IIppLi7aO in ENGLAND.

The London Lancet has raised its voice of
warning against the increasing use of liquor
The warning equally applies to u.s. EVERY
thing in modern customs tends that way-the
large wine-gass in use at all dinner tables the
introduction of amiabe alcoholic drinks; the
fashion of giving claret or mosee cup as an ad
junct to the five O'Clock tea-table, and at. the
Bullets of evening parties, where girls, heated
with dancing, or fevered with then constant
round of excitement, may be seen swallowing
glass after glass of these tempting and fallacous
ly cool beverages in place of the lemonade and
syrups which formerly sufficed for their refresh
ment But has the faculty, as it is called, moth
ing to answer for in promoting the present state
of things? Children are now given, "by the
DOCTORS ORDERS" an amount of alchohol which
would have Mortified their grandmothers The
beer and port wine administered two or three
times day at first disgusts, but soon becomes
grateful to them.
"Almost every one of US may plead medical
advice as the beginning of the habit. They say
the modern type of disease is low; that stimu-
lants are requisite; and that whether they pre-
scribe chloric ether or champagne does not much
signify Perhaps not in the physical point of
view, but in the moral one. Surely the tempta-
ton to the abuse of such stimulants as lavender,
ether, &C., is not so great or so constantly re-
curing as that of wine and liquors, which are
offered and pressed upon US wherever we co.
Brandy now takes the place Of salvolatile in the
adys dressing-case; and the properties of gin,
as cleansing agent, applicable to everything
from the gilt stopper of a scent bottle to a lace
founce, are firmly impressed on the mind of the
waiting maid We would never speak but with
respect of the noble profession of healing, but it
cannot be denied that the peculiar temptation
assailing some of its more fashionable members
is that of following rather than leading the in
clinations Of their patients"

SUSPENSION BRIDGE.

We are at the new Suspension Bridge. 1t
spans the river between the Clifton House on
the Canada side, at a point a short distance
below the American Falls on the American
side. 1t is supported upon towers one hundred
feet high, with quadrilated base of twenty
eight feet, converging to four feet at the top.
Twelve hundred and forty feet in length, ele-
waited one hundred and ninety feet above the
water, which is two hundred and fifty feet
deep, suspended by seven wire ropes composed
of seven strands each, each of these embracing
one hundred and thirty-three No. 9 wires,
making nine hundred and thirty wires in
all, the united strength of the ropes being equal
to one thousand six hundred and eighty tons,
ats weight being two hundred and fifty tons,
costing 100000, opened for travel on January
4th, 1869, yielding a daily average income
during the season of 5000, supporting the pas
sage of three thousand people without percep-
tible effect, this bridge is wonder of skill and
mechanical enterprise, symmetrical, graceful,
exciting the wonder and admiration of the be-
holder.

ADVENTURES Patriot Frenchnen and Amer
leans devoted to the French cause are preparing
for doing their best for the cause OF French Re-
pubicanism. Their ardor is doubtless no less
enthusiastic here than there, though they do not
have the same motive or liberty 10 give exulta-
ton TO their feelings upon the subject. Presi-
dent Grant in his proclamation of neutrality put
u veto upon any open action of any one upon
this subject and Prussian alike -
Notwithstanding the voice Of the Executive has
been heard upon the subject, yet some of those,
whose devotion gets rather the better of them,
have acted in such a way as TO get themselves
taken in charge.
On The Goth instant, over one hundred volun-
teers for the French army were arrested as they
were on the point of leaving New York city in
the steamer Lafayette for the seat ofwar in France.
They were afterwards discharged, it is reported,
but the ship sailed with Eve hundred recruits on
board for the French army Bismarck will cool
their ardor, if they are not careful
Z1J- Census return from Prussia show that
Professionalism is on the gain in that country
During the last nine ears the Roman Catholics
of Pomerania and the Saxon provinces has
positively decreased, end there is not single
district in which their increase is proportionate
to the growth of the population.

PORES TRoUBLEs.-The unthroning of Louis
Napolean by Bismarck's tactics and diplomacy
has borne its fruit already When Napolean
proclaimed war against Prussia, be was COM
PEELED to withdraw his troops from Rome. Then
the "Infalble' One was left without protection
An army from Naples was thrown into Rome
under the nose Of His Holiness.
Since King William has captured his prize,
since His Arrogance has laid his sword at the
feet of King William because he could not die at
the head of his Army" Italian liberty has as
serted itself Gen. Cadorna, at tue head of the
Italian forces that are striking for Republic,
has addressed proclamation to the Roman peo-
pie Much excitement and enthusiasm pervade
the ranks of the people. The Pope's forces re-
fuse TO fight the liberaists. The railways lead
ing to Rome are in the hands of the Italians, and
have been cut by tho retreating forces. In
number OF localities the Papal troops have been
surrounded by the people and threatened with
attack, but order was restored when the people
were appealed to in the name of the King OF Italy
A PIebiscitum is to be taken which leaves the
decision of the question Of having either the
King Or the Pope for civil ruler to the people,
whose decision is TO be binding on both. Naples
urges that Rome be made the capital Of the ma
ton. The Pope is ''Tnfalble." Why does his
voice not still the troubled political waters?
