SABBsIgLEss FR~AsCE-Nothing ever 50 appalled,
me as the late triumphal entree Of the French army
into Paris On the Sabbath when the holy day was
trampled on by Emperor, army, citizens, and by al
most all the strangers who had focked into the city
by tens Of thousands TO witness the Fete. The ar
rangements cost many miIiOas-sOme say thirty
for the army entree AMI for the next days Fete
and I fear hundreds Of English and American con-
sciences were that day wickedly sacrificed TO the
childish spirit Of curiosity aud sightseeing. The
first want Of France is n Christian Sunday and
she never will rise any higher than she is, in her
morals or form OF government, till she has such a
Sunday-at least among the Professionals she contains.
How il is to be INTRODUCED I know not. II seems as
If Government and people were agreed in violating
systematically and in every other way this sacred
day, and thus preventing christianity from securing
any stable hundation.-Cor ~ Y. CouT. & Eng.
SCOTCH WHIsKEY.-The subjoine I statement from an
English paper is e. couraging to workmen in the
temperance cause The decrease in the consumption
OF spirits in Scotland for the last four years is actu-
ally $500, 112, or nearly q fifth part of the whole
previous assumption Here is n startling fact to
the professional friends Of sobriety and ASSISTANTS Of
the Forbes Mckenzie Act. The decrease - even
greater than IL appears, since the increase Of popula-
ton must be taken in account. The people Of Scot
land, under the Forbes Mckenzie Act, have scarcely
drank more than three-fourths of the quantity Of
spirits consumed under the old law. Thus not only
has the Sabbath drinking been entirely annulled,
but the drinking on the week days has also been
largely diminished. One-seventh less would allow
for the Sabbaths, but here we have actually a decrease
Of one-fourth.
The STEERING APPARATUS OF THE STEAMER GREAT

is due to Mr.. Langley, the ship builder of Deptfort.
By means of this, Capt Harrison, or the officer Of
the watch on the bridge, will be enabled to steer the
ship By n signal Indicator with as much certainty as
If he guided the wheel himself. y small Illuminated
dial, with q movable index, is fixed On the bridge in
front Of the Office of the watch and connected with
another of the same description in front of the men
At the helm Moving the index figure Of the machine
before the helm at the same time, so that not a Sec
ond IS lost in putting the helm hard up or down. In
the same manner the rudder itself is connected with
another small dial before the helmsmen, which tells
by its index that they have exactly obeyed orders,
while this again communicating with a similar ma
chine on the bridge, shows the officer of the watch
the instant his commands are executed. The move
ments Of the latter dial being, of course regulated by
those Of the rudder, the officer on duty has always
the helm as IL were, under his eye, and can detect If
the men suffer the vessel to deviate a quarter OF n
point from her course even for n second. The ap-
paratus, moreover, possesses another advantage, and
that is, that simply moving over the index finger tc
hard aport opens up two red lights on the port side,
and by turning it to stsrboard a double green one is
similarly displayed. Thus small vessels are offered
every facility for getting out of the monsters way in
her impetaOus rush over the deep
