We oc- cordin ly started on the 4th instant, and rode to Kos udiy, a distance of 48 miles.

MAINE LAW .IN ENGLAND. _The Edinburgh Scottish Press, of April 25, gives a long account of a great Maine Law

from one of their reoonnsisaanoes in the direc- tion of Kara-sn. A wild iookin not they were, with their swnrthy handsome seen and dark

We turns our horses‘ heads and ined this oor a, one of the oficers of whic told us that t ey had had a brush with the Russians, in which they killed four of the euem and took one prisoner. He also stated that they had been 24 hours in the saddle. but in spite of this, instead of s rin their horses and husbanding their nlrea y ex ousted pow- ers, every now and then some few of them set off at full speed brandishing their arms and lances, and yelling like maniacs. During the short time we were with them we had an o r- tunity of witnessing the effects of this on t eir cattle by seeing two of their gallant little horses drop down dead from sheer exhaustion. Night was now fast spproaching,and the whole regiment set off at a smart cztnter, leaving us who were more careful of our beasts, seeing they were our own pray "arty (is circumstance which makes a. mighty difliarence in such cases,) to get on its best we could. As we followed we saw their cam fires burning at is considerable distance, but ing occasionally obscured by the unevenness of the intervcnin ground, we began to think that we were mistaken, and that the lights we saw were will-o‘-the-wisps. llitving come to this conclusion, we agreed on tugging our jndod horses after us for live mi- nutes lon r and bivouacin for the night by the roadside, although it drizzling rain was falling.

After halt- ing here it day, we left, accompanied by is small escort of our friends the ashi-Bazou provided by Mehemet Pitclm, with the intent on of falling in with, if possible, it reconnoitrnng party, which he told us we might pcrlin s find starting from Bairamdere.

The burning of the villages was not, however, the work of no enemy, but of Mustaphn Pacbn in his retreat from the Dob- I rudschn, and also of those practical jokers, the i Baslii-Bttzouks.

meeting, held in that city the evening before, at the Musical Hall the platform was occupied by many clergyman and other gentlcuien.—Amoitg the speakers were Rev. Mr. Cam bell, Rev. Dr. Richie, Rev. William Reid, Chares Cowsn, M. P., Rev. M. Wallace, Dr. Menzies and Dr. Mur- ray, and Dr. Guthrie. The meeting was unani- mous and enthusiastic for n " Maine Law for England.”

'l'he speeches of these gentlemen are all re- ported at length. Among other things in Dr. Guthrie’: long and eloquent speech, he said, “ He saw. the turtninus ofa terlotal agitation, but how far it was distant, he could not ssy— he referred to.the Maine Law. (Loud Applause.) Let the country be thoroughly indocirlnatsd upon the ad- vantages of law: let the light be shed over every district oftlie country as to the evils ofdrtinkenncaa, let all the benefits of that law, its found in the ex- perience of the people of America, be known to the people ; bring the people in a right feeling on the subject, and they would bring Mr. Cowsn and all his neighbors in the House of Commons right. (Great applause.) Let them not go to Parliament till they had brought the people to a right pitch of feeling and thought on the subject. As to the ' w, he might mention, that at a party consisting of noblemcn and gentlemen, which he attended not long ago in London, Lord Elgin, Governor General of Canada. said there was no- thing he was watching in America with so much interest, as the working of that Maine Law.

The conversation had turned upon the history, the growth, success of total abstinence societies in our coonlrv. and the good which they had achieved." This led to the remark from Lord Elgin to the etfect already mentioned.—" 5;. licve," he said " that it is destined to work a very Ere-‘II change on the face of society; I wish the causeibe utmost success. They have adopted it in New Brunswick, and l sin watching its ope- ration with more interest than that of any cause now under the sun. ' A entlemuii who was there, said, “ 0, but is that Maine Law just, Lord Elginl A merchant can have his barrel of whis- key, a gentleman his pipe of wins, and can enjoy themselves, while the poor man, who could only get his honor at the public house is denied the opportunity. la that not unjust!” Lord Elgin had a very good answer for this, and with that he. (Dr. Guthrie) would cloae: “ the cor man," said he, " is the best judge of that, and the law in Maine and our Province of cw runswick, was passed by the votes of the laboring men themselves. " (Loud applause.)
