sang encouraging songs on the one great theme, more dis-
tinguished by energy than beauty. An address to the
Queen, and another to the House of Commons, were agreed
to, supported by the eloquence of Messrs. Hudson, Whit-
taker, Ripley, the Rev. F. Howell, and other gentlemen.
The speeches were all of the same character. Some struck
into the pathetic, others the comic path; others again took
an illustrative method of argument, and contended, for in-
stance, that because a plant withered on the application of
alcohol, or other intoxicating drinks, to its root, the human
frame must suffer in a similar way. However, all tended to
the same point, that without drinking cold water no possible
good could arise, and so passed the day to the great edifica-
tion and enlightenment of an attentive audience.
GOLD IN THE RHINE-SAND.—The Dutch Govern-
ment have taken up, of late, the much-controverted question
of the Rhine sand. Employes who have seen the washing
of gold in other parts of the globe, have visited the banks of
the Rhine about Manheim, Schaffhouse, and Basel, and have
taken large samples to Holland to be there examined. It is
not certain yet whether the washing of gold shall take
place in loco, or whether whole shiploads of auriferous sand
will be conveyed to Holland to be washed and smelted there.
