THE SOCIETIES GENERALLY.

These assembled at ten o'clock, on the site of the Old In-
firmary, and took their assigned stations in the line. The
procession consisted of no fewer than fourteen abstinence so-
cieties. The precise number we could not ascertain, but we
may state, that in the course of the procession they reached
(walking two, three, and occasionally four abreast,) from the
bottom of Shaw's Brow to a point near the top of New Bur-
lington-street, Mile End,—and must have considerably ex-
ceeded, we should think, 3000 individuals.
The route was from Shaw's Brow to New Burlington-street ;
thence to the Exchange—round Nelson's Monument; thence
by Park-lane and St. James's-street, round a flag in Mill-
street : thence along Great George's-street, and up Leece-
street, to Rodney-street ; thence along the upper line of
streets to London-road,—round the King's Monument, and
down to Queen's-square. The members were throughout
exceedingly well and neatly attired, and wore rosettes, roses,
&c., in which the white was prevalent. Each society was
headed by a good military band, and the flags, banners, and
regalia borne fly them were appropriate and numerous. The
procession was preceded by two youths hearing each the
royal standard. It was headed by the sub-committee, six
abreast. Then came the following societies :—Female Total
Abstinence Society,Youths' Park-mai, Recbabites, Liverpool
Tradesmen's Philanthropic, Jordan-street Benefit, United
Total Abstinence Benefit, Phmnix—Music Hall, Catholic
Benefit, Catholic Association, Independent—St. Andrew's,
Catholic—St. Andrews, Toxteth Park, Marine—Edmund-
street, Howard.
Many large and beautiful new flags were exhibited, and a
vast number of smaller flags and banners, with inscriptions
illustrative of the evils of intoxication and the benefits of
temperance. Amongst the flags most conspicuous, was a
representation of a drunken man reduced to misery, and boy
carried to gaol ;—the flag of the Rachabites, representing a
tent with an inscription appropriate to their order ;—" the
flag of the Phoenix Society, representing Sampson in an im-
ploring attitude, illustrative of the 18 and 19 verses of the
15th chap. of Judges ;—the Woman of Samaria at the well,
&c. There were also many fine Royal standards and National
flags. The children in the procession were neatly clad ; they
wore medals and white favours, and appeared to be delighted
with the proceedings.
On separating, the members of the several societies, many
Of them with their wives and daughters resorted to the (lifer-
ent Temperance Hotels, where tea parties were given; or
retired to their own homes, highly pleased with the demon-
stration of good order and temperance in which they had
been partakers.
PUBLIC MEETING AT THE AMPHITHEATRE.

A general meeting of the members was held at the above
place last night, at which Lawrence Heyworth, Esq. presided.
The Chairman, Mr. Grubb, and several other gentlemen ad-
dressed the meeting, and were very enthusiastically received
in consequence of the mighty improvements which they very
confidently asserted would be immediately effected by the
universal adoption of tee-total principles. The lateness of
the hour at which the meeting was held, of course precludes
our giving even an outline of the speeches.

This evening a similar meeting will be held at the same
place, which will be addressed by other speakers.
On Saturday, the festival will sconclude by concentrated
meetings in various parts of the town.

INTERESTING TO LADIES.—The preservation of the com-
plexion, from the burning pernicious influence of the solar
beam, was for ages a desideratum in science.- Half a century
back ladies suffered most severely from the effects produced
by excessive heat. The rapid progress of science has happily
brought to light a discovery of the highest importance to the
Female Fashionable World. We allude to ROWLAND'S
celebrated KALYDOR—the auxiliary, friend, guardian, and
protector of female beauty. In promenading, and aquatic
parties, our lovely countrywomen are shielded by Rowland's
Kalydor from injury: and their complexions remain as se-
ductively charming and blooming as the most florid writer
could pourtray, and for which they are renowned throughthit
