the public markets. ---0-
Mr. Scanlan explained that the bill would not &C
into operation until the leases of the present far
mers of the markets would have expired, and as
the measure could not, therefore, interfere with
any vested right, he would ask for dispensatiou
OF the rules to put it upon its passage.
Mr.. Williamson suggested that the bill proposed
an important change in the market system, and he
thought should undergo the examination of com.
mittee.
On motion of Mr.. Scanlan, the bill was referred

Of idle time, some to hear the new or

Some 90 to show their bonnets. some to

Dutch CURE FOR DRvSKESSRss.-
The following cure for drunkenness is
practiced in Holland: The patient is
shut up in a room, and debarred all
communication, except with his physi-
clan. As often rs he pleascs, spirits
brandy, whisky, gin, &c.-are given
him, but mixed with two-thirds water :;
all other drinks, such as beer, coffee,
wine, &c, are mixed with one-third
brandy. The various viands, too, that
are furnished him, bread, meats, &c,
are al prepared with brandy, conse-
quentls the patient is in a state of con-
tinual intaXication. This lasts about
five days; at the end Of that time he asks
with entrcaty Cor other nourishment,
without his request being complied
with, and not until his organs absolute
~ abhor alcohol. The cureis complete,
and from that period the very smell of
spirits produces on him the effect Of an
emetic.
