The brig Edward Foster, arrived at Bosten

last Of March. A thorough change had taken
place in all the Offices Of that kingdom, since the
acceptance Of the constitution, and constitutions

of 1912, had received orders to attend gensra1
assembly to be holden at Madrid. On the lob

constitution was administered to the officers and
soldiers at Madrid, in the preseace Of a great
cencourse Of spectators number Of Americans

had " excited desires and wishes unknown to his
ancestors, and created new and imperious
wants." A proclamation was also issued the same
day, restoring the freedom Of the press. These
circumstances establish the fact without doubt,

Allow me'to suggest, through the medium
OF your paper, practice which leads TO tine
rum OF all that is valuable. Are there not, in
too many oil our Grocery Stores, placed at the
end Of the Counter, or some dark corner OF
the Shop, a giHcase establishment And do
we not often fud persons, otherwise respecta-
BILE, frequenting these watering places, who
would think il dsgraceiul to enter tipping
shop!
How can gentlemen reconcile the keeping
such an establishment, when they daily see
the ruinous consequences We often hear
persons lamenting, SO far as ssords go, that his
friend such an one, poor fellow, had given
himself up 10 his cups, and was lost man !;
when the destructive habit had been acquir-
ed in his own shop, in violation OF humanity,
if not Of law. II the palry gain, arising from
the sale OF glasses OF rum, oyerpowers every
humane, and every honest feeling, shall we
not call on our Selecimen, or The Grand Jury,
TO look into this mode of acquiring wealth ?
Or shall we not have some further prohibition
