or We learn that the utmost enthu-
siasm prevails in our sister city, Coving-
on, on the subject of Temperance. Gen.
Cary addressed large and intelligent
audience on Wednesday evening, and
yesterday the question of license or no
license was decided by that tribunal
which no one dares to question, the suf-
frages of a free people.
We have not yet heard the result, but
hope for the best.
Since writing the above, we have ascer-
tanned the result-192 majority for no
license.

EFFECTS OF INTEMPERANCE.-Mrs.
Elizabeth Johnston was found on board
coal boat at the foot of Pike street,
yesterday morning, burned in such a
serious manner that she is notexpected
to survive. She was picked up drunk
on Saturday night, and taken to the
boat, that she might not perish from
the cold. In the morning, she was
left alone by the fire, while the boat
men went to breakfast. When they
returned they found her clothing
nearly all consumed, and her left arm,
back and neck frightfully burned.
She was taken to the Hospital. She
is widow, and has little son-her
only child-in the Orphan Asylum.

Bishop DOane Acquitted.
THE EPISCOPAL CHURCH.

AAAN M A0NOEAA OhO hChs a.-
We have two or three times alluded
to the charges preferred against this
church dignitary. The Bench of
Bishops, for reasons never fully given
to the public, declined considering
the case. The Convention in his
diocese appointed a Committeeto to con-
slider similar specifications, and make
their report. They say; they " have
considered the charges preferred
against Bishop DOane, and they find
them false in every particular, and
believe he is an honest, virtuous, and
sober man." We would be very
strongly inclined to give Bishops Nc
Ilvaine, Burgess, and Meadea a severe
castigation for dragging their brother
Bishop before the world and holding
him up as a drunkard, if we could
believe the report of this Committee,
as above quoted. But the gentle
men have discredited their own ver-
dict. In their further report they say:
:" HIS cellars are stocked with wiae and
liquors, but not too eatrGOGgGag for a
man in his position. !" :" We have ex.
amined his house, and find that there
is not larger stock of wines and
liquors than is requisite"
A man in "his position " requires
a plentiful stock of wines and liquors
in his cellarl Why? The reason,
we suppose, is, that he is expected to
entertain Bishops, Ministers and other
church dignataries. What reproach
is cast upon the Episcopal Church by
publishing to the world that her Bish-
ops are expected and required to sup
ply the drunkard's drink to the people
of God
But the Committee, as if not yet
satisfied with their vindication Of the
accused, go on to say, that they have
examined DR.. Parrish, his family ply
sician, and he testifes that he " never
knew Bishop Doane intoxicated in his
life; and he advises the said Bishop
Doaneto DRINK MORE spirituous liquors
than he is in the habit Of doing; his
reason for saying this was, that his
duties were very severe, and he there
fore required it."
Christ says, "My grace shall be sisf-
tfcient for thee" DR.. Parrish says,
this is not true-wine and brandy are
necessary to enable a Bishop to dis
charge his arduous labors. DR.. Par
rish has given an opinion which the
whole medical faculty will utterly re-
pudiate. We think the Bishop, his
Physician, and his Committee, cut a
most contemplate figure before the
world, and what is still more to be
deprecated, have disgraced the whole
Episcopal Church.

INQUEST, No. l21, was held by
HENRY NOBLE, coroner, on the dead
body of Edward O'Brien, found lying
in the back part of coffee e-house,
kept by Smith & Davit, on the levee,
between Main and Walnut, on the
18th day of January, 1853. Verdict
Of Jury-came to his desth by cause
unknoa0n TO the Jury DAILY paper.
The above needs no comment. 1t
is given as a specimen of the deci-
sions Of some Of the high tunctiOnaries
Of our city. Found dead in the back
corner Of one of those sink holes Of
iniquity, where death is dealt out by
the wholesale, and these sageS were
unable, under oath, to ferret out any
clue as to his MURDERERs
The brief career of this young man
may be given in few words: He is
Of respectable family, living in the
old country; but he came to this
city few years since, and was en-
ployed as clerk in a store, which
situation he filled, with credit to him
self and satisfaction to his employer,
for some years. But he finally got
to going to the theatres and balls, and
fashionable drinking saloons, and neg
lecting his business to such degree,
that his employer discharged him.
He then sank lower and lower, and
became loafer, spending his entire
time in those low slop-holes that line
the steamboat landing, drinking when
ever he could get liquor. 1t is said,
he would even drink the rinsings of
glasses, when he could get nothing
else-so intense was his appetite for
strong crinks. On the evening Of
his death, he dragged his miserable
carcass into the rum-hole in which he
was found dead, a complete wreck Of
humanity-shunned by his whisky
companions-and then cast himself
upon the floor, and shortly afterwards,
attracting the attention of some of
the inmates, they went to him and
discovered that the vital spark had
fled, and left the emaciated carcass
upon the very threshold of his de,
stroyers--a beacon-light to warn the
passer-by from the fatal spot upon
which he fell. Young man, take
warning from the fate of this person.
1t is the history Of thousands.
