MR. GOUGH' S TEMPERANCE LECTURES.

On Saturday Mr. GOUGH attended at the Concert-hall, at
twelve o'clock, for the purpose of addressing a meeting of
ladies upon the temperance movement. The galleries were
well filled with ladies, but the body of the hall was almost
entirely empty.
The chair was taken by Mr. HAR.RISON, who briefly in-
troduced the lecture to the meeting.
Mr. GOUGH then delivered ''in eloquent address to the
meeting upon the important assistance which the women of
Liverpool had it in their power to render the temperance
enterprise, as well by discouraging the social habit of
using intoxicating liquors, as by forming an organisation of
their own" practically to aid the movement. He dwelt upon
the influence possessed by mothers in forming the habits of
children, an influence which be showed was seldom wholly
inefficacious in after years, even amongst a 'parently hardened
criminals.' He also pointed out the influence of young wo-
men over young men in discouraging the drinking customs
of society, and reminthd the meeting that it was impossible
any custom could long remain fashionable or prevalent
which the female portion of the world resolutely' opposed.
Having expatiated upon these questions withimuch eloquence,
and illustrated them by a variety of instances the lecturer
expressed a hope that some steps would at once be taken to
form a society of ladies to aid the temperance movement in
Liverpool, and concluded amid loud applause,
The Rev. FRANCIS BISHOP proposed a resolution to the
effect that an association of ladies be formed, in correspon-
dence with the Ladies' Temperance Association of London,
for the purpose of bringing their influence to bear upon the
drinking customs of society in such manner as might seem
most desirable.

Mr. JOSEPH CROSSPIELD seconded the resolution, which
was unanimously adopted, the ladies present holding up
their hands.

Thanks were then passed to the chairman, and the meet-
ing separated, a, number of ladies remaining to take the
necessary preliminary steps for the organisation of the pro-
posed society.
