THE TEMPERANCE MOVEMENT. Lest evening
the ninth and last meeting of the London Temperance
League was held in the great room at Exeter-hall ; J.
Silk Buckingham, Esq., in the chair.. The chairman spoke
in condemnation of intoxicating drinks. It appeared from
a report that the sum of 4701., arming from the fund of
the demonstration of last year, had been paid over to the
league. The expenses of the league had been 1001. a
month, and from 16,000 to 20,000 circulars, tracts, appeals,
&e., had been distributed. Ten lecturers had been en-
gaged, who had delivered 1,000 lectures in the midland
end southern counties. A reading room and library bad
been established for the use of the members of the league,
and it was proposed to carry out the demonstrations of the
next season, on an unprecedented scale. The meeting was
addressed by the Rev. Mr. Forster, of liontish-town.lle con-
gratulated the cause of teetotalism on the interest which of
late the press had taken in the movement. The use of alcoholic
liquors was a lie, and would perish, notwithstanding what
the doctors or the ministers of religion might say. Tee-
totalism was a mighty truth, and would live. Mr. Forster
concluded his speech by enumerating the many good
effects of the League, and stated that Mr. Ileyworth in-
tended to move for a select committee of the House of
Commons to inquire into the cause and effects of intem-
perance. The meeting was subsequently addressed by the
Rev. H. Belly and others, after which a collection was
made ; and several other gentlemen having spoken, the
meeting broke up.
