VIE LIQUOIS TRAFFIC. I am not going to give your nano a dissertation on teinperanee, bat will place a few facto before tarn whioh will germ as it basis for purposes of judgment. Mr. Meer, LIONV so ably filling Ohnst's church, (Newman Hall's old church) quoting from Government returns for a year ago, stated that were the drink traffic expense of the United Kingdom spread over the *Hee population, it represented an ex. pencliture of I:8, le.s„ en(' 9d, to oath man, woman mud child, or say 017.60. It is an every clay occurrence for women of all ages to enter public housea, nttencl- ed or unattended by men, and at the bar drink their "drams." Repeatedly I have seen in fashionable Regent and Piccadilly areal*, in omnibuses, ab public gather- ings, in alleys, by -ways, market places, and at their own door steps, suckling their infants, women as Robbie Burns would eall'h "awfu fue" Travelling as did nearly every morning for a couple of months between Lincoln Inn Yields and Covent Gardens, it was fairly common to see matrouly women, with unkempt hair and dressed in the weeds of poverty and wretchedness, on the middle of the street jigging tt clrauken reel to their own ilrmiken 'noel°. Nearly every day for two menthe I passed through White - Chapel, not by the back ways, which perhaps would be unsafe, ba by tile chief thoroughfare of this unfortunate district, and 1 saw nearly every day woman with "mourning" around the eye, no doubt re- sulting from a drunken hors de combat. 13y wily of further elucidation allow mo to append an extract from the Daily . Telegraph, of jelly 23rd, of this jabilee yew! :— ',Business ab the Lambeth Polio -court yesterday was not what might be termed brisk. Strangely enough, at all the Lon• don courts there is 0 marked aiffereuce as regards the member as well as the nature of the *ages according to the day of the week. Monday and Tuesday usually provide Mil courts, and 'Weans - any is a tolerably busy bill10, but ib is seldom that on Thursday there is very mob doing. M would be difficult to ex. plain why. The iimentives as well as the temptations to crime most be much the sante all the week through. If there was a decrease M the number of drunk and disorderly cases only on that clay, it might bo, ea regards bo depraved of the lower laboring class, that as touch its can be spared of the week's onemings for pub. Bo -house proses is exhausted by Tues- day night and that Wolnesatty is, nem eerily, a comparatively sober dey. But, unhappily, there is no falling off in this direction. Sitting at Lambeth yesterday, it was Air. Statile* unenviable clay to pass judgment on thirteen ench oases, of which unie were of women." Thu next extract is from the North British Deily Midi, of Glasgow, and speaks; for itself, and I trust the "Holy Willies," which species is not quite ex• float even in Panache will peruse 11 with "Winkle" sober reflection — "In glanciug over the last published Parliamentary retorts air Scotland, whioh gives the names of owners of property licensed for the sale of intoxicating limn ors, I was surprised to Ilea the names oe the following clergymen in thee list, viz, Rove, Dr. Russet], Dunn ; James Bryce, Glasgow :• Alox.

The House of Commons appeared to the very worst advantage on July 7th. For lbs whole &Montan it was in the hands of a group of members who insisted on diecussing at great lengeh a miserable bill called the Verminous Peons Bill, with the one objeat of keeping off the die - emotion on the Women's Suffrage Bill, whioh was a later order oe the day.
