An advertisement of a runaway apprentice ea
curs in juxtaposition to this memorial of John
Milton. From runaway apprentices our puritan
forefather got to advertising runaways of all kinds,

The frequent crime of hone-stealing in the period
of the commonwealth, and in the next half cen-
tury or so, was a prolific source of advertising
in Menurios Politicos and in those papers which
followed it into existence, snob as the Public Intel-

liberal price of Oa. the ounce for long flaxen hair,
and ss, or 7s. for long fine hair of other tints. Dr.
Writer recalls the entry in Pop' "Diary,"
which describes his going to church- with the stew
periwig which Chapman ]sad made for him, cut
off his own hair for the purpose. The avowal
gratification made by Pepys, at his having aeon
the notice of the whole church, is ascribed by
Wynter to isaieeti, and to a characteristically vain
idea that " his entrance into church with what must
evidently have been the peruquier's latest fashion"
would cause a sensation. This is an error. Pepya
had in mind the feet that it was, at that particular
time, accounted infamous to wear false hair, from

The advertisement relating to the street ontrage

We might carry our inroads upon Dr. Wyntar's
article to • much greater length without tiring;our
readers ; the book contains essays quite as entertain-
ing am: instructive as that which we have lingered
over so long. The extensively varied topics
of Food and its Adulteration, the Zoological
Gardens, rats, lunatic, asylums, the London food
markets, Woolwich Arsenal, shipwrecks, military
economy, the electric telegraph, fires and fire in-
/avant*, the polite and the thieves, and mortality
in trade, and professions, are treated in no super-
ficial manner and with no halting pen. Dr. Wynter
has both industry and skill. He investigates, all
brooches of his subject, and tells us the result of
his investigation easily and unaffectedl. In short,
a better book of misoellaneotui reading ban not
come under our notice for a long while. Tables
and diagrams, where needed, assist the literary
matter, and complete the useful character of the
volume.

Mr. Vaughan—Was it with the consent of Mows. Cutler
that you abstracted from their aeries the time necoseary
to enable you to make cane an Mr. Rose
Wirer—lt was not, but I did it in the end, of justice,
as I wee anxious to expose these corrupt practices ; and
what I did I did in the Interest of my hon. friend, Mr.
D. Moon. If I had bees required to go to Berwick or Freer,
I should have obtained leave of abrade from my emploers.
I neither went to Berwick nor wrens to the releds Thad
there. I knew Mr. Berle very intimately. I became first
acquainted with him on his becoming secretary to Mr.
Disraeli, and subsequently 1 saw him domes of times in
reference to my grievances. I continued to me him down
to the time I rammed bank my papers, and was told that
nothing could be done for me. Di the course of conversa-
tion on the Saturday with Mr. Bose, he told me that both
Mr. Disraeli and Lod Stanley but told him that I bad
done great service to the government. At first Mr. Rose
did not know that I was in the madame of the Chancel-

Mr. Vaughan —We have now concluded your examine.

The witness thought that in justice to himself and the
country he ought to be allowed to make a statement on his

and as be had not bees allowed to refer to a statement be

I made were in the bands of the tortes, and had been for
some time. Of course, they used every endeavour to retain
them, and cooed very heavy expenses by the system they
pursued. The cad of my election in 1841 was about 2,500/.
All the elections in which I was engaged at Berwick were
contested: It la the charter and ale of the borough not to
allow an election to pees without a contest. Ido not ob-
serve that any notice has been taken of the election of 1853.
I think it due to the borough to say that my son lenS re.
turned in that yaw wieboat a shilling of expense beyond
the load charges. In 1857 also my expenses were only
about 1051. or 1701. It was very line that on the do of
election I was told that 40 or .50 sovereigns would win me
the election, but I declined to give anything, and conse-
quently lost the election. The candidates were Mr. Staple-
ton, Captain Gordon, Mr. Marjoribanks, and myself. I
nn-
detstood that without haring recourse to improper mea-
wires Captain Gordon had no chance of being returned. I
was surprised at the number of votes he polled, but 'ens
then I should have been if Iliad not enspeeted the means he
rooted to.

to a; the report, which showed that the efforts of

to the tells convening the meeting, which were headed
" The Great Reform," he expressed an opinion
that the committse were using the term in its best and
highest significance. With reference to the other use to
which the teem reform was applied, be might he
permitted to remark that an extension of political privi-
leges would be utterly thrown away on au intemperate
population. (Rear, hear.) They might make what Lws
they would—they might pass what acts of parliament
they could—en act of parliamentary reform never yet bet-
tered the condition of any pip*. In order that their
reform might be worth anything, it must commence with

patriotic measure which any politician or patriot amid in-
dulge in would be the enfranchisement of his count en
from that degrading drunkenness—that utter d*ra&tion
and morel ruin of which drunkenness was the capes and
consequence. (Loud applause.) He believed temperance
reform must precede all other reforms if they were to be
made effective. When they looked on the noble and disin-
tereeted eximpke which were being made by individuals and
by society in this country to instigate the hard condition of
poverty, and to raise in every way the condition of the work-
ing man, the/ might well feel some exultation at the spec-
tacle. But intoxicating drink rendered a large portion of
these efforts mere waste to thousands, he might venture to
say to millions, of our population. It was almost impossible

requisite to look over this subject from a particular point of
view. It was his duty, as paymastieriemml, to distribute
peasiem to seen* sad &welded who were ffesir-
owi to quit the army, and it was his duty to make
minute inquiry as to the cause of their incapacity; and
he ventured to say that intoxicating liquor in the army is
mare destructive to that noble force than all the prinition

conflict with the enemy. Now, what were they to del Re

to be gained might be matters on which different persons
might hold different opinions ; but on the one truth they were
sure to agree—in attempting by moral sumieu sad by
example to induce those addicted to thew clemondiaing pur-
suits to adopt a different worse of life. (Loud and renewed
applause.)
Forcible addresses were afterwards delivered by Messrs.
J. Andrew (of Leeds), Pearson, Davis, and G. Charlton,
the latter of whom thought the Temperance Society ought
to begin reforming the clerrggyy and members of parliament,
sad be considered if testotahleee looked wishy-washy, it was

opened with the singing of temperance melodies, which
were well rendered by the choir ; and after pealing the cus-
tomary votes of thanks, the meeting terminated.
