The Evening Star. MONDAY, AUGUST 8, 1870.

Although it would seem that the friends of total abstinence have gone to sleep again in this part of the world, it is not so in the colony of New South Wales. A deputation has waited on, and been favor ably received by, the Colonial Secretary and Premier, on the subject of a " Per missive Bill," about being submitted ti the Parliament of that colony ; and from the names of the gentlemen constituting the deputation, it is evident that the movement has taken a standing, and that it is guided by able hands. A formidable phalanx of clergymen and leading laymen l'epresented the " Council of tlie New {• otith Wales Political Association for the Suppression of Intemperance." The' arguments were forcibly and well put every point was conceded by the Premier, who seems, like our own Premier, to have a predilection for cold water, and the cause has found an advocate, though with some preliminary hesitation, in no less an organ than the Sydney Morning Herald. It is evident that the Permissive Bill will not for very long afford to be sneered at; and, judging from indications, its advo cacy will presently be absolutely respect able. In any case it has found strong backing in the sister colony, and an attempt will be made, and vigourously made, to effect (he required legislation, so that the majority in a district can prevent the re tail of intoxicating drinks. If we are to take the Sydney Morning Herald as an index to public feeling, there seems a possibility of success attending the re strictive measure, for the leading journal says, "Many, like ourse]ve3, are disposed " to try it, since our laws are not like the "laws of the Medes and Persians, and " certainly there is no danger in carrying *' the change in practice to a moderate

"extent."

That there is a stong and growing feel ing against the horrible incubus of drunk enness, under which society is groaning, is evident. In every one of the colonies, in England itself, there is an impatience with the slavery of drinking habits, and the physical and moral wrongs which they inflict on society. There are few who, if they spoke honestly, would not say that if the whole race of intoxicants were swept off the face of the earth, we should be all the better, physically, mentally, and morally ; that the whole people would be happier and wealthier individually and collectively. Everyone knows this, and we believe all good men would wish it could be effected. Drunkenness has caused more blighted hopes and broken hearts, more domestic misery and scattered homes, more broken fortunes and ruined virtue, than all other indulgences to which civilized men have a tendency ; and if ever the enemy of man selected anything to be his special minister for human wretchedness, it must have been in the form of alcoholic spirit. Let it take possession of woman, and it is noto rious that she is lost to virtue and to honor; let man become its slave, and he is at once distrusted, and is left to himself to sink lower and lower in the slough ; while in the young man entering on the struggle of life, intemperance is noted as the stamp of doom, legible on his brow. And worst of all is the fact that as social customs now exist there is not a parent that can look into the face of his child, and think, without the future being full of fears. There is no certainty but that girl so fair, artless, confiding, loving, that seems tenderness and purity personified, may become the loathsome prostitute; or that boy, to whose noble future he would look with a father's pride, may, out-cast aud dishonoured, bring down his grey hairs with sorrow to the grave. To nothing else in all the consti tution of society are such results so gene rally owing as to the drinking habits of the people: andthe philanthropist orstatesman who could deliver a people from this ty ranny of custom should have his name embalmed in t "erlasting remembrance. There are those who hold that no legisla lation would suppress drunkenness, and there are those who believe that nothing but stringent legislation will prevent it. We believe that truth and wisdom lie

between ; thct there must be an educated public feeling as to the tyranny of alcohol, —and that is coming; but never without

legislation will the deadly habit be eradicated. Much is said against and for the "Main) Liquor Law." In another column will be found a description of its working, from the lips of one that knows ; and, however frequently evaded, in so far as open an I habitual drunkenness is concerned, it must have been beneficial to the community. But there.public feeling was on the side of prohibition ; and it is questionable if as yet in our communities public feeling would bear witli very stringent legislation on the liquor traffic. The movement in New JJjuth "Wales cannot fail to be watched with interest; and whatever may result in that colony, it is evident that very general attention is being directed to the principles of the Permissive Bill, and that public feeling is awaking to the necessity, in some way, of protection against an evil that is sapping the foundations of society.

The following motion stands in Mr. Gillies' name on the Order Paper for the 4th instant:—" That the land in the City of Auckland on which the Albert Barracks are situated, should be granted to the Superintendent of the Province of Auckland, in trust for such public pur poses as may be agreed upon between the Colonial and the Provincial Govern ments."—Mr. Gillies is to move, on the 4th instant, "That the land in the City of Auckland on which Fort Bricomart is situated, should be granted as an endow ment for the Harbour of Auckland."

The Late Eatal Accident. —A nume rous meeting of the inhabitants of Newton was held at St. David's School-room on Saturday evening, at which the Rev. B. T. Dudley presided, for the purpose of giving effect to a generally - expressed desire that some effort should be made with the view of affording relief to the widows and children of the late Daniel McGahan, who was killed by the upsetting of a cart on the Otahuhu-road last week ; and also, if necessary, to assist the family of Air. Storey, who was very seriously injured at the same time. A committee wits appointed to carry out tho resolu tions which were passed at the meeting. Mr. Edwards was requested to act as sec retary, and Mr. G-. P. Pierce as treasurer, together with Messrs. Galbraith, Lupton, Reid, Walker, and Pierce as trustees. A working committee are actively canvass ing the district, and a good sum has already been collected for this most drserving object.

At the collection made last evening at the Music Hall, Symonds-street, in aid of the Tauranga fund, the sum of £11 10s. was subscribed.

The members of the Naval Artillery proceeded to the North Shore on Satur day afternoon for the purpose of firing off the first rounds of the two forty-pounder Armstrong guns, which, during the last week, have been mounted en barbette upon the North Head. Tho party was in charge of Captain Guilding, and several rounds were very successfully fired. The band of the corps was also present and played a variety of lively tunes during the afternoon*

The steamer Luna, which cost the colony £7,000, will cost, on the authority of Air. M'Lean, a further sum of £6,968 a year to sail her.

On Saturday, in Chancery-street, prisoner was making an uproar in the street regarding a gla:S of grog taken by some person from him. I asked him what was wrong, and he struck me in the face. J. Rodgers corroborated the statement generally, and prisoner was sentenced to a fine of £5, or one month's imprisonment. DISOBEDIENCE TO ORDERS. Elijah Codling, was charged with a breach of the Merchant Shipping Act, in disobeying orders on board the Excelsior, on Saturday last. Mr. Joy for the prosecution. W. C. Kelly deposed : I am second mate on the Excelsior, defendant is boatswain. I was in charge on Saturday, and ordered the defendant to come up from among the steerage passengers. He refused at first, and coming up, struck me a back-handed blow. (Ship's log produced.) He was about five minutes before obeying me. The charge of disobe dience was dismissed. ASSAULT. This prisoner was again charged with assaulting W. C. Kelly on the same occasion. Prosecutor deposed to having been struck as above when in the execution of his duly. To prisoner ; I did not strike you first. Do not know how you came by the mark of a blow on your face.

A passenger on the Excelsior oorroboi-ted generally the previous evidence, and prisoner Tvas sentenced to two months' imprisonment, with hard labour.

W. Massie, charged with disobedience on the Excelsior on the same day, pleaded guilty, and Mr. Joy for the prosecutor, not wishing to press the charge, defendant was discharged, and ordered to be put aboard ship.

NOT CARRYING LIGHTS ON BOARD THE ENTERPRISE.

Henry Hadfield, owner of the ketch Enter prise, was charged with that, on or about the 23rd day of July, 1870, lie was guilty of a breach of the regulations for preventing col lisions at sea, issued in pursuance of the Mer chant Shipping Act, 1862, and of an Order in Council, dated 9th January, 1863, and of section 27 of the said Act, for failing to pro vide for the said vessel the necessary lights required by the said regulations. Mr. Brookfield for the prosecution, Mr. Bennett for the defence.

Mr. Brookfield made a lucid address expla natory of the law on the subject, and stated that he was instructed to press fo. a com mittal to the Supreme Court instead of sum mary proceedings. H. S. McKellar deposed : I am Collector of Customs. I produce register of the ketch Enterprise. She was a British ship, registered at Dunedin, No. 4330 ; produce also the re gulations made to prevent collisions at sea, also the Order in Council of January 9, 1863, bringing these regulations into force. The owner of the ketch is Henry Hadfield. » R. Millis deposed : I was master of the Enterprise, owned by the defendant, on July 23rd. Mr. Hadfield was then on board. We were at sea on the passage from the Bay of Islands to the Thames. The ketch yvas 27 tons, we had 39 tons of coals on board. We were sailing on that passage after dark on that night. I was carrying no lights. I had no green or red light on board. We were showing no lights at all, and came into col lision with a steamer. On coming on board at the Thames I had spoken to the owner about light?. I asked him for a globe lamp, with a guard on it. He did not get me one. We went to Por ter's for one. Mr. Hadfield told me he was the owner.

To Mr. Bennett: The ketch had been but two days in Mr. Iladfield's possession when we tried to get tho lamps. I was told that Mr. Hadfield had tried other places before Porter's.

Re-examined by Mr. Brookfield : We tried Porter's alone. There are several other iron mongers besides. Did not try for a lamp at the Bay of Isla ds. There are marine stores there. It was about half-past twelve at night when we came in collision. This closed the ease for the prosecution. Mr. Bennett addressed the Bench, depre cating the Bench being carried away by the present popular excitement regarding the Tauranga. J. S. Macfarlane deposed : I have owned small vess. is since 18-12, and never knew that small vessels were required to carry lights. Was never aware of the exis ence of the regu lations on the subject.

To Mr. Brookfield : T am a Justice of the Peace, and was so in 1869, but never saw the regulations in the Gazette. The decision of the Bench was reserved till the conclusion of the hearing of the next case.

breach of the rules of the road. R. Mi lis, late master of the ketch Enter prise, was charged with the same offence, namely, not having proper lights ; and, at the same time, was charged with a breach of the same Act, " in not keeping the said vessel on her course, when approaching the steamer Tauranga, in such a direction as to involve risk of collision."

Mr. Brookfield, in opening the case, showed that when, as in this case, a sailing vessel is meeting a steamer, she should keep her on course without deviation.

H. S. McKellar proved registry of the En terprise, as in the former case.

0. C. Clifton deposed to the facts connected with the collision, as previously published ; specially the absence of proper lights. Before the collision I saw a bright light on the port bow. Afterwards saw the red and green lights a little on the starboard bow. Believe it was the sail that prevented my seeing the three lights at once. They were about half a point on the starboard bow. If each vessel had then kept her course they would have gone clear. I had not altered our course, bu believe the steamer had altered hers, and gone rights across our bows. Could not say whether the apparent alteration in the position of the lights was caused by the alteration in the course of the steamer, or by the "yawning" of the ketch. Don't recollect seeing the red light by itself. The skipper ordered me to put my helm hard-up. The boom was on the starboard bow, and the wind aft. I put the wheel hard a-port. I am nearly positive the steamer had ported her helm. I believe we struck her on the port quarter. If we had kept our course I am positive we should have still come into collision. I don't think the ketch altered her course over a quarter of a point.

Cross-examined by Mr. Bennett: When I called out to iJillis, and before he came on deck, I had put the helm hard-up. Directly on coming up, Millis called to me to put my helm hard-up.

Mr. Bennett addressed the Bench, to show that in the existing cirsumstances the best had been done to avoid a collision.

The Bench retired to consider the verdict, and on returning delivered the following judgment:—

The Bench are of opinion that the charge against Henry Hadfield is proved, and he is fined in the penalty of £100 and full costs, or three months' imprisonment.

They are of opinion that the charge against Richard Millis, of not exhibiting lights, is also proved; and he is fined in a penalty of £10 and full costs, or one month's imprison ment.

The charge against Richard Millis, of a breach of the " rules of the road," has not been proved to the satisfaction of the Bench. The Court then rose.

THE MAINE LIQUOR LAW.

At a public meeting held in the immense Town Hall, Birmingham (last March), Mr. J. B. Gould, United States Consul, who occupied the chair, gave the following address : — "It is with unfeigned pleasure that I accept the invitation to preside this evening, for the purpose of introducing my distinguished countryman, Don. F. S. Gary. It seemed to me especially fitted that I should accept this invitation, in view of the two themes which have been united as the subject of the hon. gentleman's remarks —education and the liquor traffic. lam from the State of Maine, and it is in these two particulars that Maine leads the world. If you look upon a map of the United States, you will see that Maine stands at the head of the list, and streache3 out into the Atlantic as the right hand of the Republic, ready to exchange kindly greeting with England, and unite with her in every good cause. But it is especially in the cause of education and temperance that Maine is a leading State, for there, under the leadership of General Neal Dow, was first enacted the Maine Law, which has since been extended in its leading features to all the New England States. The question is often asked, if that law is nob a failure; and you can judge for yourself when I state certain facts with which I am perfectly familiar. Like all the laws against crime in Great Britain and other countries, there are violations of this, but it cannot be counted a failure when it is under stood that in all that State there is no open bar. There is no hotel or publichouse that sells openly to customers ; no sign with gilded letters advertising the traffic; no decanters displayed at the windows ; no brilliant lanterns before the door giving evidence that drink is to be obtained. If obtained at all, it is in the private apartment of the hotel, or through some back door of the shops. The difficulty of this secret traffic is increased, in view of the fact that it must be smuggled into the States, being seized by the police if brought by the usual modes ot* transportation. Before coming to England I had boarded for two years at one of the largest hotels in tho State, where, according to the American eu_tom, the guests all sat at a common table ; and during those two years not even ale or porter was seen upon the tables more than twice or thrice. There are drunkeness and crime there, but the one is disgraceful and but seldom seen among those who are considered respectable people, and crime is so lessened that only in a few of the largest towns is it necessary to maintain a police force. Windows arc never closed with shutters at night, and there is a feeling of general security. Pauperism is confined to the young and helpless, or the old and feeble who are friendless, with the addition of an occasional idiot. Tho last are but few, as without drunkeness but few are born in that condition. Many of the towns have no poor house or poor-tax, and the whole State does not probably average more than two to a thousand of the inhabitants who are charge able to the public. It may be considered oppressive to enact such laws, but a system which banishes the sickening scenes and the revolting crimes which are the results of drinking, which empties poorhouses, gives security to live and property without the omnipresence of police officers, is not especially objectionable in its repressiveness. In that State, as in all New England, parents would consider it as throwing away the respect ability and huppinc.s of their daughters to marry her to a wine drinker; and wine in religious families is almost never used at weddings. Respectable families very seldom use it or offer it to guests ; and I have never known a New England minister of any denomination who did not preach total abstinence. Not one in one hundred of the mm:. ters could retain their pulpits if they weie wine drinkers. With such teaching from the pulpit, and such examples in good society, there is comparatively little temptation for the young to form a taste for strong drink."

Sentimental Youth :" My dear Maria, will you share my lot for life ?" Prac tical Girl : " 1 ow many acres in your lot, Sir?" A soldier was wounded by a shell from Fort Wagner. He was going to the rear. " Wounded by a shell ?" some one asked. " Yes," he coolly answered; " I was right under the darned thing wben the bottom dropped out." The Indianopolis Journal says that delirium tremens almost approaches the dignity of an epidemic in that city.
