Many of the books iiitported from the Mother’ Country, being found to be too ex- pensive, and the reprints from the neighbouring provitioea, not only irworrect, but badly printed. it was thought than sttem t to print some of them at home, might meet with success. it order to be able to sell the books at a price within the reach of the bulk of the people, a large number of each work has been printed of those books in general use. The Irish national series, imported by the Board of tuduottion as one of the cheapest sets of books that could be procured, has been taken as the basis of the series of books now reprinting.

Many persons object to an appeal to the legislature on the sub- ject of iiiierriperaiice. and they would have us rely on niornl sau- sion. “'0, ourselves, are greatly opposed to the interference of the legislature in iiititters which lie within the reach of private in- dividuals or social orgiirtizutioii; and we are advocates of niernl auasion to the fullest extent, having faith both in tho power and loveliness oftrutlt. At tlit-. saiiietiinc-, lioweve. we hold that go veriiirients may err, and that nietrtlit-is of the legislature may, in their public capacity, coriirtiit grievous sine, and that we have as much right to use lllI!I’lll suasion towards them as towards any other parties. If the are the cause, even in part. of national evils, we are bound to upprtincli them with petition and remonstrance. We further are of opinion. thiit the legislature has committed and is coiiiiiiitting a grievous sin in giving public siinction to the sale of intoxicating liquors, and by royal license pnttirig the seal of res- pectability on the makers, vendors, and drinkers of alcoholic be- verages. \Vhen, therefore, we call for legislative interference, it is that members of rlisrrient and ministers of the crown may undo the triiscliief they fiiive done, and that th withdraw the interference which is now one of the mightiest obstacles in our wit . \Vonld they tltink it right to license houses of profligncy, gsrnblin‘, theft, and tiiurder ? No, not even for a revenue ol fifteen millions of pounds sterling a year. Why then license those houses which do more to corrupt, to madden, to pauperize, and to slay the peo- ple t|i.in all other places ofvice and infamy put together I Let the

'arliuinent, the government, and tho ueen, corisider what they do when they give the sanction of the State to houses of tippling ! If the prayers ofthe Clturch of England are not to be accounted a mere mockery, they hold up it very different stitndard of con- duct frotn that which is now pursued by our rulers. (Inc ofthe prayers for the Queen contains the ftilloiviiig petition : “ that in all her thoughts, words, and works, she in iy ever seek thy honour and glory, and study to preserve tliy people committed to her charge. in wealth. peace and godliness."

Now there is nothing iriore opposed to God's honour and glory than the drunkenness, swearing, blaspheiiiy and vice which are daily witnessed in tho giii—i:il:ices and beer-shops, open by royal license in every street; and so far from preserving the people in weaIth,pertcs and gotllirius, those licensed liouses. are be and any thing else, the cause of poverty, discord, rind iiifidelity. Vitli respect to Her Majesty's council and all that are put in au- thority under her. the prayer of the Church is, that they may so ntttke the laws and so iidtninister justice, as to bring about the pn- nisirient of wickedness and vice, and the Illllllllet-l.|IICf.! of true reli- gion and virtue; whereas, by the public sanction which these ud- visera of the crown and nnigistrates give to giii-palaces and beer shops, they. more than any other class, create and encourage wick- edness and vice, ntid in thousands of instances. they destroy all true religion and Virtue. 'I‘lie prayer of tlte Church and the license of the State do not agree. Either let the license be withdrawn or the prawer left out, as offensive hypocrisy in the night of God. For whtit good end does the goveriimeiit grunt its license to titan who livari by using every rritenns in his power to induce men to drink intoxicating drinks.’ Undoubtedly fur the sake of the revenue! For this purpose, even in our colonies where the natives had not learned the vice of drunkenness, our government ‘has introduced the liquor shop, and has derived large revenue therefrom. But in obtainin this revenue by the introduction of inioxicitting drinks among t e le, do they consider the other results which follow I Sooner or later these results will shew them that by destroying the health, morals, property, and wealth-producing power oftlie people for the sake of revenue, they have adopted a polic as foolish as it is wicked and cruel. 'l‘he landlord ofths public ones and beer shop is licensed in order that he may bring money to the State treasury; but experience has shewn. that many other purposes are accomplished by that license. He is, in fact,

' Licensed to make the strong man weak, Lice to lay a wise man low;

Licensed a wife's fond heart to break, And make her children's tears to flow 2

Licensed to do his neighbour harm, Licensed to kindle hate and strife;

Licensed to nerve the robber's arm, Licensed to whet the murderer's knife I

Licensed where peace and quiet dwell, To bring disease and wtrnt and woe; iceiied to make this world a hell, And fit uiau fey a hell below !'

Can it be possible that our governnieat has deliberately established a system of taxation so crne an yet so unwise.’ do not charge them with introducing it into the country, but we chair a thurii with deliberately continuing it for the sake of revenue, ti — though the 'udgee of the land ascribe to these intoxicating drinks alriirwt all t crime, medical men almost all the sickness and iii- sanity, poor-law guardians altnost all pauperisrri. and ministers of religion the chief impediment in their way. That governments are aware ofthis may be seen frotit the occasional roteet they have made against intern ,riince. In England, the ‘ovr-rninent has granted a pension to 'ather Matthew for his efforts to ornote 'l‘ota Abstinence: and Lord John Russell has publicly eolarod that no cause is morelikely to elevate the people of this country, whether as regards igitrn, political itnportance. or literary and rnoralcirltivatiori, than this great question of 'I‘am ran . In Sweden. another country addicted to drunkenness. the ing and Queen have joined the 'I‘ernperariee Societ , and set to their people the example of 'l‘otul Abstinence. In the llniied States, a country that was at one time more in danger from intoxicating drinks than our own. seven usideuts. adieos. Adams. Jackson.

If our rulers would clear themselves of this wickedness in high places, let them forthwith withdraw their license from public houses and beer shops.

A SHORT CHAPTER ON ARTS AND IIANUFACTUBES.

The true riches of it nation are the products of the soil, and th° labour of the people: the former is the natural, the latter tlte ac- quired ‘health ofa nation.

'l‘he foundation of national property is agriculture, or the art of cultivating land so as to render it as fruitful as possible, and it iii the parent of all other arts. and the source of the natural riches of any nation.

N est in the scale of national importance are the useful arts and manufactures, by which the acquired riches of a state are aug- mented by the most profitable exertion of the labour of the people.

The cultivation of the liberal and polite arts contributes to the prosperity ofa nation. because they enlighten and embellish socie- ty, and are sometimes carried to such erfection, as to contribute to the relative riches of nations; but t eir usefulness cannot hear cornptirison with the mechanic arts, though their professors are ge- aerally held in bi her eetiriiation.

Agriculture iat e iriost essential to a nation because, independent of its being absolutely necessary to the subsistence of any ople, the trade that issues from it is more certain and more pro table : it increases population, and thus augtiieiits the relative riches ofa nation

It is the meet certain, because the sale of absolute necessaries must be much more certiiin than that of superfluities.

It is the most rolitalile because, by a judicious system of has- bandry, the prodhce ofthe earth may be increased to an uliriost indefinite extent; and because the sale of that produce is almost al- walya certain, and the returns itnme iate. _

griculture deserves the attention of a wise legislature. in ‘the hi hest degree; for, however flourishing the commerce may. it is constantly liable to serious check, and even to total destruction; but a nation can never be reduced to the extremity of distress while due attention is id to this most important art.

A neglect of agriculture injures other branches of industry. For when from a scarcity of the nucesaurice of life, they become door. the price of labour in our msnufactories, must be raised in propor- tion. This of cou~'se enhances the price of manufactured goods, and affords foreign nations an opportunity of underselliug us in the market.

The nest principle «is which an extensive eoinmerce depends is, the establishment and support of manufactures. 'l‘hus, in the early stages of societ , the real wants of mankind were confined to bare subsistence,—t us roots, fruits, water, milk, fowl, and fish, pre- pared in the most simple rii'ariuer, served for food;,the skins or fur of anitnuls for clothing; and a few rude instruments to fit these for their several uses. Ilut as society enlarged and grew ntore refined, irtinginary wants multiplied upon therti; and notions of property be- ginning to be entertained. those who had none endeavoured to ob- tain it share, by exerting their ingenuity in administering to the lux- uries of those w to had.

The first advantages of mitnufiicturing are innny.-—I"irst, it ma- nufacturing nation will procure, from its own immediate torruories, more of the natural products of the soil, than one that has no manu- actures.

Secondly, the art of giving new form to. and improving those natural products, will furnish increase of i.-inploymeut, and thus an- courage population.

Thirdly, many of the works of art, being sought for by other nations, will he the means of bringing great wealth to the manu- fucturcrs, either in foreign products or money.

I-‘orihly, this increase of wealth and population will render a mo- nufncturing nation stronger, and more capable of defending. itself against its eneiriiea-—crLteri'r p:irt'bu.r—otlier tliingii being equal— than another that has no nianufacturies.

It is essential to the esialilisltinent of a manufnctory, that ifon diligent enquiry it reasonable expectation ofsucct-.ss may be enter- tained. an adviintiigeous situation lur its establistliinent must first be obtained. the defects irtuet be remedied as much as possible by

Generally speaking, a situation is advantageous for its proximity to navigable rivers or canitls—a neiglibnnring population sutlicient to afford hands on reasonable terms—:t facility of procuring provi- sion and fuel—und II salubrious air, by which the hetilili ofthe per- sons employed may not suffer.

For the success of a maiiufactory, it is necessary that all goods be made of the best material that their qualities requires, firiished in the best possible manner; that the internal management should be regulated with the utmost cxactitude, all confusion, riot and waste being diligently prevented by those whose duty it is to super- intend the concern. 0 re y on econoinizing cost an judicious sale. —Uru't¢d Slates Economist.

Gas: TILIICOPI.-A gigantic telescope, destined to eclipse that of Lord Rouse. is one of the latest scisnti c and me- cliunical marvels. It is now in course of construction, and near completion, in Wnndsworth Coinrrion, within a short o London, I-England. It consists ofa monster tube. 80 feet long. Willi Object glaseos of 24 inches in diameter, which tube is to be atlixed to tower 64 feet high. and is capable, by means of II short circular iron railroad, of being turned to any part of the heavens. According to the description given, it will be by far the largest te pe ever made, or even dreamed of. for looking directly at an object—iti this respect differing from Lord Rosse‘s, which is a reflecting te- lescope. Its were have been already tried on the ritual distant groups of stars and found to be prodigious, and ma be expected to help us to a further insight into the nature o the heavenly bodies. On this last subject, by the way, some pretty decided conclusions are advanced in an interesting article by Dr. George Wilson, entitled ‘ The Chemistry of the Stars,’ in the Edinburgh Racine, and lately separately published by the Messrs. Loiigrnan. In that article the worthy Doctor urges sundry reas6ns—baised on our observation and knowledge of the planets. and also on the composition ofthe meteoric stories now be" ed to have formed

art of the stars. and which have fallen upon our esrth—for doubt- irig whether any thing resembling or organic or terrestrial life exists, upon lht: stellar globes. This unquestionably obehee with the polar and DUI pleasing notion of their being vast theatres of life, under div ' nditious, perhaps. but on the whole bearings general resemblance to our own; and certainly, if the monster te- lescope is only to reveal to us unnumbered sterile and uninlnbitnilg spheres, nrere human interest in them is wonderfully lessened, even though humanity itself may seem to be exalted.
