The search was kept up till near midnight and

ApuLTERATIoNs on pRlnK.

The Parliament of Great Britain takes considerable
pains to protect the public against the adteratons
OF food aud drink injurious often to the health
ofthe people. An investigation was had recently
by select committee ofthat body, and the report
has just heen made and published in the weekly
Record of February 9Th Dr. Normandy who
was examined as to the adulerations of beer, said
that the publican who sells It adultcratcs it with
common salt to increase thirst and With sulphates
of iron, cochlus ndicus sulphate Of ammonia, and
extract OF gentian %Cocalus indicus is used Co
produce intoxication, but is more Injurious than
the Intoxicating effects of alcohol, in the beer
There is difference Of fifty per cent of alcohol in
the beer after it comes into the publicans hands
Out OF fifty samples of draught porter and stout
examined, only one third of them were the produce
OF malt and hops alone. The "midness, % "brisk.
ness, and disguised acidity," even of tie better
samples, might be traced to the adulteration with
toots sugar or like saccharine matter, liquoriccs
roasted quassia and stinking finings. Nicotine,
alum, copperas, acetate Of potash and vinegar are
all used to flavor and color the beer Many of these
substances are of poisonous nature. They are
sold usually by the druggists to publicans:? In
gin, sub-carbonate of potash and alum arc used,
and also sulphuric acid and oil Of almonds. to
produce what is termed 'beading" or bubbliuc
when poured into the glass. The 'tfnings' arc
made Of fish fms and fish SKINS and frequently the
rats get into the tubs, and are poured out with the
fnings, in decomposed condition, into the beer
barrels. This is the stuff which Englishmcn drink,
and is very much ike the drinks which arc furnished
in this country; the latter, however, being moro
aduterated than even the English article, because
there is not the same care taken to expose the
practices of adulteration. The physicians of this
country attribute the difficulty they now have with
mania-a-potu to the villainously adulterated
compounds which are now sold under one name
another as spurious drinks

DEPLORABLE CONDITION OF THE
CHINESE REBELS.

A correspondent of the London Times says
We have just returned from our interesting
expedition up the Yang-tse-Kia | doubt not
you will besurprsed to hear how utterly devoid the
waters of the Kiang are of all junk trade
There was not single trading junk at the point
at which it is entered by the Grand Canal, nor
until we pass the ,Popang Lake are there any signs
ofraver life, and then only very seanty allowance.
The low estimates some of US had formed of the
rebels turned out quite correct. had an opper-
tuEity of visiting of their chiefs 7 was quite
disguised with their disreputable and di,orderly
appearance. Their pretensions to Christianity are
of the shallowest description. They are polyga-
mists, opium-smokers, and the only Bible example
they to follow is that of the Israelites in the
conquest of Canaan. The whole country has been
laid in ruins, the women are carried off, the men
pressed into service and fire and bloodshed mark
their track everywhere They seem, however, to
be on their last legs. The apathetie Imperialists
are gradually closing in upon them, aud any otler
government but the Chinese would crush the whole
thing in week. @a.y.
They asked us to sell them arms, and we had
secret applications for opium. They live on the
peasantry, whom they squeeze, and are bloodsuck-
ers who must be got rid of if we intend to establish
healthy circulation, so essential to trade. rs.
The scenery is very fine in parts, and the river
presents no great difficulties of navigation In it's
present condition I do not recommend people to
indulge in too sangune estimate of it's capabilities
for commerce Hankow and the cities above Gank-
ing the last rebel port, are recovering.
