot you," fired At Holland, and wounded him frightfully on the kne'. Wright expressed no regret for what he had done, but repeatedly said, "I have done what I meant to do. .If I cannot get the clover by the laws of my country, I will have it by my osn law." Mr. was taken home, and a surgeon was sent for, but he saw at once the hemorrhage could not be stopped with out sacrificing the limb. Two other surgeons were called in, and, as they all agreed that it would be necessary to emputive the limb, the operation was performed. Mr. Holland, however, died half an hour afterwards, being about five hours after he had been wounded. His death may be sacrib. d to the effects of the surgical operation, but the surgeons declare that it would have been ime possible for him to have lived even had the limb been, allowed to remain, It appears that Wright was discovered standing near the clover field, with a gun in his hand, as early as five o'clock in the morning of the day on which the crime was committed, and that he had said to a person who then happened to pass him, that it was his intention to shoot Holland if he meddled with the clover. These are the facts of the case as adduced at the inquest. The re-ult was that the jury returned a verdict of " Wilful Murder" agrinst Wright, and he now lies in Newark gaol, committed to take his trial at the next Northamptonshire assizes.—Nott's Observer. OPEN AIR PREACHING. Metropoli•an Police-office, 4, Whitehall-place, B,h May, 1857. - Sir,--I have to acknowledge thu receipt of a memorial by yourself and several resident householders, iu the v i c i n i ry of the Obelisk, St. George's, Sau hwark, • cornp!aining of the nuisance caused by preaching and immoral discourses there on Sund,qs, and the opportunity given to thieves and pickpockets to commit crime ; and I have to acquiint you in reply that inquiries shall be nude as to any necessity for the police inter ferenco.—l am, sir, your obedient, RICHARD MAYNE. To Mr. Lock. His worship would see that the date of the letter was the Bth of May ; and though the nuisance had not only contineed, but had moreover, as could be provel by gentlemen who accompanied him, increased ; yet no decided interference had been made on the part of the police to check it. Mr. Solly, a medical gentleman, residing in the Crescent opposite the Obelisk, stated that the nuisance for many weeks past had been of the most intolerable description ; and said the inhabitants were fre quent y disturbe t by the uproar there carried on to as late as twelve and one o'clock in the morning. Other gentle men present corroborated there facts, and represented the language of some of the preachers to be of the most impious and blasphemous character. Mr. Elliott ex pressed surprise that such proceedings should be allowed, and at such a place, when the constable ThomEsoa explained that some months since the Protestant clergy man of a neighbou hing parish, had applied f,r per mission to the commissioners of Police, to preach a: the ObeLsk, and the permission was granted; so long as the public highway was not impeded, and disturbances were avoided. This led other preachers to the same place, and the result was, that the former discontitued his labours, and the litter remained, th) bcsna then wire vazy noisy, and the language improper. Mr.Eiliott wa3 of opinion that such proceeding 9 apald not b 3 allowed, and thou& that on a proper representation to the coat- missroners of Police of the nuisance, they would give directions for its removal. Mr. Lock said he should P I : lgges t that a deputation of the inhabitanta should wait on Sir Richard Mayne, to point out to him the extent of the evil ; and asked if such deputation w.mid be at liberty to mention to him (Sir Richard) the opinion expressed by his worship. Mr. Elliott replied that they might ; upon which Mr. Lock having expressed bis thanks to the magistrate for his courtesy and kindness, left the court in company with the gentlemen who attended with him.

FRIGHTFUL ACCIDENT. —Oa Monday an ingnest was held by J. Broxmrigg, Esq., C roner for the county Wex ford, and a respec;abie jury, in the town of Ferns, on the body of a fine young womanotgel 26. _named Hannah Caldwell. D ceased, it appears, after the hour of truss', and while the Protestant inhabitants were attending divine service, at the cathedral on S inday, pissed by that building, and entered the ruins of the ancient abbey which adjoins it. -There she ascended the- beautiful old round tower, accompanied only by her brother. In his eviieece, he stated that his sister having reached rile top of the tower, climbed up a nd sat upon the parapet wall which surrounds the summit. In a few mornsnts she lost her balance, and fell to the ground fr -An a height of about seventy feet ! But although she sp ks for a short time, and was not aware at first that death was so near, in less than half art hour from the time of her fall she was in eternity. The jury returae4 a verdict of "Accidental Death."-Ca rlow Sentinel. At the Lambeth police court, on Monday, Joseph Thew, a middle egad man, a tronemason by business, was charged with creating a disturbance at the Obelisk, near the eurrey Theatre. Joseph Thompson, 19 L, deposed that on the preceding evening, about four o'clock, while on duty, he heard a great- disturbance at the Obelisk, at the end of the Blackfriara-road, and on approaching the place he found a mob of from 200 to 300 persons, and this crowd was momentarily increased by the loud and violent abuse addressed by the prisoner to another man. He was told by the crowd that the parties had quarrelled in conse quence of a religions controversy, and their language was anything but of a religious chara2ter. He tola both they must go about their business, and the other man did go away, but the prisoner remained, and continued so violent and vociferous in his largusgs, that he was compelled to take him to the sta'ien-house. Th 3 witness added that the scenes at the Obelisk almost every night, and more particularly on a' Sunday, were of the most noisy description. Police constable Revel], 175 L, corroborated the testimony of the last witness as to the cmduct of the prisoner, and the general disturbances at the Obelisk caused by the controversialists. Mr. E liott : Was the prisoner perfectly sober at the time ? Thompson : No, sir ; he wa4 a good deal the worse for liquor. Mr. Mr. Elliott, to:the prisoner : Well, what have you gat to say to this improper conduct of yours? Prisoner: Well, sir, I went to the °bask to bear the preachers, and in the course of the discourse the name of Onrist came up, and a man that was there sa'd he was an impostor. I told him that he was no impostor, and that he deserved tO be kicked for saying so, and I don't know of anything else I did. Mr. Elliott: Was there a great disturbance caused by these proceedings ? Thompson : Oh yes, sir ; and the scenes there are very disgraceful. Mr. Elliott ordered the prisoner to find bail for his good behaviour for one month. Mr. Lock, a vestryman of the parish of St. George the Martyr, Southwark, in which the Obelisk is situated, and who was accompanied by Messrs lolly, Hinckley, and Goswell, respectable inhabi. tants of the vicinity, here addressed the magis trate, and said that for years the residents of the neighbourhood had been subjected to considerable annoyance by assemblages drawn together by preachers and different controversialists, but the evil during the recent and present fine wea - her had increased to such an intolerable degree that it became absolutely necessary to abolish it. With this object in view, some of the inhabi tants had requ.red him (Mr. Lock) as a vestryman, to move in the matter, and in April last he had a memorial, numerously signed, presented to Sir Richard Mayne, praying that the pol ce would interfere and remove the nuisance ; and he soon after received the following answer to the memorial from Sir R. Mayas, which he begged to hind to his worship : [Continued from 15th Sepfem6or] I may add another melaecho l y illustration of the panful result of a mother drinki ig. A deaf and dumb boy being removed to a distance from his widowed mother, to one of those exeallent institutions a deaf and dumb school, which, with other benevolett it stitu:ions, give a halo to England's greatness, and shed glory roun2 her brow. After being at the institution some time, he expressed a wish, which was conceded to him, to see his maker. No doubt the filleted boy would look foreeard to the meriting ue was is go with joyous antcipaton. At hat the morning arrived ; off he starts; at every step doubtless his heart would swell with the anticipation of his mother's embrace, and the reciprecetion o: Kite affection. Alas how frail and uncertain are human ho2es when resting on fallen hti vanity. At last the litt 'e fellow comes ia sight of the abode cf her in whom his soul's affections centred. He opens the long-looked tor door, and, lo instead of the mother's kiss acid embrace, she was senseless drunk ; the sight was overpowering to him, who had been instructed in the institution that the drunkard canto', iuherit the Kiteglom of Heaven. The speechless boy ran into a neighbour's house where he was won't to go prior to bring removed to the ins notion, and there the pierced soul, in bleed ing agony, wrote upon the lithe slate he carried with hm, a substitution for speech, the follewing dumb, but eloquent teetotal oration—" Drunkards cannot inheric the Kingdom of Heaven;" " Ohs my poor mother is drunk," and instantly expired. Aga'n, a y mth, 14 years of tv:e had been induce Ito steal by his drunken m' tier, that she might obtain drink. The boy was wandering penniless and hunger, tempted him to steel some bread, for which he was committed to pri son. The officer in cha-ge of him in l risen observed him reading the Bible on funday, bat on giving him a second visit found him sus pended to a gas pipe, with his hammock g*rth and dead.—" Of e hom wi 1 the blood of this child b 3 requ red, snag nnch, said the Savio sr, PS ye did it not unto one of th 3 last of these my children ye did it not to >le." Drunkenness is like the mountains of Greenitnd, coil and covered with perpetual snow—yes, druntenness blunts and blasts all the finer feelings of human nature. It is a concentrated and masked fire which, like a friction match on being excited, breaks into a consuming flame. A single drop of fermented liquor has brought back to confirmed and hopeless d nnkenness. Many a reformed (rankard who had fough t manfully with temptation until he believed he had slain his enemy. an 1 proclaimed himself the victor. I may aid another illustration of the evils resulting from mothers' drinking Mr. B oughton, a magistrate of crest expe rience, at Worship-street Pulice, office London, in his examina tion before a parliamentary committee, made the following state ment :-" I have seen the dreadful effects when mothe.s drink. If the fathers drink it is generally in the night time, at all events, they must be at work in the day time ; but when mothers drnk it is generally in the day tame, in the absence cf their husbands ; and the children run about the streets, and if the girls are goed-looking. they become prostitntes, and the boys thieves. I will men•ion to the committee -this gentleman continued—a circumstance I shall never forget, which will show the Hay the c naloc, of mothers h 9 drink, operates. A very decent man, a mechanic, waited upon me to ask my advice as to what he should do ;he said—l have two daughters, the eldest not quite sixteen, and the other not fourteen years of age; I have two boys also; my wife drnks, and ba n pledged my ounday clothes. and my tools; in 'act, ever; article she could convey f ern the house. My tools I have had to redeem a h in dred times. Ihe children's clothes she has also pledged. The chil dren she leaves to look after themselves, consequently they run about the streets., and I tear will become as abandoned as the mother. What must I do? inquired the man with great earnestness. I gave him the best advice I could, and he went away; the day but one after he, however, came again, end addressing me on the beach, saying— " What must I do, your worship, with the youngest girl, in his hand, the mother of the child is drunk in bed, with drink, to obtain which she has pledged some more of my tools; I cannot st.y at hcme to look altar my children, i. I do th ey must starve—do inform me what I must do." There is another topic connected with drunl , enres., fearful and appalli g as it is to contemplate, yet it is too momentous to pass over unnoticed. Taking th • prostitution of Liverpool, Londcn, Bath, Hull, and Bletol, as the b ts:s of calculation, there cannot be less than '.'oo,ootl prostitu es in Great Britain, and this tremeadous army has to be recruited ; and the'startling question tor each he id of a fam ly to apply himself to is, shall my daughter, or stal any of my daughters, or which and how many shall go to recruit that amazing and appalling force. The prostitute's career is a very brief one. Every ten }ears at the very furthest, terminates the present generation. A witness before a Parliamentary committee, to enquire into the cause and extent of crime, observed that he would call the attention of the com mittee to the fact, that poor wretched girls who lye by prostitution, and are the very beat customers of gin shops, die off in about four or five years. Four or five generations of these Trifottunate victims of drunken. ess have passed away during the time I have occupied oue house in London. Those who have become so notorious as to attract attrntien, have soon become blotched and die two or three may-ba are in the wo:khous3, where, by r •gular diet and medical attention , their lives have been spared; but these monuments of their former depravity are shunned by the otherwise most c rianinal of the inuees. This witness in his evide . .ce says that pr. Kitutes are the very best customers of Gin-shots. In affirmation of that statement a brewer, at a public dinner of the licensed victuallers of London, proposed the following toast -" fur best friends, .the unfertunate females o London." Now, amid the machinations of the devats es cf drunkenness and • the ternptatiois they create, I ask what father c,in have tha confidence to assert that the fair fl teen-headed girl, on whose roseate counte nance he loves to look and trace the ima;e of himself at the cessation of each day's toil, as with a fondling arm en; irling his neck, and wi Is sparkling eye, ber yet gureless and ruby lips unfold to him the his tory of each day's play, shall not become a recruit in that army of blasched, brended, peace destroyed, moral blaated, and tope-bAghted creatures to which I have been directing atten ion What mother possesses the assurance that the little girl she new presses to her bosom, while breeding over her future s'estinies, shall not beco - ne a strumpet lurking in alleys, or walking the streets during the hours the burglar setks his plunder, or the beast of the forest his prey. Those of my readers who are parents, and still indulge in the soul destroying sin cf dram drinking, oh abst: in, for the sake of your chit den, and es; ecially for the sake of yratr claughters. To our children the affairs of the present generation must be transferred, and by them the nation must he continued —they are yet innocent, and it should be our care that they ere virtuous, we ought, therefore, to remove from them those examples that infect, end those temptations that corrupt by the adoption of total abstieence principles. Total abstinence is like a magnificent latdseape, reposing in life and beauty; all it says -is goodness, love, and benevolence; it is like the apocalypstic angel in tae sun—the only sate foothold - apart from Christ and his holy reli gion; fur the present and tee future I: is the only safe :sheler from the avenging power cf alcoholic dr nks. If, as Judge Colatidge observes, all the [criminals and prostitutes ° we their depravity to the drinking customs of that society on which they luxuriate in rime, I appeal to the common sense of the reader, to every feeling and sentiment which ennoble human nature, I ask is it not the duly of parents, chri Oats, philanthropists, patriots, and citizens of every grade and denomination. to show themselves the friecds of the oppressed as...d degrade'', chi mpions of freedom, the li berators of the slaves of drue kermess, to do all in their power to sup press drunkenness, aid by that means superess the appalling amount of evil I have feebly attempted to describe. Would to Cod that all who drink the deadly poison would adopt total abstineuze priecipha, then would they emerge like mountain crags from the mists of night and darkness, and reflect the l'ghtgof Han who watched their birth, and overrules their actions, and testifies that whatever else is present God is present. MODERATION WON'T DO. What is it? Two Iri.hmen der ribed it as fo:'ows, - : —A medical man, who:e shoo is in the northorn le:, was astonished at seeing a sta!wart Irishman enter, and very coolly hand him a bottle containing liquor, saying, " Will you take a ho't of that, if you plats's." Thi surprised doct as directed, and, han !- lug i back, rsceived the following solution of the enigma :—" Ye see, su-, that I have tak my affidavy that I would drink in moderation, and just nothink barrin wat I got from a d Aher's hal ; so you see. sat, ii gl on drink this pint a Wskey j Ist as its been in yer han, and not brake any pledge." c,f• An Iribh hbourer being b-ought before Mr. Yardley, of the Thames Police Court, London, charged with helix; from whose stomach one pint of raw rum ha 1 be ;n extracted by the doctor to save his ire, on being askei what he had 'o say in reference to the charge or being drank, repudiated the idea al:ogetlar, and deckred that he °ply took drink in moderation; that he never was in the habit of taking more than two pints at a time, aid supposed the the ale mu& have turned sour in his stomach—so that a moderator's stomach will tarn ram foto soar ale.
