T,mperance Movements.

A grand Convention of Friends OF Temperance
and especially of members Of the various perma-
ment organizations Of pledged Total Abstinen's'
will assemble in Cincinnati on the 18th OF May, ct
which II is expected that Fifty Thousand People
other than CincinDatians will be collected. It's
object is the infusion Of increased energy and ell
cheney into the general movement for the promo
ton of Abstinence from all Intoxicating Liquors -
Prominent advocates Of Temperance from all parts
of tue Union have been invited, and many OF them
will doubtless attend.
Father THFoBALD MATHEW, the word-re-
nowned Apostle of Temperance IN Ireland, las
not been expected to arrive here in season to unite
in the Cincinnati Meeting, but he has been so
warmly pressed TO attend 1t that hopes are enter
tanned Of his compliance. We see intimations
that he may leave the Old World in the steamship
now approaching our shores and, while we be-
heve these unauthorized, we do not deem his
arrival in that steamer absolutely hopeless-
Should he start by either OF the two next steam
ships, however he may yet arrive IN ample season
to attend the great Cincinnati Convention, should
no other duties interfere with that object We
iervently hope he may do so.
