chance of obtaining a transfer. Mr Edger had said more shame that we could get land for rum. But the question was a commercial, and not a moral one, and certainly we sained in a commercial transaction where we purchased a Mock of land from rum. But the question was a'commercial. and not a moral, one, and cei tainly we gained in a commercial transaction where we fur-chased a block of land worth £100 for a bott eof rum and .610. Mr Cooper then sataownamitlstloudSapplause. Mr E Ca-r (Total Abstinence Society) was the last speaker on ttie affirmative side of the ouestion He was greatly surprised at Mr Ewingfon, who from want of thought or a'case, appeared to him to go entirely away from the tion at issue. JHe evidently considered that the Government, was the Colony, and. this wa3 not the case. (Applause). He referred in com plimentary terms to the speech of Mr W. J Napier on the previous evening. Mr Napier Spoke with a degree ofoloquenoeandfeelingthat muschave pleased theaudience.asithad certainly pleased him. But the tremor in his manner he conhidei'ad did nor, arise from more nervous ness, but from a kno%viedge of the perilous course wMch he was pursuing. He made the oulv point with which St. Jmues' side could be credited, when ho said that people living out of the colony bought the liquor from us, and gave us valuable merchandise in return. Now, it that were trae, how much did England make one of us on the same principle. All t.he people v.-ho hu'l bertn.l.roueht to this colony were of ■mar.ey va'uc to the Government, and therefore whether tlieir deaths were caused b* shooting, liano-iuif, or poisoning with intoxicating drink, it --vvs still a 'ess t,i> the country. He quoted from n ' eport I y the clergymen of the diocese of Co'ito-bnry t-.> show that a great deal of the tiV.Vevty aiid luorUlity in theXntzlishnation was da«< to t'io usa '< nit >xicatinur drink. He also sad f iin.r, twelve Presidents of the United states, including «or-ham Lincoln, had signed a document tn the effect that their country would have been much more prosperous had it not been for the n-e of intoxicating drink. Mr Carr concluied his speech, amidst loud applause, by stating that nnalysia in England had shewed that the same amount ox sustenance was derive. 1, from plain food that cost 31d, as from beer that cost 7s. jVlr v- illiam Cooper, St. James, replied. Coming after such a great man as Mr Carr, he cm.ld fa. 1 timiu were it not that truth was on his wde. (Laughter and applause). He re ferred to the question of the challenge, and said that Mr Cherry had made the matter worse by lii» explanation. In his hand ha held the letter containing the challenge, and the question which the Total Abstinence Society had ottered to ciis-us* was "Does a nation win or lose by the sale of intoxicatiDg liquors." The Total Abstiucnoe society Tery kindly offered to take the iiwntivo side of the question. Bthus m reality in their innocence, undertaking!' prove that the nation neither w;;n nor lost by the tramc. St. James' Class, however, did not take advan tage of their remarkable offer, but sent back an answer expressing their willingness to discuss the question in irs present form. St.. James Class awked no quarter, and would give none. Ho considered that to assert that theJcolony was a lo?er pecuniarily from the sale of intoxicating liquor was an insult to the com mercia ticuteness of its merchant?, and to sup nose that the Government were either too blind t > see it or so far regardless of the interest of toe country as not xo attempt to abolish, was nothin!? ► h ort of prliticn.l blasphemy. He quoted the opinion of Samuel Baker, the African explore, to show that whisky was the means of relieving him from an attack of fever and ague wbilftri n the interior of that country. He proved that Mr Kdger's estimate of the number of popu lation was le?s than it should have been. Mr Edgar had also instanced a case in England where an ire works employed 43,000 men, women, and children, for the manufacture of goods worth £1,500,000, and had also referred to a dist llery which produced drink valued at the same amount, but which gave employment to orily 150 men. Now this argument was one of the most fallacious which had been employed inasmuch as the distilleries must have something to distill. Therefore, as a matter of courße, they give employment to thousands of men, women, andl children in the cultivation of barley and hops. Then again, they used a large amount of sugar in the business, and this had to be culti vated by paid labour. The speaker referred an caustic terms to the arguments of Mr Brame. He said that gentleman, like a dogmatic parson, enforced his arguments by apostolic Wows and knocks on the table, but they were appreciated by no one but the (able. Mr Brame reminded him very much of an old hen cackling over her eggs, as [much as to say—See what, fine eggs I have got here. Now, Mr Brame's arguments were like those eggs. You take one up, and certainly agree with the'iben in reference to its size and excellent proportions. But break that ess, anrt you find that it is rotten. Thus it was with Mr Brame'a arguments (laughter and applause). The speaker said that in America drink had been to a great extent banished, but its place had been supplied by a much more baneful and pernicious custom, viz., that of opium-eating. Mr Cooper concluded his speech amidst tremendous applause. Messrs Ewington and Edger then replied. The Chairman said the speakers were anxious that votes should, not t>e taken on the question. His owu opiinon was that the colony was a loser by the accursed traffic. , Rev P. Mason, President of the Total Absti nence Society, moved, and Mr W. Gorrie, Vice- President of St. Jamea' Association, Beconded, a vote of tha- ks to the speakers, which was carried unanimously. A vote of thaDks to the Chairman, moved by Rev S. Edger, and seconded by Mr F. G. Ewing toa. concluded the meeting. We regret tbat the Temperance people were unable to select from their rankß a civil door keeper, for, however good the gentleman who filled tbat position last evening may be as a painter, he certainly lacks that degree of polite ness which is requisite in a door-keeper. How ever, strnnely he may be actuated in the right by his coldwater principles, there is certainly do reason why, wheu i laced in brief authority, he should not be civil and courteous to the repre sentatives of the Press. These remarks do not apply to the doorkeeper appointed by St. James Association.

Report on a Sample of Imperial Schiedam Sen napps, received from Mr. H. J. Hart. We have suelected a sample of the above named article to a very caref til chemical analysis and examination. The results of the analysis, which are set forth in a separate report, show that this spirit is of good strength, practically fre« from acidity, and that it contains bnt trace*? of solid matter in solution. It possesses a delicate and agreeable aroma, and a pure and mild taste. Mr. Hart's Schiedam Schnapps is a very superior article of its class, is well pnriGed, and quite Kenuine. (Signed.) Aetkcr H.

Dear Sir,—l h«d fsufifer^d-feavereiy »nd most acutely from Rheumatism for many years, brought on, I balisro, from exposure to all weathers in the exorcise of my calling. For years I could not sleep at ni«ht, and wa-- unable to lie except in ou« poeitioa. Day and night I was full of excruciating pains, scarcely able to more about at all, ana as a natural se-querce, my general health ~»b also materially iniured. I believe I suffered the pans* of Rheumatism, and its attendant evils, in every shape and form, and my life was almost a burden to me I tried every remedy I could hear of, but without ob taining any reliwt whatever. The sum I Bpent in medicine and medical advice was very con siderable, but of no avail, until I invested in a bottle of your Blood Restorer. . I confess that I was not hopeful at all when I pur chased your medicine, I had tried so many specifics without receiving the slighest benefit, but having determined to give it a fair trial, I carried out my intention. 1 adhered, strictly to the directions, and the result is that I am changed from a mere wreck to my former self again—restored to health ond vigour, and able to drive daily through all weathers, and at all hours, if occasion requires. I am sure you have never had a worse case to deal with than mine, and although even now, in bad weather, I feel my limbs rather stiff, after sitting on the box for a leng time, I am a living example of the almost miraculous curative properties (under Providence) of your now celebrated Blood Restorer. My friends tell me it is a duty I owe to my fellow creatures to send you this acknowledgement, and if it is the means of persuading other sufferers to go and do likewise, I shall feel that this letter is not written in vain. I have the more pleasure in giving this testimonial as it ig quite un solicited on your part. You are at liberty, of course, to make any use of this.—l am, sir, yours gratefully, Henry Maiden. To H.
