worse than senseless practice. The

to the vitiated stimulants of commerce,

Pending the discussion, yesterday,
of bill to amend an Act to regulate
the sale of intoxicating liquors, Mr..
Beatty, of York, the Nestor of the
House. made capital point against

temperance, which he described as Tie
most universal. all-pervading and re-
morselcssly destructive evil OF the
times. From the days of Sir Matthew
Hale. who pointed out its connection
with crime, 10 the present, it has been
the source OF untold crino. wrong aud
suffering. As to the law itself, passed
only last March, and just now re-.
oeived nnd understood in the Counties,
he saw no necessity aud no adva nlage
in altering it. If was we'll enough as
it stood. The constant attentions
and amendments of laws LEAD to con
