cure of drunkenness, by which thousands
are said to have been assisted in recover-
ing themselves. The receipt came into
notoriely through the efforts of John Vine
Hall, commander of the Great Eastern
steamship. He had fallen into such habl-
tual drunkenness, that his most earnest
efforts to reclaim himself proved u%navail-
ing. At length he sought the advice of
an eminent physician, who gave him a
prescription which he followed faithfully
for seven months, and at the end of that
time had lost all desire for liquor, al
though he had been for many years led
captive by q most debasing appetite.
The receipt, which he afterwards publish
ed, and by which so many other drunk
ards have been assisted to reform, is as
follows: SuIphate of iron, five grains
magnesia, ten grains; peppermint water,
eleven drachmS; spirit of nutmeg, one
drachm; twice a day. This preparation
acts as tonic and stimulant, aud SO par
TALLY supplies the place Of the accustom-
ed liquor, and prevents that absolute
physical and moral prostration that fol-
lows a sudden breaking off from the use
of stimulating drinks.-Scicntsfc Ameri-

THE INDIAN FAMINE.

The Daily News (Sept. 19) quotes from
Sir Arthur Cotton, the well-known Indian
engineer, certain figures which show the
astonishing productiveness of the districts
in India which have had the benefits of
irrigation. The awful famine affords a
striking illustration of this fact. At this
moment the three irrigated districts of
Tanjore, Godavery, and Kistna are not
only in plenty themselves, in the midst
of a famine-stricken country, but. they
are the grand and only sources of relief
TO the other districts. If the reven-
ues of India cannot furnish funds for the
works of irrigation, irrigation works can
make revenue for the Government of
India. All that is necessary is that Sir
John Lawrence and his advisers should
lay aside their morbid jealousy of the
British capitalist, and, ceasing to regard
him as an intruder, return to the wise
policy of Lord Canning-encouraging
associated enterprise, and placing the
, 1866-10-19

movement has manifested itself near the
equinox, and at a time when the moon
and sun have precisely this year a con-
current action.
A correspondent writes from Magny-
en-Vexin (Seine-et-O ise) TO the France =
Yesterday, Friday, the 14th of Sep
TENDER, an earthquake was felt in our
town a few minutes after five O'Clock
In the morning, and every one was
awakened by the rocking. The ~oscilIa.
ton was felt from west to east, and
lasted ten seconds"
Another writes =
"You announce in your paper that On
Friday at half-past five in the morning
the shocks of an earthquake were felt,
directed from west to east, at Saumur
and Limoges. At the same time those
shocks were felt at Versailles and Sevres.
The houses were shaken to their founda-
tlons, and a rumbIing noise was heard
amidst the blowing Of the storm, which
had ragged from the previous evening. I
was awake, and | felt the house shaken.
supposed that a heavy cart was passing
in the street, but the rattle of some por-
celaln ornaments on a marble table,
which seemed TO Htremble for nearly Two
minutes, perhaps, made me understand
the cause of the unusual uproar and
noise. Several persons in Sevres felt the
same shocks"
At Paris, says the .Moaifeur, the shock
was felt most distinctly ia the 10Th Ar
rondissement In the Rue Moli6re the
house No. 4 was so shaken that the resi-
dents were suddenly awakened out Of
sleep and fled in great alarm. At Bou-
logne and Anteuil the beds were shaken,
and glasses standing near one another on
tables aud shelves were heard ringing.
AT Creteil, Montretout, Vile d'Avray,
and Haut Sevres, similar phenomena
were observed. At Tours nearly all the
inhabitants were reused from sleep. A
correspondent there writes 10 the Pdtrie
that he was rocked in his bed like a
child in a cradle. At one Of the princi-
pal hotels of the town a cornice was
thrown down, and at one of the cafes all
the beer 10 the cellar was thickened. At
Limoges a strongly pronounced vibratory
movement from east to south was felt for
three seconds. Similar accounts are
transmitted from Rouen, Nantes, Anglers,
and Angouleme. The shock lasted about
six seconds and was accompanied by a
dull, heavy sound. The barometer fell
six millimetres.

WlG'ouI 'uteItu ptlOu, anu independent OF
the fluctuations Of the Indian revenue
BY each succeeding mail, says the
Morning Herald (Sept. 19), we have more
terrible accounts of the famine in Bengal,
and additional proof Of the neglect and
mismanagement with which it has been
met. Months ago we were told that it
was a mere passing pressure, and would
soon disappear. But, so far from this
statement being borne out, the evil has
been steadily on the increase, and has
now reached q point which has caused
CONSERVATION throughout the province.
The people are still croWd;ng into Cal
cutta from the surrounding districts, and
the number now being fed in that city by
native charity amounts to q 1000. But
hundreds die on the road in their efforts
TO escape from the starvation which has
stricken their villages, while those who
remain behind perish in even larger pro-
portions. The conduct of the Govern
ment of Madras, which has also had a
famine TO contend with, has, the Herald
contends, been the exact contrary of that
of Bengal.
The Morning Star Sept. 10Y thinks
that the blame of the horrors must
be distributed in various degrees between
the administrators of the Indian Office,
the Governor-Genera and his council,
and the Governor Of Bengal,
Sir Cecil Beadon. 1t is too early for us
in England TO decide in what proportions
this censure must be divided /; but that
there has been a shameful failure in the
first duties of Government cannot be
questioned. The more immediate res
possibility of having stupidity or selfshlv
diSregarded the misery which the scarcity
had caused until it had reached an ex-
tent TOO great to be %grappled with by
any human power must he laid to the
charge of the local government and the
Lieutenant-GOvernor of Bengal,-Ibid.
The Post makes the following shadowy
announcement :-"There is reason to be-
lieve that a marriage is not unlikely to
be arranged on the part Of the King of
the Greeks calculated to add very mate
rally to his position as q European So
vereign. It is understood, however, that
the arrangement must be dependent upon
certain conditions of a nature to promote
the position of the Greek Government in
the eyes Of the world"
In the year 1866 1,45O,238 sovereigns
were coined at the Mint. 1t is rarely
that so small an addition is made in a
year to the number of sovereigns in cir
c%ulation, more than As, 600, 900 having
been coined in the last ten years, and
more than 10000 halfsovereigns,
1884, $50. of these last having been coin
ed in 1865. There were also coined in
that year 1,56O,O4O forins, 5,619,24O shil-
lings, 1,631,520 sixpences, Ass fourpen-
ces, 1,746,8s8 threepences, 1852 silver
twopences, 1920 silver pence, s,601, 600
bronze pence, 8~,O64,000 %halfpence, and
4,659,2OO farthings. More than IS, 100000
new coins were issued from the Mint in
1865. Worn silver coin of the nominal
value of G958,96 was purchased for re-
coinage there was a loss of 9126, SOC in
recoining it. The ~halfpenny is the coin
of which the largest number has been
issued in the last ten years in that time
more than 1853, 100000 h~alfpennies have
been coined.

EXAMINATION OF DETECTIVE PRATT.
L. w. Pratt was taken before Esquire
Miller for examination, on Saturday
evening, on the charge of feloniously
entering the room of j. W. Keeber, at
81 Jefferson street, about three o'clock
last Thursday morning. Several wit,
nesses being absent, the consideration OF
the case was postponed until this morn
ing, Pratt being sent to Jail, and his
application for release on bail refused.
This morning at eleven o'clock, Esquire
Miller took his seat in the Police Court,
and after waiting for some time,
Messrs. Ed. Yerger, Sale and Cam
eron, attorneys for prisoner, de-
manded that the trial proceed. Esquire
Miller stated that witnesses we're absent ;
that he would wait for them until four
o'clock; if the attorneys liked to leave
court they might do so; it was none OF
his business. Colonel CAN'T, Attorney
for State, made few remarks, when the
witnesses arrived, and it transpired that
they had been before the Grand Jury,
who would probably return u true bill for
burglary against Pratt. The witnesses
we're being sworn when we left court and
closed our report.

Col. Beaumont received information that
a man answering the description Of Stan
sifer was boarding at house in Pinch,
when he repaired there and requested
the individual TO accompany him to the
Overton. He did so, and was soon in
the presence of Mr.. Perciyal and the lady.
The latter uttered an exclamation OF joy
full surprise and was about to embrace
Stansifer, when he repulsed her with a
semi-lunatic air A short conversation
served to remove the temporary
insanity, when he engaged in general
conversation with the lady, who proved
to be his wife, and the gentleman, who
was his brother-in.law. Last night the
happy trio left for Covington, KY, where
they reside. We learn that Stansifer is
in business at that place, had $4,000
given him by his partner to pay note,
fell into the company of gamblers, was
heeced, and then ran away to hide his
shame. He is respectfully connected
and his relations will willingly make the
amount good in hopes that the lesson he
has received may be profitable one to
him and warning to others. Such is
