aln Port, Glasgow, where the police have
exercised strict supervision, great change
| for the better in the habits of the town has
taken place. In localities where drunken brawls
were SO common that twas almost dangerous
to pass through them, not single intoxicated
person Is now to be seen"
Says an Ayr paper:
"The new regulations with regard to public
houses, are working admirably. We ailude
to the prohibition of the salesof spirits on Sun.
day From all quarters, both in town and
country, the police report most favorably of
the altered state of matters consequent upon
the change. Not an intoxicated person was
to be seen last Sabbath in our streets or su-
burbs. % q 49, ~

"Duudee had never quieter or externally
better kept Sabbath than since the new Public
House Act came into operation. On Sabbath
last there was not single committal at the
police Office, from four o'clock in the morning
till the forenoon of Monday"
We might multiply these extracts indefinite.
ly, but our narrow limits forbid. One Of the
most encouraging effects of the Sunday law,
however, remains to be noticed. 1t is the in
ference which the Scotchmen very naturally
draw from its operation; that if prohibition Of
the traffic for one day IN seven produces such
excellent results, the thing must be good in
itself, and its extension to the other six days of
the week adapted to produce correspondingly
good results.
Mr.. GoueH-The Bristol Temperance Her
aid gives report of Mr.. Coughs laborsin that
city. He spoke twice to crowded audiences,
and with his usual success. From. private
source We learn that brilliant offers have been
made to Mr.. G.. to induce him to remain abroad
three years longer, aud that he will probably
accept them.
For other matters of interest We refer to the
following
Extracts from letter addressed TO Mr.. Delevan,
by Thomas II. Barker, Esq, Of the United
Kingdom Alliance
ave have received copy Of the ADDRESS,
&C., of the General Committee Of the Worlds
Temperance Convention. 1t is weighty and
valuable document, and will be read with much
interest and satisfaction by our intelligent and
earnest friends. We are not in a position to
give it wide publicity at the present moment;
but shall hope to do so ere long.
"Your tract plan is most admirable, and if
it can be well carried out, must tell powerfully
upon public sentiment in favor Of your object.
We are not yet able to undertake anything on
a scale of magnitude, nor have we such favora-
ble postal facilities as you have for the trans.
mission of documents The Address you send
US would cost i'd. postage in this country; and
with you only one cent. TO send the same to
you would cost us a fec Of four shillings. Sure
ly the time will come when such anomalies and
international barriers against the spread of in
telligence will be swept away.
"Our arrangement with the London Atlas
newspaper will cease on the lst Of July; but
You will see BY notices and advertisements in
that and other papers, that we do not intend
to be unrepresented in the press. On the first
of July we float on the waters of publicity an
organ of our own-THE ALLIANcE, a weekly
penny journal, devoted to the advocacy of the
principle and. policy of prohibitory liquor
law for old England, under the direction of the
Executive Committee of the United Kingdom
Alliance. Not less than 10000 of any num-
Der will be put into circulation from the first.
We have secured the services OF DR.. +. X.
Lees as our Editor. and are making arrange.
ments with some able writers who will supply
original articles. We shall make good use Of
American documents and correspondence and
hope you will instigate our transatlantic friends
to send US all the information they possibly
can. We hope to have many letters from your
practised pen. You shall hear frequently from
some of our allies.
1T will not be many months before We shall
have the satisfaction of reporting the prohibi
ton Of the Sunday liquor traffic in England
and Ireland. Our Scottish friends have alrea.
dy obtained that foretaste of the good things
to come. Public sentiment has wonderfully
ripened to this standard since the commence
ment of our agitation for Maine law. Even
publicans will now admit that it is scarcely
consistent to shut up bread shops and leave
beer houses open on the Lords Day. And
what perhaps is more cheering and significant,
our bishops and clergy generally, now see and
