THE LIVERPOOL FINANCIAL REFORM ASSOCIATION. The weekly meeting of the Council WM held on Monday; one of the Vice-Presidents in the chair. INDIAN MISGOVERNMENT AND THE LONDON PRESS. Extracts were read from the memorial to the Queen from the Christian inhabitants of Calcutta, expressing a deliberate conviction that all the calamities which have occurred "are di ectly attributable to the bli .dness, weak ness, and incapaci y of the local Government of India, cf which the Governor-General is the responsible head ; " giving a most circumstantial array of facts in support of this conviction, and petitioning for the recall of Lo: d Canning. This remarkable document appeared in the Morning Star of that day, r of in the Times, which journal, though it boasted lately of giving a hearing to everybody in its columns, denies any such privilege to the British inhabitants of India. On their former memorial it made a sneering commentary, but did not insert the memorial itself. The same course for ab2olute silence was antici pated on the present occasion, notwithstanding the mani fest absurdity of the supposition, that the exposure of Indian miTovt.rnment can be prevented, or the pestilent monopoly of the East India Company upheld, by any such MAIM THE CRISIS. There was a long discussion on th;s subject, and the measures necessary to prevent a periodical recurrence of convulsions so disastrous to commerce, manufactures, and industry. Amongst the remedies suggested were the al)). lition of the monopoly of ,the Bank of England, and the issue of a State paper currency, based on Government securities, and receivable in payment of taxes. It was eeemel highly desirable that there should be an aggregate meeting of members of the Chambers of Commerce through out the country, to discuss and agree up n some definite course of action ; and with reference to the existing want of concord on the subject, it was observed, that thirty years 'ago there were precisely the same sort of disagreements on the question of fees trade in corn, many of the most thorough-going Free-traders of the present day being ad vocates of a comparatively high fixed duty at the time when Mr. Cobden and the Anti-Corn-Law League boldly p - oposed total abolkion. The absurdity c f paying large sums annually to the Bank of England for the lean of Bank paper, in exchange for Exchequer Bills, was specially commented upon. GOVERNMENT BOOK KEEPING L'PNARDS OF FIVE MILLIONS ASTRAY. A series of communit ations from Mr. Henry Lloyd Morgan of London, contrasting the statement of expendi ture on the Army, N avy, and Ordnance, for the year ended March 31, 1856, contained in the Ile`urn, No. 300, Session 2nd, 1857, with those g ven in the calial finance accounts for the same year; and also in the Return, No. 382, fur nished on the motion of Mr. W. Williams, were laid before the Council. The fist-named document has only just been issued, so that it has taken up gia.ds of eighieen months to concoct a statement, which, if the accounts were properly kept, might have been made up in two. But tke results of the comparison are the most extraordinary part of the affair, as tending to show that theee accounts are pure fictions, or, at all events, that not the slightest reliance is to be placed upon them. This will appear from the following analysis. Both the finance accounts, and Mr. Williams's return, g:ve the expenditure for the year ended March 31, 1856, thus : s. d.

Mr. Morgan also furnished detailed tables extras ed from , he return No. 300, in sub stantiation of the foregoing summary ; and, speculating on the way in which this great:variance is to be accounted for, said—" No do Ibt an explanation will be ready cut and dried—the magnitude of the servicee—the in ricacy of the accounts ! !—the diffical y of getting vouchers ! ! cue., &c. But under a proper system no discrepancy could exist. If every acceuet were ruled off on a day specified, whether at the end of each month, of each quarter, or of each year, the statistics would all correspond ; and until this is done throughout the kingdom on the same day, we shell be subject to these suspicious discrepancies. There can be no sufficient reeson "why the recommendation of the tetect committee, that the accounts should be ruled off monthly, should not be acted on forthwith. The great point is to insist on these periodical balances of recetp: and expendi ture. Whatever is pad or received on the Ist of January should not be included in the acceuets of the 31st of December of the precedir g year. When once this reform is forced upon the Government, all other improvements will follow as a matter of course; but until then we shill have nothing but confusion. The present system warrants the very gravest suspicions of fraud and embezzlement, so frequen•ly hinted at by all parties who examine Govern ment accounts. At present it is impossible to ascertain whether i; is confined to thousands, as shown in the Duchy of Lancaster report, or whether it extends to millions." With respect to the discrepancy of upwards of five midions, Mr. Morgan observed that the authorities seemed to ima gine that nobody would compare me statement with another, and that he was quite at a loss to know where the money came from, supposing it to have bean really expended on army, navy, and ordnance, unless it were from some juggling with Exchequer bil!s, the accounts respecting which are made out in such a manner as to defy any effective check." Ile expressed his conviction that a rigid scrutiny into the sale of stores, peculation of various kinds. embezzlement, and mismanagement ( f the Crown lauds, which show an annual loss of ten millions, and tegel the necessity of immediate parliamentary inquiry respecting the aforesaid discrepancy of five mil lions, and said that, with a propersys!em of book keeping, " there would be no difficulty in render ing the accounts wi hin two or three months afer the close of the financial year; but the idea cf keeping them back until all remembrance of the circumetaticas under wYch payments wc.re me :(3 has completely died out must prevent any efficient audit. To keep back any accounts for upwards of eighteen months would be ludicrous if the consequences were not so motions " A. vote of thanks to Mr. Mo gan for his contuunc7.- tions, and fir the valuable assistance which he ha: rendered to the Council on various occasions, was proposed and carried unanimously. R: - .PR.EdINTATION BASED ON REVENUE. A letter was read from H Clinton,a Royston, Herts., calling the attention of the Cou oil to his pamphlet, entitled, " H )w to do without Customs and E (cise, by basing the parliamentary representation of all classes and interests, home and colonial, on contributions from all parts of the empire;" and volunteerirga further exposi tion of his viewQ, ether at a personal inte, view or otherwise. The proposition of Colonel Clinton is to give parliamentary representation to the British Islands and to the Colonies, including India, on the following p:an : —Every person contributing a certain sum, to be annually tined by parliament, say, £50,000, to the imperial treasury, to be a member of the House of Commons for twelve months ; or any number of persons contributing the same sum collect vely, to be entitled to appoint a member for the same pert d ; two members for double the sum, and so on, somewhat on the principle ofJo.nt Stock Coml anies— so many shares, so many . votes. It was deemed highly desirable that the Colonies should be lepresented in par liament by their ablest men, who would thus be in a condition to prevent the blunders constantly occurring in imperial leg elation regarding the colonies ; but a scheme for sup.reeding compulsory taxation by voluntary contri butions for the privilege of member hip or representation was decided to be wholly chimerical ; and even if it we re practicable, liable to the gravest possible objections. In the first place, it p 'weeds on the manifestly erroneous supposition thst the life. liberty, and means, of living of the poor men are not as vAluable to him as those of the mill , onaire ; in the second, its obvious result would be to throw nearly all the whole representative influence of the empire into the hands m4neyocracy, already far too powerful for the general welfare ; since that and other classes only find their account in buying seats, whilst the great bulk of the community, j udg ing from the apathy generally exhibited with regArd to the possession and exercise of the electorial privilege, would willingly lose it, prurided the lose brought with it exempion from the con tributions to the revenue. The secretary was directed to thank Colonel Clinton for his communication, and to inform him that the Council deemed his plan almost impracticable, and respectfully declined the proposed interview. TILE ASSOCIATION AND TIIE PRESS An able editorial article, from the Morning Sear of Wednesday, November 4, ex pl ana t ory of the ob j ec t s of the association, approving of them, and encouraging it to perseverance, was read Th e f o ll ow i ng are extracts : •-The Liverpool Financial Reform Association act wisely in keeping the question of the National Taxes before the public. Their representations meet with little attention just now, when the public mind is excited with daily tales of blood, and dezzled w i t h t h e b r il . i ant glare of victory ; but, in the nature of things. these feelings are only tem porary. Another tale will be heard when the bill is presented, and the p u bli c l earn at that cost those luxuries have been procured. The poeple must take the matter into their own hands, if they want a reform of the immemorial practice; and we rejoice to find that the Liverpool Association has taken the first step in his reform, and has engaged to keep the popular attention ite Wily direc.ed to the one point of the national expendi ture, and the best means of providing for it. We fear they must often din their doctrines into unwilling ears ; but they appear to be made of the right stuff for reformers —men who will proclaim their doctrines whether the people hear or whether they forbear ; and we cannot doubt that a persistence so eredi able to themselves must, in the end, carry its point * * * The great object of the association is the substitution of direct for in iirect taxation." [The editor comments on the costliness of the present system, observing that, under it, the people pay much more than they would have to pay under a better.] "Weknow well enough that, in the present state of ignorance on financial questions, it would be a hopeless task to ' induce the population to pay, in the form of direct taxation, even the half of what they now thoughtlessly pay in indirec burdens. But we know, too, that this ignorance will not last for ever; we believe that clearer ideas are becoming generally diffused on these matters; and we cannot doubt that when the question is seen in its true light, the people will prefer to pay their nation rent as they do their house rent ; that is to say, in one sum, and with a full perception of wile,. it is they are paying how far it is suited to the exigencies of their case, and what is the velue they get for their money. If the system were once comprehended, we should then have no fear of seeing the objects of the Liverpool Financial Reform Association realised in the abolition of the customs and excise depart ments, with all their costly establishments, and the institution a an equitable system cf direct taxation, with a perfect freedom of internal and external trade. We need not say, however, that much must be done, many vigorous efforts made, many obstinate prejudices rooted out, and much useful truth diffused, before we can h o p e t o arrive at this consummation.' The thenks of the Council were voted to the Morning Star for this notice of their labour, as also to the conductors of the Liverpool Mercury, the Daily Post, the NORIIIERN DAILY TIME 3, and Belfast Mercantile Journal, for the insertion of i:s reports, and similar assistance. EXITAORDINA.RY CHARGE OF ORUELTY. At the Court of Q te n'e Bench, on Thursday, Mr. Power apphid for permis i n for Mrs. Kempo to exhibit urticles o f the peace against her husband for cruel y. From the articles exhiloi;ed it appeared that the applicant had been mar, i d ebout ni: e years :o William Kemp-, ito monger, of Woodbridge, Suffolk. For upwards of two yens. last passed, he had trea'ed ber with streat cruelty, frequently threatening to lay violent hands on her and hake oway her life. In July and August last, and on several ether occesic ns when in bed she had been awake by fco l'ng3 of sofft.crtfon. Oa one occasion she vas awoke by findirg her husband's hand covering her mouth, and with lis other p easing her none to stop her breath. In 1855, while in bed, er husband attempted to strangle heel by violets ly pulling the strings of her nightcap, an] he Ihreaeered ti otherwise smother and injure her. On the nigh' of the 25111 of October last she went to bed with her husband, and in the emu, if the night she was awoke from her sleep by finding her husband violently grespin; her aim with one hand and the other on top of her head, forcing her head on her chest so as to stop her breath. She struggled to get away from him and took refuge with the servant for the remainder of the night, where she remained watching, being in fear of her life. When she complained to him in the morning, he threatened gets:we her. On the 29th October, after commu lotting with her frienth, she applied to a magistrate, at Wood bridge for protection, who advisil her to leave her husband and go to her paren's, who resided at Hoilelgh, about seven teen nib s ftom Woodbridge. On h's promising not to hurt her she returned to his house, and on her doing so, he seized her violently by the arm, and bending her finger back so as to • give her great pain, he tore her wedding ring from her finger, ar d refused to return i'. The same night he sent • the only domestic servant in the house away, and she was 1-ft alone with him for the night. He, however, went out, and returned about two o'clock in the morning, and ie the meantime she went and. lay down in an adjoining rr otn. Whilst there after tier husband's return, being afraid to sleep, she overheard him talking to himself, as be was in the habit of doing, siying he would take her gold watch from her and then murder her. Beirg afraid of her life, she sat up all night, and on the (alto ving day she went again to her friends, who agreed to support her if he would allow her £lO a-year, but he refused to give more than 23. 63 per week, and the cons,quence was that are was obltol to return to her husband. On the Ist November last, she again applied to the magistrate for protection by having her husband bound over to keep the pe ce, but he refus d to comply with her request, telling her aa - she must leave her husband and return to her perents. She coneleded by stating that she believed the magietrate had be, n improperly inflaeoced to refuse her applica'ion; and being in bodily fear of her life she applied to the court for protection. Lord Campbell : It was to be regretted the magistrate did not grant the ap plicant the protection she asked, which would probably have rendered it unneccs ary for he; to apply to this C urt. We think her entitled to the protection asked. We do not think the magistrate acted from improper mo tives, hut he had certainly act d wrong on the statement mede in refeslng the application. Mr. Browne : I have to ask for the issue of an attachment. Lord Campbell : Certainly, The attachment wis then ,ordered to be issued. THE N ORTIIERN TIMES.-LIVERPOOLI MONDAY, NOVEMBER 23 1587 know, and it will be the greatest favour you can do to me to put end to my sufferings. In a few hours this victim of intoxicating drink d'ed raving mad "—the fate of thousands upon thousands of drunkards annually. Andrew O'Brien, the publican now incarcerated in Kirk dee gaol, charged with the wilful murier of his mother-in-law, is a sad and painful illustration of the terrible effects of drunkenness. Dethrone reason by Alcoholic drinks, and arouse the animal passions now unrestrained by the judgment, and man is fit for anything. No vice, no crime, of which he may not then be guilty, may have escaped him when he awakes from his drunkenness, as poor O'Brien has now done. Parents, Christians, philanthropists, patriots, and citizens—is not the drunkard's death appalling—will you taste another drop—will you again touch the health-destroying, reason dethroning, moral-blasting, and soul-ruining drink? Abandon it; oh, abandon it, for the sake of your immortal, your never-dying soul. Total abstinence is the only safe shelter from the avenging power of strong drink. The following singular note or warning, purporting to be a trans lation from the Sanscrit, of a letter from Asiatic cholera, to his cousin, Germa'n, English cholera, is h ghly illustrative ofmy subject, I there merit)! it. " Borders of the Red Sea, August 12, 1857. "Dear Cousin,—As I intend, after a little more feasting with the Aralians, to start again on the grand tour is Europe, and very soon to visit my relations, and all old friends in Britain, I have, therefore, thought it best to anticipate rumour, and transmit before hand en authentic sketch of my history and habits, to remind them of my tastes, so that they might put themselves to no unnecessary trouble in preparing for my reception; I know their fame for hospitality at their festive boards ; I have a deadly recollection of my former visit to Britain, and, therefore, I beg to assure them that nothing will please me better botterrn and nourishedthentakinetbem justin India , a g as lof undt o h r e g m enn on : Imanyd and clime,formervisit I was amidst the dissipation of European conquerors, and the degradat3on of its sable and superstitious castes. My father, who is a member .rf the great lelorbus family, named me Cholera, by way of signifying my sympathy with the choleric and discontented portion of mankind. I have an invincible attachment to whatever my parents hare a hand in concocting, and can, from the bottom of my heart, freely and liberally fraternise with the immoral, and promoters of iniquity, wi.h .ut distinction of colour, country, or clime. I am, however, very particular about character, unless it be in some way connected with the morbific kind ; I must decline the interchange of social courtesies, The disciples of some modern crotchets I particularly dislike; the members of nature's aliment society, or fresh air and water fanatics the health of towns commissions; and especially the abominable sect ca'led teetotallers, or cold water men, I absolutely detest, and peel tively will pass by without embracing. Indeed, I mast observe, as a general ride, that, if a man be industrious, sober, and temperate, I will not have to do with that class of men, all such characters I regard as loathesome and pestilential. If a man rise early, open wide his ' eves and windows, often wash himself from top to toe, whitewash his house, frequently take his meal at home instead of the beer-horse, and endeavour to make his wife and children happy_,such a one I cannot endure; I would prefer that thet man should live in health and die in good old age, as men foceishly call long We, rather than have to do with him. Indeed, i will pass by his hearth with its cheerful stupidness to revel alternately amid the glare and excitement of the gia palace, the squalor end the corruptions of the drunkard's home; to sit by the filthy and faded forms of drunkard's in cla-k hove s ; to range the precincts of the prison, the poe.-house, or the asylum, surrounded by atone walla and iron gratings, whence the li . tht of Heaven and tile Gospel e-sl'dem enter to feast with the felon, or enj y whoredom, tie roam with the criminal, the pauper, and lunatic—yes, the whoremonger, the profligate, the glutton, the drunkard, the lazy and discontented, and the filthy of every class, may rest assured I shall not pass by them ; in one word I shall make my abode with them and feast Inscrialtly. le never fail to shake hands with those whose constitutions have been enfeebled by drunkenness and debauchery, or undermined ley Alcohol, the- favourite poison of England ; my love for these remain quite unabated; depend upon it I will not pals their habitations. I may also add that I prefer staying on my visits in blind courts, (hely and filthy cellars, in chamb rs where anything can be substituted for that monstrous thing e glass, which flies at the very smell of Alcohol. I love to be in the pureeus of public-houses, redolent of gin and blue-ruin, and the effluvia of beer and brandy. In conc'usion, I way add that I anticipate a rich treat with your sooty-faced. artizans, of whose hospitality I partook so largely during my last visit ; binels my fevourite;colour, some may cell it ghastly, I call it beautiful, therefore I seldom omit visiting the abode of sooty-faced friends. Teere is another peculiarity I admire inehe artizans of England, and which renders them particularly objects of attraction , mud admiration ; their stomachs- are stuffed one half of the week and starved the other, rendering it delightful t) drink and revel witlethem, and thus -I can easily conclude the car nival with the dance of death.—Adieu, dear consin, yours aff,c tienately, "Aszasric CueemeA." After furnishing the preceding details, I shall not enter into a pathological representation of the deadly evils intoxicating drinks inflict on tile humanerstomach, but confine myself to the illustrations of the pathology of drunkenness or the physical effects of intoxicating drinks, at set for h on , the testimony of medical gentlemen and pro fessors, who have made it their stilly, and whose testimony has been sanctioned by Pordamentary Committees and never related. Dr. Beardmont said—" That ardent spirits, if indulged in freely, proince, in a few days, morbid changes, and, therefore, the. wisest and best course is not to take these at all." Dr. Gordon said, before a Parliamentary CommitMe,,on drnak en nese and crime—" When I was. studying at Edinbareh, I hod occasion to open a great many bodies- who had died of different disc:sea and in most Cases I found. the liver more or less• affected, and on enquiry I found that, althengl some of them- were moral and religious people, they were in the habit of drinking ardent spirits in small quantities, perhaps one or two glasses daily, and. to this fact I attributel their disease." Dr. Armstrong, before the same Parliamentary CDmmittee, said— " A few years ago I saw a person, while engaged in public debate, drop instantly dead froman affection of the heart, being at the time highly stimulated by ininxicatlng drink, which the habitual custom of taking drink had brought on. I have examined the lungs of drunkards and bave frequently found them adhering to the wails of the chest and, affected with tubercles." Dr. Dodd deposed to the same committee--" I remember some years back seeing a man carrying a bundle of hay on his head drop down dead, a few yards from me. On a ins"- mortew examination I found the nun rotten all over, resulting from d:unkennes. This gentleman. observed further to the committee, that the progeny of intemperate parents are less healthy in all their fun, tions then the offspring of temperate parents; that at birth the infant has not merely the want of healthy aspect of plump round outline l:nt a shrivelle 1 , starved, and imperfect look, and, moreover, that parents suffering under th, disease of the liver or any other organ, from the use of intoxicating liquors, give rise to children whose constitutions possess strong tende❑ties to similar morbid actions in the off pring, even to t-e third and fourth gmeration--thus oaks aro rotten in the aecorn And why should we be astonished at that, when we contemplate the composition of Alcoholic drinks given as follows, by an eminent gentleman of ungnestioasble voracity.

NOTTINGHAM, Friday, 5 p.m —The town remains per fectly tranquil. The meyor and magistrates have succeeded in preventing a meeting of operatives. Many came in from the country districts, bat quietly dispersed. It was generally believed that, upon the meeting being prevented in the Market-place, the men would assemble in Notting ham Forest, and evory precautionary measure was taken to disperse any crowd that might come together. In the country districts the county police were prepared to act at a moment's notice. Temporary relief has been afforded to a great lnany families.

BREAKING UP CFA CHURCH SCHOOL —A Linettan VICAR —At Walton-)r-Thames, after a contest of two years' duratien between the committee of the national schools and their chairman, the vicar of the parish, the committee have resolved on breaking up the schools forthwith. The committee allege that they have been driven to this course tliron,gh the persistence of the vicar in ident;fying 'niutself with a party e gaged in raising a school in the parish, to be eon incte.l on aetischurch principles, and refusing his official aid as rep arils the (leelining funds of the national schools. The poin's of difference are thefe :—The coin mtttee, backed by the m .jority of the inhabitants, sj, ‘• We are quite willing to open our doors to all who a'e not of the church, and meet them in every way as regards religious matters; bet, at the same time we will retain our ' necessary rules as far as applies to the religions training of our church children. In asking more than this, the di setters show a spit it of intolerance to - wards the church, which we feel in du y bound to resist." The vicar and party, by their proposed rules, insist that the dissenters shall take part management in the school ; that the vicar shall be no longer ex officio a member of committee, but merely eligible for election ; that all church children shall, if they please, attend the meeting house on Sundays, instead of church, as at present; that all, with a mere nominal exception, shall, if they please, object to church catechism ; that the school shall be conducted on the principle of " no interferoace with the religious opinions of the parents."

[Continued from 2:222d October.] CHAPTER VI. EVILS OF DRUNKENNESS ON lIERLTI. At the commencement of the nineteenth century, tie unitary condition of the civic aed rural population of Great 2 ritain, was altogether unthouzht of. The dangerous filthiness of cities and towns, arising from most obvious causes, was unnoticed, unaired for, and even unnamed. Foal a'r, want of water, intramural and entramural burying, aga net which no solve was raised, no inquiry instituted, no energetic movement established. Men sme't the aT of the fwtld gutter, or thrust the deal under the pews of th 3 House o f God, as if it had been so from the day man passed out of Eden. That the poor should squat in dirty hovels, or be cribbed in the stenchy apartments of a blind alley, or live unwashed, unaired, unkennelled, seemed as natural as to be born. That these avenging forces were engenderiag moral and physical disease was not, it is evident, clearly seen or earnestly calculated; at all events there seemed no effort put forth to remove those evils, whatever their social degradation. The spirit of the present age is not, however, the spirit of the commence ment of the 19:11 century. Fifty years in their gradual unwinding from the axletree of time have served to advance tendencies and effective agendas, whose power has already told in tke amelioration of society; but who can contemplate the wide spread dominion of the European idol-Alcoholic drinks-without having awakened within them feelings of deep solici•ude and longing for a more elevated condition still of social life, especially when we reflect upon the fearful amount of disease and death prolueed by drunkenness. Sanitary reform, edu cation, and total abstineece principles cannot long remain disassociated —temperance reformers are unquestioaably the best promoters of the health, peace, hap2inees. and prosperity of the country. With these preliminary observations I will tiler a few remarks on the construction of the animal frame of man, and then proc led to the demonstration that intoxicating drink is injurious to health. The animal frame of man is, in the strictest sense of the word, a machine, as much as even the watch to which it bears setae analogy. For examp'e, the watch is intended to point out the hours, minutes, and seconds of time, and for that purpose a number of wheels, a chain and a spring, with other delicatecantrivances, are put together, which, being set in motion, proc red with vronde.fal accuracy to note the ever varying hour of the day. In like manner the animal machine has its appropriate services for which numerous organs have been so designed as to work with th umaest precision. Man, for instance, to accomplish his week, it has b•en ascertained is provided with 4;6 muscles, which move 243 bones, working in more than 200 joints, each Mat being proporionate, and every one working upon a smooth durable service, and ma le still more Pasting by being lobri cated with serum, just as oil is poured into the joints of the watch. There is th s remarkable difference, however, between the animate and inanimate meet:aces—the human body and the watch ; the latter, from the first tick it emits on the commencing of its watch of time, proceeds to wear itself away, or, at least, all those portions of itself upon which its movements most materially depend. Such, however, does not appear to be the cans with the animal machine for though at the first moment of its existence, des the heat gives its starting stroke, it com nences a sistem of wear and tear which is not confined, as with the watch, to one or two main parts, but extends to every organ of the body, yet byso doing it does-not wear itself away like the watch so as to arrest its motions. If a- watch be weighed when manufactured, and again after being ia u e number of years, its weight will be found to have diminished in consequence of the abrasion of its machinery; but take an. adult man and weigh him at the commencement and end of five or six years, and if he have been under precisely the same cireamstimces during the rims he w1;1 be found to weigh the same weight. Now, this difftsrence in the two machines is the result of the animal possessing the functions of r-pro daction as well as destruction, while the watch possesses the latter only. ,During the whole life of man his physical constitution is subject to one continued change. He is not for one moment of his existence composed of the sans aboms entirely, and iii three so re years and ten, it is calculated, he changes his whole system ten times, that is once in every ssvea years. Every organ, every atom of the anima system participates in the scions of the body, and is, consegaently, steijact to wear and. tsar, and hence the necessity for reproduction, for were there none the body most be reduced , to a skeleton in a very short pario !, j ant as a garment through continual wear is male thin an I threadb ire, there being no moans of supp.ying the par Lions of fibre worn cff. To replace this waste in the animal economy,. food aid diluents have been provided, and a complex systa a) of organs and functions contrived to prepare and bring the food to the state required for entering into the composition of the human body. It will be my business to demonstrate, which I, will do by the production of indubitible evidence that Alcoholic drin ',a frustrate the working of this complex syatsm and thereby produce disease an death. In thefir.st place, I will cite the evidence of the Heal Constable or Liverpool, which establishea the painful fact that drunkenness is on the increase, as wall as prove to a demonstration that intoxicating drink is injurious to health. " nacre has b'en a m irked increaas in the apprehensions for drank euness ; in 1855 the number being Z,14l more. than dar.n; the year 1851. In many of those cases the persons charged have been in a dangerous state, and but for the prompt and valuable aid rendered by the surgeons of the various dispousaries the mast appalling results. must have ensued." I will adduce the testimony of some of the most eminent medical gentlemen in the kingdoos, illustrative of Vas faci that intosicathog drinks are poisonous, and consequently dsstructife of life. Dr. George Cheyne, in his Essay oa Health and Long Life, most strongly deaoances the use of Alcoholic drinks, which he desig tiat,s bowitch'ng poison ; and, further, says this eminent medic Al gentleman, that neither arsenic norlaad.snum will kill more certainly although more quickly. The lrarned Doctr Darwin, F.R.S., imlades wines. boar, spirits, and cider, because they contain Alcohol, in his list of poisons. Dr. Gorden, Pays Lian to tho London ilosplsl, deposed to a Parlia mentary Committee, that it would be cliff:tilt to find a more destruc tive poison than ardent spirits. Dr. John Cheyne, Physician-Ganeral, Ireland, said to the same Committee that ardent spirits are very destructive to healt`a, and may be deemed slow but sure poison. Dr. Green also deposed to the same co n•nitt32, that Alcohol may b 3 renerded in all its forms as a m )st virulent poison. Dr. Farre also deposed to the same commilea, that Ale ;11)1 wee in the strictest sense a poison. Sir Astley Cooper, whoa exaufned by the same Parliamentary Committee, observed —" I never suUer ardent so rite in my house, because I regard them as ev.l spirits, and if the poor could witaeiS the white lives, the dropsies, the shattered nervous systems, which I have seen, as the consequence of drinking tho2e p , sisons, they would be aware that spirits and p oisons are synonimons terms. " Dr. W. Hartley, Phys'cian to the Prisons, Dublin, observed to the same committee—B sing thoroughly convinced by lo :g experience and extensive observations among the middle classes, that th sre does not eziat a more productive source of disease than the habitual use of intoxicating drinks, I cannot, therefore, hesitate to recommend the entire disuse of such poison. Dr. Beddows said it is not uncommon for individuals many hours, or oven a day, a ter a debauch, to reject the whole or part of a dinner undigested. Dr. Cheyae slid, the hart and dsasne which all fermented liquors do to an ants Li body is evident fro:n m any considerations, ai that they burden, co.:s riot, and bind up the fibre and strongly unite the per•:icle4 of animal subs'ances, se that they are with much greater difficulty sep:zated cad divided, the digestibility of fold obstructed, so that beef on tlre stomach (that is whoa drunkards can get it) will become almost like shce-leather. Dr. Mc Nish says—" I hwe freqnently examined the holies stet death, of those who hard fallen victims of drunkenness while In a state of de'Lium tremens, and I have found net only th syna,:tonas att the eXectlon, bat the morbid appearance to bu nu form, and my observations fully confirm the opinion entertained by most modern practitioners and physiologi .ts, that the disease has its seat originally in the stomach, and that atnction of the brain is purely sympathetic and secondary." I will detail a circumstance illustrative of the terrible effects drink had upon a mechanic, narrated to ma by the medical gentleman who attended the unhappy man. " Upon receiving new, that a legacy of +BlOO had come to him, h 3 immediately flung down his nols decl er log that he wou!d have a spro', which of course meant drinking to excess. From that moment he did not do one single day's wok, but continued dri: king until I was sent for. Upon examining my patient I found him in a dreadful state, he having comuelled his afflicted wife to bring him spirits to bed, using the most awful Imprecations. I Uk. d to him of the great danger he was in of death, with all the earnestness I could, knowing that he could not survive msny hours. I went for a minister of the Gospel; he, however, took n s no:1-.:e of im, but continued ciamonrous for drink. When the minister had gone he called me to his bedside (we were alone) and said, doctor, you have been v. ry kind to me, you have always given ma good advice—for time and eternity, for body and soul, and now I want yea to grant me one fAvour. I promi!cd I would, if I could, with pro priety. He wanted me to promise him, unreservedly, but that I refused ; well, then, sa d he, I know there is no hope for me, I mast die, and it cannot matter much to you whether I die, sooner or later. You have talked to me, my dear doctor, of the glories of Heaven and the pains of Hell, but not for Heaven itself would I go throu.,ll the horrors of such a night as I passed last night; Hell Itself cannel be worse than what I suff_red. [These are the common suffer ings of the drunkard when labouring under that dreadful malady of drunkenness the delirium tremens'. Now, if you know anything that will kill me at once I entreat you to give it to me; no one will ever POLICE INTELLIGENCE-SATURDAY. 'ERPOOL. FFORE MR. MANSFIELD. ASSAULTING THE POLICE.—On the night of the 11th inst., in Byrom -street police officers 374 and 534 were violently assaulted by three men, one of whom got away, another is at present in jail on the charge, and the third is in the hospital, having broken his leg in a fall in the affray. The missing man was brought up on Saturday morning. He gave hia name as John Flynn, and soil he was clerk to a fishmonger in St. John's Market. Mr. Black defended him. The tilicers proved the case, the details of which were the same as appeared a few days ago in our paper. Mr. Bluck said he c )uld prove that the prisoner was in bed at twelve o'clock ou the night in question, and could not have been at the place where the assault took place. His Worship said the case was too serious for his disposal, and he would send it for trial, and let a jury decide the evidence. The prisoner was sent for trial, but he would be admitted to proper bail. " Tint Way THE MONLY GOES."—In a case where a man named Johnston was brought up en a warrant for not supporting his illegitimate child, in reply to a question by the bench, Mr. Cozens, the w rrant officer of the court said, this man was summoned to appear here on Wednes day, and he employed an attorney Mr. Parker, to defend him, and gave him (Hr. Parker) half-a-erown, and the advice he gave him was to disoby the order for the summons and not to appear, and he did not appear, so that he had to be brought up on a warrant. His Warship directed Mr. Parker to be sent for, and in a few moments he appeared, when his Worship as'ied him " Well, Mr. Parker, what have you to say to this case ?" Mr. Parker —when this case came on before—(lie then stopped short, and asked the complainant, who was in the box, will you take half the money now, and the remainder in a fort night ? The complainant said "he (the prisoner) has not offered me anythirg yet. The prisoner (to Mr. Parker) you took half-a-crown from me, and is that the sort of advice you give me now ? The matter was then arranged between the parties. Gross OITTRAGN.—fIugh Smith, a porter in the estab lishment of Messrs. Sillitoe and Glover, grccers, Lime street, was brought up on remand, by detective efficer Horn, en a charge of having committed an outrogo of a diabolical description, on a respectable married woman, named Elizabeth Naill, the wife of a baker living ire Pellew-street. Mr. Black was for the prisoner. It was proved by several witnesses that on the evening of the .9 - th inst., the eomplainant, with another female,. was standing on the gird at the shop window of the house named, and that whilst there, the outragecomplained of was committed. A surgeon proved the exeent of the injury inflicted on the woman, who seemed very weak, and had been in the is hospital ever educe the affair. Tee prisoner was sent for trial, but on the application of Mr. Block he was admitted to bail in two sureties of £2-0 each. MOLEST Aseaver.—William Clacton was charged with heaving committed a desp rate assault on a labourer, Michael Malley. Mr. Csbb was r the prisoner. It appeared that, on the 10:h fast.,. the complainant was engaged breaking stones in a field in the Park, and a man left an instrument calleA a " pick " iu his keeping ; the prisoner came into the laid with a plank of wood on his shoulder, and took up the " pick"' in order to split the wood, when the complainant told him to desist, as he had no right to the pick. The prisonesernehed at witness, where he was on a "ruck" of stones breaking them, and the latter pushed him down,whea the prisoner snapped up a stone hammer with a handle nearly six feet long, and gave the complainant a blow ou the head which nearly finished him. In reply to Mr. Cobb,. the prosecutor said he did not know but the prisoner had a right to be in the field, but he did know that he had no right to _nearly knock his brains out, for when he got the blow he did not remember any thing for a long time after. Surgeon Pope, of the Southern Hospital,.deposed to the it jury iirtlicted on the man, which was considerable, and dangerous. Mr. Cobb urged in defence that the prisoner snatched up the stick e in the heat of the moment, notthinking there was a hammer on the other end end of it, and unfortunately it was that end that lit on the man's head, although the prisoner had no notion of doing the man any injury. His Worship sail if the prisoner cotel d make ajory believe that story, it might have some weight, but he did not credit it. He sant the prisoner for trial, TR.'S HARDEST or Two EARTHS.--Mary Anne Pritchard, an athletic young woman, was charged with having split open the head of another fem de, named Winefred Burns. It appeared that the parties reside in Greethaamstreet, aed although the complainant said there was no cause of quarrel between therm yet soma cause was shown to exist, and in consequence, the prisoner, feeling insulted, took an earthenware dish and struck the complainant a desperate blow,, that not only broke the dish in pieces, but acted in like manner to the head of the unfortunate woman. Surgeon Pope, of the Southern Hospital, proved that the in cry was very serious, and what made it worse was that the complainant was near her confinement. The prisoner was nemandec until the result on the injured woman could be determined. .L Veiny BAD- "Aerteze."—A_ tall, wicked-looking Prussian, who answered to the Anglacised name of Robert Angel, was brought up by Detective-officer Patrick, who said :he prisoner was given into custody for having swin dled a German, named Lenker Sterfor, a native of Meek lenburgh, out of over £B. Mr. J. Hartman, the secretary of the Society of Friends of Foreigners in Distress, acted 53 interpreter. The parties did not speak English. The story, as collected from the statement made by the prosecu tor, was that he lived in Hull, and had a comfortatde house there. The prisoner, unluckily, became acquainted wile him there,, and represented that he was a very wealthy man, and that he had several thousand dollars lodged with the Prussian Consul at Liverpool; that he was going out to America, and, as he had taken a liking to the complain ant, he would take him out to America, and pay his and hia wife's passage, and make a man of him. The unfortunate dupe believed the prisoner,. and sold his house, for the furniture of which he got £5 , 0. The parties then came to Liverpool, where the visits of Mr. An eel to his victim were like anything but "angel's visits," and on each of these interesting occasions, he borrowed money, amounting to £3 altogether. The story about the dollars and the Prussian Consul was, of course, a "corker," The prisoner was remanded in order to have some one from the office of the Prussian Consul present; and, when he heard this, he got into a savage rage, roared like a lion, then cried like a crocodile, slapped his breast with hit fist hand, ihe sound of which resembled the clischerge of a pieta', and then ma le several gestures with outstretched arm aed clenched hand, then pointed up to Heaven, and finally made an effort to jump out of the dock at the prosecutor, whom he would have " pounded," lead he caus;ht. him ; but he was seized by two officers who fouled quite enough to do to remove him. A pea Sen, named John Tomilsora a waiter, in the employ of Mr. Fernihough, publican, Juihe-street, was se at to gaol for three months, for stealing some uneasy from his master. THE INDIAN MAILS.

STRANGE CHARGE AGAINST A CLERGYMAN.—A pastor of the Free Caurch has beea complained against to the Free Presbytery of Dunke'd, inter aim, that on visiting a sick womm he had c.invesed with a man pre,ent about the taking of Seba!topol. People of any candour might c ndemn and denounce such frivolous and vexatious pleas, which refl.ct disgroce on those who adduce them. Had it been alleged that the maa who came to pray had neglected his function in order to t&ltc about politics, there would have been justice in a complaint of tae sort ; but even the sick roam and the duty of a minister of the Gospel did not preclude allusion to one of the most momentous questions of the day, involving great and seriuus interests. We could wish to be able to say that the clerical character was soiled by no larger stain. We do not enter into the other charges against the unpopular clergyman, but, if of any impartaßcp, the promoters have taken means to damage their cause—as oppressim naturally calls forth sympathy, and may cast his faults into the shade.—North Briton.
