IYINI,IO,NARY EFFORTS WITH THE " LONDON TIMES."—
John T. Delane, Esq., the managing editor of the London
Times, was in Albany, in the month of October last. One
or two interviews were held with him by the President of
the New York State Temperance Society, in which be
urged upon the editor the claims of Temperance and Pro-
hibition, recounting the history of the movement, elucidat-
ing some of the principles on which it is based, and
affi ming the certainty of its triumph both in England and
America. Copies of the Prohibitionist, and otkr
puhlicatitms of the New York State Temperance SociAllf,
were sent to Mr. Delane, and which he promised to read.
It shows, notwithstanding all the great things which have
bean done by Temperance Reformers, what a mighty work
has still to be performed in the way of public enlightenment,
that not merely an editor, but the most eminent and
powerfal editor in the world, avowed his belief, as late as
October last, in the healthfulness "and innocence of the
" moderate use" of intoxicating liquors. Prohibitio,ist.
The Times, in a leading nrticle on emigration, speaking
of the great distress amongst the poorer class in the
metropolis, anti also among the agriculture labourers,
speaks of the great advantage of emigration to Canada,
anti states that artisans, mechanics, carpenters, brick-
layers, blacksmiths, together with farm labourers, can
obtain immediate employment. at wages which would be
looked upon as fabulous in England. The distance is of
no importance—the cost of transport is comparatively
steal . The climate is healthy—the people are our own
flash and blood. The emigrant is among his own kin, and
hears the English language spoken on every side. The
colony will not only receive him, but is, in fact, begging
him to come. Can he hesitate ? Here i❑ England—whet
has he? Only the four walls of his miserable room,
shared by his wife and children, and perhaps by other
tenants a prey to similar misfortunes, or perhaps steeped
in crime. Though honest, he must, perforce, be the asso-
ciate of the burglar or the footpad, and see his wife loose
gradually all sense of decency by unavoidable intercourse
with the most abandoned of her sex.

PORK FATTENED ON HUMAN BODIE3.—Let any person
says a writer in a late Ceylon paper, at daybreak start
from the gates of Government House, Calcutta ; and
whether his walk be on the banks of the river, or to the
banks of the canals, which on three aides surround the city,
he will see pigs feeding on the dead bodies of the natives
that have been thrown there during the night ; during the
day the river police clear away and sink all that remain of
the bodies. Bad as is the metropolis of India, it is nothing
compared to Patna. Hundreds upon hsndreds of human
corpses are there strewed along the strand ; and fattening,
Otioule like, upon these, are droves upon droves of swine.
These swine are slaughtered, rut up and salted into hams,
bacon, and pickled pork, and then despatched to Calcutta.
The great market for this poisonous swine produce is the
Mauritius and Bourbon, where it is foisted on the
inhabitants as the produce of Europe. Moreovor, as
these swine are sold in Calcutta at three or four shillings
each carcass, it is stated that the inferior class of
homeward bound vessels are provisioned with them, and
thus this human fed pork is introduced into Europe and
America
