throughout England, 135,00i convictions,
primarily due to drunkenness. In popula-
ton of 90, 7l2 900, this were equivalent to 81
convictions in every 10000 inhabitants. In
all ireland during the same period, there
were 1884 convictions arising from drunk
enness, which, in population OF 5,lO2,OOO is
in the ratio of l47 convictions for every l0,-
900 persons. From which it would appear
that Irishmen, if not more addicted to liquor
than Englishmen, are, at least, more than
twice as likely to become drunk and quarrel
some enough to get locked up. Coming
down to the returns of certain large cities,
which alone it would be fare to place against
those of New York, we find the following
facts In selected portion, and that one of the
worse PARTON of the City of Iondon, contain
convictions for the year amounted TO
%, 395, being in a ratio of 2Gl per 10000
inhabitants. Liverpool makes a still worse
showing; for the great English sea.
port, with a population of $4,000, had
l6,2l3 convictions for the year, being pro-
portion of 329 for every 10000 inhabitants
| Crossing the fresh Channel to Cork, mat
tiers become worse still, for here with pop
uation of only $4,000, there were 2,9s2
convictions due to drunkenness, being equal
to 3S2 per 5000. Dublin is ahead OF Cork,
however, for in a population of $4,000, the
Irish capital had l4,02i convictions for the
year, or 4l6 per 10000 persons.
Keeping in view this ascending scale OF
figures, turn to the New York tables. Here
we find IL at for the year last recorded there
were 60, lSj arrests made on the ground OF
intoxication and disorderly conduct. On the
enumeration Of last census this is equal to G's
arrests for every 10000 inhabitants, being
I42 per cent above the the ratio of the worse
part of the English Metropolitan District; 95
per cent. above that of Liverpool O. per cent
worse than Cork, and So per cent ahead OF
Dublin IT, as generally supposed, the eX-
cessiye intemperanee Of New York arises
from the very large proportion OF Irish immi-
grafton which it receives, it would appear
either that the Irishman drinks more whiskey
here than at home. or that its quality and
other conditions combine to make him more
combative under its influence. Depressing
as is the lesson Of these tables, there Is some
consolation, it consolation it can be called,
in the discovery that Ireland contains one
place more drunken or more prone to get
drunk and disorderly than New \ ork. This
unenyiable distinction is reserved for the his
torical Protestant stronghold of Londonderry,
in which the boys are so much addicted to
getting drunk in honor of the great siege, and
to fighting in that inebriated condition the
battle of the supremacy over again, that its
total convictions reach the appalling ratio OF
!, ZAP per 10000 persons. Londonderry is,
therefore, as much ahead of New Iork IN the
matter of convictions, due to drunkenness,
as New York is ahead of Cork 1t is to be
feared that good deal of our immigration
comes from Derry.
