a second will be launched there in about two
months and the keel of the third has just been
laid At Chester several other iron steamers
mot Intended for the Pacific Mail steamship

tracts have been made, so that the new indus
try seems to have been we'll established, and to

ing liquors, which was recently passed by the
British Parliament, is remarkable as being the
first legislative result of the temperance agita,

punish the adu!tcration Of liquors, or the sale
of poisonous compounds, under the name Of
liquors, and the punishment Of aggravated or
habitual drunkenness, by Imprisonment.
