IHE LAWYERS ON THE LIQUOR LAw-We give
elsewhere an opinion of ex Judge Beardsley on
the new liquor law. He concurs with most OF
the eminent men who have been consulted on
the subject in considering the law unconstitu-
tional or invalid. Mr.. +. B. Cutting has also
given an opinion in the same sense Applications
were made to Messrs. Charles O'Conor and
Curtis Noyes for their opinions, but these gen.
tlemen declined to give any. They will pro-
badly be more ready to enlighten the public
when the next election has defined the strength
of parties.
In the meantime all is tranquil in snticipa-
ton of the 4th July. The prohibitionists are
feebiy attempting to put forward the absurd
fallacy that the sale of liquor is an offence at
common law, to be punished when the mower
Of granting licences determines, like any other
nuisance The Recorders decision has demo-
lished this theory so far as the courts 90 ; and
the common sense of the public has made short
work of it elsewhere. II is quite clear that.
were the legal restrictions laid aside, the sale
Of arsenic and prussic acid would not be a nui-
sance, or Illegal how much more allowable
the traffic in wines and spirituous liquors which
no one but fanatics classes with poisonsl
There is, we are happy to say no excess of
drunkenness arising from the absence of IL
censes. The common sense Of the public has
taken the place of legislative restrictions ALI
men are agreed that drunkenness must be
checked. They differ only as to the plan. To
the END they arc sure TO adopt the right one.

TIE ATMosPHTRICAL EFFECT OF THE CAM
NoEADE AT SEBAsToPoL-A correspondent IF
the Post states that French sauunt ascribes the
unusual rains and atmospherical disturbances
over a great part of Europe, to the prolonged
and terrible cannonade in the Crimea 1t is a
little curious that We heard some days ago dis
cussion upon the same topic here, by some
scientific gentlemen, and it was observed that
this fact was strictly in accordance with the
theory Of Prof Espy and was assented to by
Arago and some of the most accurate mete-
DRUGGISTS in Europe.
The cannonade at Sebastopol was succeed
ed, as late accounts show, by profusc rains,
which filled the trenches, and the same influ-
ence extended over regions thousands Of
miles distant. But it was rather in reference
to the late violent whirlwinds and tornadoes
in various parts of the world, that the matter
was here discussed, and it was admitted that
the conclusion of so continuous and prodi-
gious retonation had also an immense effect
upon the great aerial circulation. Much. how
ever, may be due to the action of liberated
caloric from the flame of the mutitudinous
discharges of heavy cannon, as well as to the
interfusion of extraneous gasses with the at
mosphere. This famous siege Of Sebastopol
promises to be a subject Of interest to men of
science rs we'll as men of war
In conversation with some gentlemen at
tached to the navy, we were informed that
during the Mexican war, when large num-
Der of armed ships arrived at about the same
time at Pensacola navy yard, their continued
firing, as each came into the harbor, was sue
cee,led by tremendous whirlwind, which
did much damage. We commend this fact
to the attention of Lieut.. Maury, whose par
ticular business it is to look after the winds
and the courses of the winds.-Bost. Courier.

This came off on the 9Th and 9th. About
ten thousand persons were in the Museum in
the course Of the LAY. The stock TO be ex-
hibited amounts in all to lab Seven sets of
triplets, eleven sets of twins, and 100 single
babies. They were not all in attendance
yesterday.
After describing the babies the Tribune de-
scribcs the crowd:
The spectators were not the least interest
ing portion of the spectacle. One old gentle
man was .expatiating to his grown-up daught-
ers on the wonder of the three boys and two
girls exhibited by Mr.. Sprague, being all the
product Of one birth. Women we've there
whitened and rouged jolly fellows too
whose breath was strong enough to go alone
if they were not, sailed about chucking ba-
bies under the chin. The bearded lady ioked
with beardless young men, and the Brobdig-
nag Giantess of the high-heeled boots, dis
pensed her favors from on high. An elated
individual reeled up to her and stammered
out his general wish that she should always
be happy and never need a doctor. He
assured her. with the peculiar emphasis of
intoxication, that she had nothing but his
best wishes. A little competitor with two
Shanghai feathers in his cap and scratch on
his nose, looked on in mute wonderment.
The crowd, which was very great at the
hour of opening, increased until there was
scarcely standing-room. there being at one
time nearly 5000 persons in the Museum,
and most Of them on the second floor. There
were about 10000 visitors during the day,
mostly ladies, very many of whom curled
their lips at the specimens of infantine beauty
presented, as much as to say that they might
or could or would do better Young ladies
leaning on loving arms as sentimentally as
the pressure of the crowd admitted, looked
into their lovers faces with this expression.
And no wonder, for nothing but parental
pride could have induced most of the exhib-
itors to show their productions with the ex-
pectation of premium.

OF The Chicago papers are filled with ac-
counts of grand excursion on the Chicago,
Burlington, and Quincy Railroad. 1t was
unanimously voted THE EXCURSION OF THE
SEASON. Good dinners were provided and
eloquent speeches were made By the way,
how many orators we have in America
Americans" said Mrs. TRoLLoPE, "have
the gift of the CAB, and call it eloquence."
Here is a good paragraph from the speech
of Mr.. LARNED on the occasion:
Sir, the distinguished Senators from Mi
chigan (Gen. Cass,) and from illinois (Judge
Douglas at the meeting in Burlington en-
tertained you with some most interesting
"reminiscences of the past. They presented
some pictures of this country as it was twenty
years ago.
am too young in Western life, Sir, to be
able to sketch to you any pictures of the past,
but picture of its future visited my mind as
l gazed upon the landscape through which
we have been transported, which seems to
me as truthful and full of interest TO us
jewellers in the present as scenes drawn from
the long past.
saw, sir, these magnificent prairies filed
with teeming millions Of inhabitants and dot
ted all over with the happy homes of free
people | saw beautiful cities, and thriving
towns everywhere springing up. L saw the
public school house of generous dimensions
and pleasing exterior rise up before me on
these grassy slopes, the token of the presence
of wide and pervasive spirit of intelligence.
| saw universities of learning shedding the
light of science upon the broad land-and
churches lifting their tall spires toward the
heavens, and proclaimng the glad tidings
that the voices Of religion had penetrated into
the recesses Of the wilderness, and the vast
prairies had become vocal with the praises of
God
saw all those graceful refnements, which
indicate the beautiful presence of woman
The arts were there in their full develop
ment. Music and painting, and sculpture and
architecture-all that gladdens and all that
beauties human life.
The glory Of an elevated Christian oivill-
zation seemed to come out from the future
and descend upon the landscape, making 1t
radient with more than mere natural beauty.
This may seem TO YOU now as the wild vision
OF a wild fancy, but TO my judgment it Is just
as certain TO become sober reality, as that the
country which we to-day look upon, and
which is now traversed by these great lines
Of railroad, and containing even now so many
beautiful cities, was but twenty years ago the
solitary wilderness seen by the Senator from
Michigan as he sailed in his birch canoe on
his visit to the Winnebagoes

KENTUCKY ELEcTIoE.-The glorious result
in the sold Dominion" has greatly encour-
aged our Democratic friends in Kentucky
The LOUISVILLE Times in speaking of the cleo
toneering tour of CLARKE, the Democratic
Gubernatorial candidate, says:
Everywhere he drew large crowds to hear
him, and after hearing him, numbers of both
Wings and Democrats withdrew from the
Know Nothing lodges. Large numbers of
old Wings will support him against the mon
,rel clark lantern" candidate. A gentle
man from Davies informs us that in that
county Clarke will poll nearly half of the
whig vote of the county, while nearly all the
Democrats are leaving the Know Nothing
lodges and coming back to their old party.
"It is the belief of well-informed gentle
men who have watched Mr.. Clarke's progress
thus far, that ne viii carry the State by
twenty thousand majority"

HousToN, TEXAS, May 23d, 1855.
1t affords me great pleasure tn inform YOU
that Texas has recently been favored with
plentiful rains throughout her entire borders.
These rains have come in time to insure
plentiful corn crops which is, after all, every
thing considered, the great crop of this State,
if not of the United States. The wheat crop
will be short. The prospects of our cotton
and sugar planters are fiattering.
The future Of Texas never doomed forth in
brighter colors Every branch of trade, and
all industrial pursuits, are fiourishing. A
stringent prohibitory liquor law is only a
question Of time" and that time it Is thought
the 'so0sreigns' will decree at the next An
gust election shall be the winters of 1866,
the time for the session Of the ne1t Legisla-
tnre. There seems to be no doubt but that
a large majority of the voters of Texas are
prepared to sustain a prohibitory liquor law
of the most stringent character, to keepwithin
Constitutional limits. Having suffered Sc
verely from The effects of Alcahol, they are
disposed to give him legal quietus.
Galveston, Houston and Austin have each
passed laws closing liquor shops, &c, on Sun
day, like Philadelphia and New York.
The public morals are evidently improv-
inc. The cause of temperance has gained an
enviable position in Texas. Education is adj
vancing Church extension is progressing.
Seminaries of learning are flourishing. Mn
isters receire good salaries.
