BURIAL BOARD. The monthly meeting of the Liverpool lnrial Board -was held at half past ten o'clo:k, 3 esterday, in the Board Boom, Workhouse. Mr. Robertson Gladstone presided, an d the oilier members present ware, the Rev. Rector Campbell, Messrs. Wpodrnff, Jackson, Sdtt, Corbaily, Thornley, and Bsirstow. _ _ Mr. BTITT said, the first duty of, the Board, after re election, teemed to be the appointment of a chairman and deputy-chairman. The business of the pa.tty year might be considered as merely preliminary, but , that of the coming year would be of an important character It was expellent that the chairman and deputv.chairman of the Board should be men c mversant with the transactions which had' Wien place dazing the opening year of the Board's existence. The late chairman and deputy-chairman of the Board, Mr. R berteon Gladstone, and Mr. J. R. Jeffery, deserved the warmest thanks cf the members, and of the public, for the manner in which they had discharged the duties of their offices, and he therefore moved that these gentlemen be re-elected. The motion was unanimously adopted. The Cnaismart expressed his acknowledgment for the hcnour which had been conferred upon him and the Vice-chairman, both on his own behalf and that of Mr..J. R. Jeffery, who was then in London. There was at present some infuEion of Lew blood into the Board, and be should have been very happy to resign his place if the Board had thtught fit to elect any one else, but, at the same time, he admitted that there was some fcrce in what had been said by Me. Stitt, as to the importance of elect- ing men to the offices of chairman and vice-chairman, who were acglainted with the business which .had been transac ed during the fi lit year of the Baard's existence. Be had himself considerable knowledge of the township of West Derby, ind he thought the chain would probably be better preserved by his clatinuing to hold, at least for some period, the office in which The Board were good enough to place him last 3 ear He felt that his duties had not been performed so ably as Mr. Scitt hid stated, but he felt at the came time much indebted to that gen tleman, who was always courteous, for the good opinion he had ben kind enough to express. The flllowing gentlemen were then named to constitute the Land's Committee :—The Chairman, the Vice-Chair man, the Rectar, Army% Corbslly, Stitt, and Jackson. II 'The CLERK, Mr Harvey, stated, in reply to Mr. J,ekson, that Mr. Weightman had informed the committee that the Corporation would be willing to treat for a portion of the itTewsham House estate, for the purposes of a cemetery. Mr JACKSON moved that application be made for per mission to enter upon the land, and make the nece.ssry examinations. Mr. WOODRUFF seconded the motion, which was agreed to. It was also agreed that applicati'n be in de to the Town Council to ascertain their intenti mg in regard to the general drainage of the Newsham House estate, and to request permission for Mr Newlands to attend the Burial Blard, in reference to that subject. . _ The CLERK said he had received a communication from Mr. Hart, calling attention to the state of St. Peter's and St. Nicholas's churchyards, with a view to such repair= as might be found useful and necessary. r. WOODRUFF said, that commu:Acation came from the rector and churchwardens. Its ol , j,ct was to bring before the Burial Board the question whether that body or the churchwardens were to , aka the repairs of the churchyards in hand. Where the churchyards were closed by acts of parliament, he believed that the clause was that the Burial Board should be called upon ti keep them in repair, and then make a demand upon the overseers for the expenses. On the suggestion of the CIItIREAN, the letter was referred to the Clerk to report upon. This closed the business. BOYS' CLOTHING MADE WITH Grlt FAT TARTE, at:LEWIS an COMPANY'S. Uaneladh-street.

Mr. Gibbons stated the , on the p ECOD3 night, about h ilf-pi a eine o'clock, he and Mr. Ralnland visited the lodgings of the prisoners in Butler -street, and aporehenrieri the womee on the charge of obtaining money by false pretences. Tit; y stated th tt they were highly connected, :and begged that he would forgive them. He told tie( mheha I no power. and they must accompany him.

They said they were sorry, and would pay b etc the money they had received. Irisp ,- ctor Ringland stated that he received information of the prisoners collecting money on the pretence that it was for six chil 'dren of C,pta;n Roberta. The said Captain Roberts had died in New York, and his wife in England, leaving six children, who were now living at 12, Newton-street. lip on inquiry it was found there were no such children at 12, • Newton-street. The defence of the prisoners was that they were children of Captain R krts by a sfcend marriage, and that they were collecting money in order to usable them to go out to America. Mr. Mink contended that there was no case at all male out against them. They were remanded. On Frid .7 the two women were again brought up in the presence of a crowded court. They seemed in great despondency, ant heartily ashamed of them selves. Mr. W. Blickhurst appeared for them. Mr. Ascroft prosecuted, there being ale , in attendance nearly a score of gentlewomen of the town fr, m whom the prisoners had obteined tontrihutions. Taere were a number of clergymen present, and the cases erred to have enlisted the in ere:t of the "great unpaid," of whom there were no less than eight upon the bench. Mr. Ascroft briefly stared the case (substantially as riven above), and called Miss Alice Allen, of West Cliff, 'who deposed that 13-tvvi , en eleven and tweve o'clock on Monday last the prisoners called at her house, at d told her that their mission was to reiAe some money for viz orphan children, residing at No. 12, Newton-street. They reeresented teat the childree were the offspring of one Captain Roberts, who died-on his passage to Buenos Ayres. In carsequeree of that state /Dent she gave them two shillings for her sun', Miss Resew.. She saw them again on the Tueseay, on Walton% Parade, when they said that they lived at S eph nsoe's-terrace, and their names were Johnsor. She went to Newton street, and after her visit there she met the prisoners again in Chapel-steeet, just as they were coming out of Mole Guest's house. Sne spoke to them and salted if she had misnade-- stoed the number of the street. They replied that she had misunderstood the number, which was 24 and rot. 12. They observed further that they felt butt at being doubted, and she remarked that she did not wish to doubt them, bit she had not been able to find the chndren. Tney a.id they bad jest been to Mr. Addison, who had been very kind to them, gave them money, and told them that if they did rot get enongh, be would mike up the amo-nt required. One said, " Had we not better go to Mr. Addison at once r" Mr. Ascroft : They perhaps will have to go to Mr, Addison. (Laughter.) lifts of Bank Parade, deposed that she gave them five shillings. Miss Aldie gave them 2a 6d. Miss Denson centributed five shillines. Mel. 1. Blackhurst gave 2.61. Mrs. Napier sularerihed two shil lings. The representation was nearly the same in each case. Mr. Ascroft said he c:uld multiply this class of testimony if it were necessary. S rah Crabtree, lodging bonse keeper, Batler-street, said that on Wednesday week the prisoners came to lodge with h-r. They gave the name of Baker, and s: id they came from Liverpool. They staid until they were apprehended by Mr. Gibbons. Margaret Cunliff deposed : I live at No. 12, Newton street; I have six ebildren—(laughter)—there are no orphan children living with me. Ann Jimeon said : I live at 24 . Newton street ; I have no orphanchildren living with me. Mn Gibbons and Me Ringland detailed the apprehension of the women who expressed oontritioa fir what they had done, and said they would return the money to the various parties. Mr. Gibtons found iu the possession of one £6 and a gold watch. In the pessession of the other were found' a gold watch, silver thimble, a pair of brace'e's, and £1 9s 10,44. Mr. Blackhurst said the defence would be reserved for the trial. The prisoners were then commit ted to the sessions. At LEWIS & OMPANY'S, Ranelagh-street.

BET3RE MB. •MANBFI rLD„ Krum—Charles Williams, a sailor on beard the ship Tuscar.va, was charged with having stabbed another sailor, named John Babe, belonging to the same ship. 'Com plainant said he was knocked down by the prisoner, who had a knife in his hand, 'but he could not say if the prisoner used rho knife. The policeman who had charge of the case said he got the prisoner wiping blood off the knife now produced. Furgeon Wall, of the Northern Hospital, said he found four wounds on the c-mplainant's bead, but he was of opinion those were inflicted by kicks, rather than by a knife. The prisoner was sent to gaol for two months. MORS KNIFING.—A girl, named Margaret Johnston, was c harged with having stabbed another girl, Earned Catherine M‘Gowan, in Peter-street. The parties fell out abDut a foreigner, when the prisoner took up a knife and stabbed complainant in the forehead. She was remanded for the press nt. OUT OP THE SALT INTO THE PICKLE.—John Smith, a salt-dealer, residing in Virginia-street, and Charles M'Ardle, a carter, were charged with havitg stolen 7 cwt. of *salt, belonging to Bernard B gue, a salt-dealer, living in Pitt-street. Mr. Cobb was for the prosecution, Mr. 81. ck for the prisoner Smith, and Mr Campbell for the other prism er The case lasted some time, but may be summed up thus-:—The prisoner Smith and the proseentor had each quantities of salt on the Prince's dock ba , in quay; the heaps were lying within twenty yards of ech other. The prisoner M•Ardle was Mr. Smith's caner, and by his directions took away the salt which wait claimed as the property of Mr. Bogne. It would seem that Mr. Smith was cautioned not to take the salt, as it was not belonging to him, and the same calla ,n was given to the carter, but to no purpose. It also appeared that there seas some former dispute between the parti-s. and no good feeling existed betwixt them. Mr. Smith's proceedings were, however, open. and without any con cealment. It was ultimately agreed to let both prisoners stand out on their own recognisance to this day, in order to produce other witnesses.

LONDON COURT OF BANKRUPTCY.—OcroBER 3, TUE AUDIT CP COLONEL WILLIAM PETRIE WAUGH'S ESTATE. This was a meeting to audit the assignee's accounts under the bankruptcy of William Petrie Waugh, proprie tor of Branksea Island and Castle, and also described as of little Abingdon-street, Westminster, and No. 10, Upper Grosvenor-street, brick and tile maker. The bankrupt has rendered his name familiar to the public, in conse quence of his transactions with mining companies, the tiarwich and Continental Steam Packet Company, and the London and Eastern Banking Corporation, from his co dire tors of which latter company he obtained advances to the extent of 1:237,0J0. The Colonel was declared a bankrupt so far back as the 3oth of April last, and the examination meeting for passing his accounts was fixed for the 13th of June f &owing, bat up to this time he has filed no balance-sheet, and adjournments have been from time to time granted, at the expense cf the creditors, and protection from arrest awarded the bankrupt, on the ground that he was suffering from disease of the heart, and that the least excitement by his removal from Marseilles, to undergo an examination in London, might endanger his life. Nothing appears upon the proceeding 4, atd probably never will, of the number of creditors who are labouring under the diseases cf mind and body through the reckless conduct of the bankrupt. Tbe following is a copy of a letter from the bankrupt's wife, who contracted a debt of £l,BOO odd wi , h her milliner, Miss Lila Clarke, of Regent street (and of Bold-street, Liverpool), f.tr court dresses, and various articles of dress tS the nac.st sumptuous and extravagant charac'er. The letter in question is dated from D'lncur Evans, and is addressed to Mr. Lawrance (Messrs. Lawrance and Plows), the bankrupt's advocate, and is as follows: " Dear Sir,—lt gives me great dis'ress to be obliged to inform you, that my. husband, Colonel Waugh's health, is sill in a very preratiou3 state. lie Entre. s great pain in the region of the heart, au , is altogether so weak as to render ic impos sible for him to undergo the anx:ety of an examination in London, and this is the opinion of alts medical men who have even him.-1 beg to remain, very fdi !Ally yonrs, " MARY 'MURRAY WAUGH. " Moms. Lawrance and C Old Jewry Chambers, London." It appears that the bankrupt deposited a bill of sale with the London and Eastern Bank, upon obtaining loans from them, by which instrument he made ever the Island of Branksea, comprising ab ut three acres of a productive clay soil ; his plate furniture, horses, and carriages, and all his available property, including his " castle." Tne bill of sale, which was executed to secure £BO 000, has s'nce beea transferred to the Oriental Brnk, fur advance. ma 'e to the former corporation, at d the proceeds will be the subject of litigation, altor the p operty has b2en realised, between the assignees of the bankrupt c:Ann..l and ,he two banks. The aggregate amount of de')ts hitherto proved against the bankrupt's estate is between £20,000 and £3O 000, and the balance sheet of the receipts and payments of Mr. Bell, the official assignee, Showed that the as-ets in hand were less than £l,OOO. His Honour examined and Faseed the assignee's accounts, but no day was named for the dividend meeting. The bankrupt's examination now stands adjytumed until the 19th of November next, at twelve o'clock. BOYS' CLOTHING HA - E WI 'H. MIS TV.TE AT LEWIS and COMPANY'S, Ranelagh-street.

The w iter gave an slatm, and Mr. Croft, surgeon, was rent for, and promptly attended. On his wrival he said the deceased was dead, and had been so for some time. A letter written by the deceas-d was found upon the tab'e, directed to Mr. Middleton, surgeon, of B aw-lane, referring to the fact that he intended to comm t suicide and wishing that his body mi2lit be sent to a hospi'ei r dissection, for the purpose of ascertaining what was the matter with him, as he had suffered from acme i'itcrn'il cempl , •int. TRADE OF TIIE WEST —The Chicago Press thus wriots on this subject : —" A' every step of our progress down the S. Lawrence, we re sliced more deeply the truth of the remark of o ir old frierd Captain Robert /Ingunin, that the g,-eat Gel when he made the great fertile Wtst, made also the lakes and the mighty S. Lawrence to carry i , s commerce to the ocean, and though, for a time, tural boundaries and natural barriers, essential to the existence of three lakes, have turned aside that commerce from the rnagnin tent &Ismael which the God of nature has provided fur it, nearly all these obstacles are now le at ved, an] the itte:itable laws of trade will, ere long, fully appro priate the most mageificent highway for the commerce of the ADP- rican c ,ntinent that can be found upon the face of the earth.

At the time, Dr. Trotter m ntiened the repugnance or dislike ha had to aconi e, in consequence of hia wire some years ago having nearly taken it through mistake far some other medicine. He, however, got the liniment made lip, and applied it to the face of Ms. Trotter, but, its beneficial effurs not being apparent, on Sunday last he went to Mr. Robson's surgery ,to get some tincture of henbane for her. Mr. Robson was in the surgery at the time, and eta's; potiti-vely that D Trotter asked for aconite. which he took from a bottle centaiiting the tinctn e, which was securely fastened and corked ; while, on the other hand, D..

Oa Friday, Beale was spin examined before the magis trates at. Boniton. After the depositions had been read over, and some of Mr. Bythene's servants, and of the railway officials, examined, Elizabeth Davey, of No. 2, Apes-buildings New- eat, deposed that she knew the prisoner, and had known him for several years. On the 10. h of September, at between 11 and 12 o'clock, she saw the prisoner 'and a short female pass her, and going in the dime ion of the prison, which led towards Leigh Woods. The woman wore a dark alpaca drew. Dir. Jones, a tailor, working attar. Alpin's, Wine-street. proved that he saw the prisoner in Bristol on the night a the 7th, and again on the morning of the Bth. He then had in his pos ession a loaded pocket pistol, a very small one. He said that he was going to Bath. Mr. Lucas proved that the pistol was a likely weapon to have pro duced the wound on the head. The bullet txtrac - ed from the skull very nearly corresponded in weight with that taken fr ma the pistol found on the prisoner. John Hill, an intelligent youth, about 13 years of age, was then called—He dep,,sed that about half-past four o'clock in the afternoon of Thursday, the lOca of September, ha was on Leigh. Down, at the top of Nightingale Valley, in company with four other boys. He and another were in a tree, gathering berries. They saw a man and a woman there. They were coming across from the wall towards Rownhsm, and going in the direction towards the river. When he first saw them the man was standing by a tree and the woman was going on before, but the man then went after the woman and they went on together. The prisoner at the bar was the man. Wae quite sure he was the man, as he noticed him particularly. Did not take particular notice of the woman. She was a short woman, and had a dark dress on. Witness and his companions remained about the wood for nearly an hour, and in about a quarter of an hour after he had seen the man and woman pass them he heard the report of a gun or pistol The report came from the direction in which they had gone. In reply to questions by Mr. Harris, the witness said he saw the prisoner and recognised him last Sa!nrday. There was a large number of persons. Before he saw him, witness gave a descrip tion of him to Mr. Gou d, the chief of police. The prisoner, when he saw him in the wood, had on a very dark brown coat and a cap Could not say what kind of cap it was. Knew him by his features. William James Collins, a companion of the last witness, who was with him in the wool at the time,r . .corroborated his statement. Witness was quite sure that the prisoner was the man. Noticsd him particularly, because* Hill said to him, " Here are two lovers." The witness also stated that he recognised the prisoner as the man on last Saturday, and ssid he was not then pointed rut to him as being in custody on a charge of murder. The magistrates inq aired of the prisoner, in the usual way, whether he had anything to say, when Mr. Harris said, acting under his advic., the prisoner would reserve his defence for another occasion. The pri soner was then fu.ly committed to take his trial for wilful murder. GENERAL HAVELOCK AND THE MUTINEERS.

My agent has not thought fit to mention the matter, but I cenj-cture he was justified in stopping the traffic of the town. I presume that my prerogatives were vhallenged, and that my servant re sponded to the call. It sizes just a m fitter of form. Such is, the gist of the earl's letter, which appeared in the Daily News. We were certainly not disposed to a , tribats the silly act of Mr. Charles Birket to the Lord of Knowsley. We cannotitnagine that so estate a person as the noble Earl would select a ridiculous rad indefensible position with out provocation. Hii loraship is well aware that he cannot afford to loose any portion of his popularity, and nothing was to be gained but by the blockade of a leading thorcughfeire in Preston. We are willing to take the Earl's word for more thaa the simple declaration that lit agent did not inform him of the petty quarrel which has caused so much excitement in Preston and in West min ter. But while the Earl and the Countess, with the Lady Emma, were making the tour of Scotland, his repre seatative was acting like the chief retainer of some feudal boron of the fourteenth and fifteenth ceatnry. We learned, however, by the fashionable intelligence in Thursday's papers that the Conservative lealer and h's family had returned home, and sie indulged the hope that he would repudiate the rash act of Mr. Birket. To our surprise, however, we find in the letter referred to, the noble lord not only asserts his ienorance of the speci transaction, hut also repeats the absurd claims, put forth on h's behalf. The Earl thus makes himself a party to a gratuitously Auld els transaction, end must be held responsible for the conduct of his deputy. Let us Fee on what foundation the earl's pretensio reit. We shall not refer to the primary cause of this squabb e. Suffice it to say he considers that the southern elle of the Lancaster-road stdl belongs to his private domain ; the corporation assert that the road is a public highway. We regret to say, however, that the noble lord does not correctly state his own case. He says that he bas been engaged for some ye,r3 in t po - ang, at great exnerve to himself, but g reatly to the benefit of the town of Preston, and intended thoroughfare through his private property ; and he has the temerity to add that the road "is not conaple ed," and has " never b en dedicated to the public." We are constraieed, in the first place, to question the motive of the writer. We imagine the principal object he ha , l in view in opening a cone:nun:ca tion with Church street was the improvement of hid own properta immediately adjacent; but whether such was his motive or not, everybody except Lord Derby is aware that the value of his property has been grea If enhanced since the road was extended. We are ready to admit that the public coev.enience has been served by his lordship's im paatements ; but not in a greater degree than his own estate. With reference to she second al,eaation, that the portion of the road in question has never been dedicated to the public, we also have a word or two to say. We d,ny the accuracy of this statement, If the matter were at all doubtful, we should not care to argue it in this place ; bet no question can be seriously raised on this heed. For several years the rood has been finished, houses ant sh , ps have been built on either side, the Post office stands ou the debated ground, a vast traffi has payed over it every day fet a long period, without let or hindrance. This surely constitutes it a highway. But it Lord Derby wants addaionol evidence or authority, it can be furnished. We will jest refer him to a case in point, that his lawyer will tell him destroys his pretensions at once. In the memorable cause of Woodyer v. Hadden, Mr: Justice Chambre soled that "no iime is necessary for evidence of a dedication. If the act of dedication be unequivocal, it may take place immediately. For instance if a man built a double row of houses opening into an ancient street at each end, making a street, and sell or let the houses, that is instantly a highway." The hypothetical case of the judge precisely resemales the case in dispute. The meter now begins to assume a real importance, and the monstrous pretensiens of the Earl must be reisted. Toe L ancast-r-rood is properly described as one of the arteries of our town. The end over which Lent D oby chirps a right is the most important part of the thoroughfare. An enormous treffic would have to travel a circuitous Loate if this outlet were closed ; and the in couvaiience to every person in the town would be at times great if atcess to tb.-: post office could not be had from Church-street. If the Liucaster-road were a second or third-rate glee, we might be hss anxious about, its freedom; but it cannot be tol, rated that the agent of a great landholder shall, to grat,fiy an idle whim, check the traffic of a town, and within a hundred and fay yards of the Town-hall bid defiance to the mayor and corporation. The assertion of such a prerogative in Cause times is enough to stir up hostile feelings in the breasts of Engishmen ; anti it the noble cal cares to sand well with soce?y, he w4l order Mr. Birket to remove the remaining vestiges of the blockade without delay.—Preston Guardian. COMMITTAL OF TWO DRAGOON OFFICERS HOE ASSAULTING THE POLICE. At Marlborough-street Police-court, on Saturday, Lieu tenant Barton and Cornet Echalaz, both of the 7th Dragoon Guards, were brought before Mr. Bingham, charged with violently assaulting the police while in the execution of thair duty. Police-constable 34 C stated that about one o'clock that morning he was on duty in the Haymarket, when his attention was attracted to the two defendants, who appeared to be having an altercation with a man. A crowd etas assembled, and he desired them to disperse. The defendants refused, and commenced pushing the people about. Several complained to witness about is, and he again requested them to go. The defendant Barton asked him what the - he had to do with it, and they then. pushed a man against the shutters, and Barton struck him. He took him into custody, when he said he'd be - if he'd go, and struck witness a violent blow on his mouth, which bled very much He then took witness by the cellar, and nearly strangled him. The other defendant came up and tried to rescue him from his custody. A mob of at least five hundred persons had assembled, and the defendant was eventually rescued from hie grasp. He then sprang his rattle for assistance, and another constable having come up, both of the defendants were eventually taken into custody. Richard, 57 0, said, about one o'clock this morning he was is Piccadilly, when he heard a rattle sprung from the direction of the Hay market. lie ran to the spot, and saw the defendant Barton holding lag's witness tight by the collar, so that he was nearly strangled. Witness, after a struggle, released him from his grasp, and the constable was so severely hurt that he could scarcely speak. At this time the defendant Echalaz had hold of Barton, trying to pull him away. The mob was so great, and the defendants' conduct such, that the last witness was obli g ed to release them. Witness subsequently took • Barton into custody, and conveyed them to the station, followed by the mob, who threw stones at him, one of which hit him on the breast with grsat force and hurt him very much. Both of the defendants, who bad given the assumed names of Brown and Simpson, denied the charge being so bad as stated. Tney were in the Haymarket in the morning, when some man came up and grossly insulted them, and while they were remoastrating with him, the officer came up and took them inte custody. They also deniied there being a mob of 500 people ; the fact Weil, there were not 50 present. Mr. Birghem said the defendants, who, from their manner and dress, he should take to be gentle men, did not seem to feel the lamentable position in which they were placed. Instead of showing off their valour by as,aulting the police, it would be (nude better for them to be off to India, and display their coarAge there. The police must be protected, and as he made no distinction between rich . and poor, he should commit each of them for ten days to the House of Correc.ion. O.a hearing this sentence, the defendants expressed a desire to speak to the magistrate in private, wince Mr. Bingham refused to do. 'The defendants then gave their real names and professions, and said they ws:re under orders for India with their regiments, and were to leave on Monday nexe They, therefore, begged the magistra'e rot to seed them to prison, as it would be their ruin. They were exceedingly sorry for what they had done, and lamented the position in which they were placed. Mr. Biugham said under these circumstances he should be sorry that the country should be deprived of the servic s of two such stout gentlemen ; bat before ho could alter his decision in the lettet, ha must cause inquiries to be made about them at thJ War-office.

(Continued from 23rd September] CHAPTER SCCIAL AMIE DOMESTIC EVILS OF D2UNICENNE3B. I believe no man living, who uses intoxicating drinks, is free from the da-ger of at least occasional—and, if occasional, of ultimate habitual—exceis. Young men of the very finest powers hive been led by them jute vice, ruin, and early death. Such have become virtual paracides—tradesmen made bankrupts—men of talent discharged from lucrative situations—Sunday-school teachers led to prisan— scholars and superintendents dragged to profligacy and shame—men deserted by relations and friends—ministers of religion, of high ac.cleinic honours, splendid eloquence, and great usefulness, hurled over the precipice of public infamy, with their eyes wide open, and gazing with horror on their fate. Men of the strongest and clearest intellect and vigour, made walker than children or fools—gentlemen cf high standing and refined taste made worse than brutes—kind husbands and fathers into menstars—hmast men into villains— Christian ladies into bloated seti. " Under the ravages of drunkenness the land mourns." Drunkenness causes me ,t of the shipwrecks, fires fatal aceideats,crimes, out ages, murders and suicides; robs numberless wives of a husband's affections, and hundreds of thousands of children of a panent's fondness ; strips thousands of homes of every comfort ; deprives tens of th sesendi of poor children of e tucation, and turns them into the stre ; empties the House of God and fills gin shops— the D tempi 3—continually; trains 1,030,030 of oar youths for some penal settlement ; the prison, poor-: ease, or the asylum, hurries at the very least, every year, 54,000 immortal being. to premature graves. Drunkenness expels reason, dro vns the memory, distempers the body, defaces be suty, diminishes strength, infismes the blood, causes Internal, external. and incurable dice tees ; , is a witch to the senses, a devil to the soul, a thief to the purse, a•beggar's companion, a wde's woe, an I childrens' sorrow; it makes a strong men weak, a wise min a fool. 113 is worse than a beast, and a se'f-murderer, who d , inks to oth n good health, and robs himself of his own. He is, I repeat, w srse than a beast, for no animal will designedly intoxicate itself. By the effects of this Infamous drink—this brutalising, reason-destroying drink—his evil passions and tempers are freed from restraint, and while I s a state of intoxication he commits actione, which, when sober, he would have shuddere 1 a sly to have thought of. many an evil deed has been done, many a murder committed, when those who did these horrid deeis were ander the influence of the cursed drink. Sca••cely an assize posses without some victim of alcoholic drink attemptins; to palliate his guilt by the' plea that he was drunk This excuse the law wisely allows net; for, if men voluntarily (lewd' e themselves of their reason, surely they ought not to be held innocent of whatever th-y may do n ider such circumstances. Indeed, it will be my business to prove that drunkenness is the source of nearly all the social and domestic evils that afflict the hn-nan race. It is, I onfess, utterly imeoseible to exaggerate those evils ; the great diffle, shy is, in being entirely unable, in any fo m, to paint them in colsurs stunisiently - vivid to produce anything like an adeonate Impression. Intemperance in nature is a tyrant ; bat of every species of tyranny, drankenness is the most despotic. Drunkenness is mite wasting in its rava - vs, more terrible in its results, more untiring in its destruction, than either famine, pe3ti. lance, or war. These dire evils have their -easous of repose, but drunkenness gives no respite, its dread ma :history works night and day, and multiplies w.th each succeeding ag Drunkenness not only involves a feed il and sinful waste in its vary being, but Is the teeming source of want and waste. It Is not only a pest in every family where it exists, but is the praparer of every other pa t ; in fine, it biteth like the serpent, and stings like the adder . To some of the rem sriable extremes and stratagems which the scorpion bitten victims of drunkenness resort,in order to gratify their appetites and ape ease the desire for e'rang drink, which drunkenness creates, I will endeavour to direct attention. The pawning of clothing, furniture, &c., for money for the purpose of obtaining intoxicating drink, is carried to an extent of which some have but little conception. A witness before a Parliamentary Committee, app sin-ed to inquire into the cause and extent of crime, deposed that he saw two men come out of a public-house in London, an -1 , after talking awhite togethes, deliberately tske off their shirts in the open street, and one of them took them to the pawabreker's for m iney to proc are snore drink. One Monday morning, about 10 o'clock, I saw three nem in Freda sick-street, in this town; they hrd hat drink. When passing them I o verheard one se, ing, My shirt Is so bad, or I would pawn it, but yours are good, let me pawn them. I halted to nee the upshot of that &larder business. The two men said very wall, and turned up an entry, opp)sita the Rona in Catholic Chip rl then bullltng, and deli berately took off their shirts and gave them to• the man to pawn for more drink. he most singular instance of soheming I ever ha ird of to obtain intoxicating drink come ac2identally ton:ay knowledge, whilst stair: ing in a smallware-shop nekiln-lane, a pawnbroker's assistant came in, just at the moment a drunken mai passed, doubtless reminding the young man of the el cum , tanee, when he observe I —" the strong at dodge to raise the wind I ever heard of ottearred to-day at our shop by a man from Orrnskirk. Thinking I Lnew everybody there, I felt anxious to h-ar the affair, and urged him to narrate the circumstance. Ho ob,,e ved that two man from that piece were on what they termed a spree in the team, and their money being done, were at their wits end to raise more. One of them. hoirevar, had a valuable timber leg, which he resolved upon pledging ; t r that end he came to our shop, and having unshippad the inanimate porti,r, of himself—his timber limb—and deposited it on the counter, said, give me las o that. After a minute's ins.,ection, I said there could be little doubt bat ere long the amputated portion of the inanimate would be j ,fined to the ani not i portion; of the men, and that they world perfarrn their united functio 14. I advanced the money, when the other carried the legless to the public-house, that they might continue their debau .h. Mr. ileropath stand to a Parliamentary Committee that he hal the son of a woman in his emgloy, who sell the teeth out of her he td, her hair, and positively, on one occasion, so strong was her appetite fur drink, and not having moans to procure ic, that she oTored her body, when dead, to the do ;tor, for five shillings, for money to obtan drink. I wit here state two circumstances that occurred in the street where I reside, illustrative of the socia' aad dom !Ale evils re raitin g from drunkennes,. O the 7ch of March, my wife was retur-ing home, when she observed two c'll!dren, about font a i• 1 six years of age, Wtho at shoes and stockings, standing by a public-house door—amid a rainy night, and a keen, c•itting March win I—tha sliest tin the door a little open, an 1 crying to its mother inside to come home and put a fan' coals on the firs. They vera shivering with, cold. Tans, do mothers spend the money in teat that bring' starvati n sal rein, instead of those things w:aleh would make their poor children warm and comfo7table. On the 9th of the same month I was retarnin; home front a meet. Ing, abut ten o'clock, whei a person taking off his hat, and callin;; me by my name, al 'rained in vet; re tpeatfully by saying, " I have hd no meat t '-da', sir, and I have not wherewi , h t pay my lodg• ings ; will you assist me ?" Ina few days afterwards I happened to be in the police court, and saw this individnal arraigned beton) Mr. Mansfield, charged by hit mistral:ls wire, wi , h tbres lit,le children, for ill-using her and ne,;.leeting to provide far her and her chilren. Poor man, he hid no mean , * of provi ling fu his f tmily. Mr. Manstioll com mitted him to prison for titres no the, with bard labour, and the paro Altai aethorities posted his no 113 on the walls of the town as a rogue aid vogab ind for deserting his timid?, H re is a men who, whin flat I kilo him, Was re _;orled an one of tie meet respectable men in Wigan relied thro agh intedeitin;• drink to this degraded and humiliating c mditioa. Hit h: been to!d 531733 drtem years az:), when he kept his horse ant gig, that this sod c drafty voi!d bean him, he would have sail with 033 of old, " In thy servant a dog th,t he should do such thingn." "Let him that thinketh he standeth take heed lest he also fall." rots' abstinence is the only safe shelter from the avenging power of in'ox;catin drinks. I know an a brewer, wll3, twenty years since had his hunter=, and was living at the rate of not less than .£l,OOO per annum, through drunkenness was so re laced as to ba dependent 11,,0n a few poor men, to whom ne Was kind ii his palmy days, wh3 sympathised with him and kept him oat of the w) khluse, and, to their hen tar be ierec)rde 1, carried him to the grave. Th -se facts surely need no comment. I simply ask, if that which produces wretchedness asd beg; try, de Tolls the husband, the wife, the parent, the son, and the d to Bar of that self-rega d so ess ma!ial to the good order and alvenccare • it of society, (tura it no: to be removed ? Bit further. Mr. Poynter sated before a parliamentary comm . ...tee that he hat air efficient clerk in h s ecn2ioy, who, after a Lang deba:ch, took poison, from the effects of which he on'y recovered through the aid of D.. Clatterbeck ; yet this c rcumst ince did not deter him from , :ruakenness ; for, visit n; amen.; the poet for a charitAb'e purpose, I found his widow and five children is extreme poverty, ha having committal shield@ while 1 iboar:ng under that dreadful raala ly of drunkena .ss, the deliriu n trem3ns.
