United States, from which we gather, with scarcely a doubt, that LINCOLN ie ELECTED.The great States of Pennsylvania and Ohio, have evideatly gone for him, by very large majorities\u2014as well as New England, which was known to be sure for Republicanism.New York State will give LINCOLN a majority of §5,00C ¢¢ ¢ not withstanding an adverse majority of 29,900 in New York city.Indiana and Illinois, both of which were doubtful, are claimed for LINCOLN.Michigan gives LINCOLN a large majority.The doubtful States, upon which the whole question turned, were New York, Pennsylvania, Illinois and Indiana, and they have all gone for Lincoln.The Slave States are divided, so far as heard from ; Delaware, North Carolina and Georgia being for Breckenridge, and Maryland, Virginia and Kentucky for Bell.Missouri has gone for Douglas.News by Telegraph.THE PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION.PHILADELPHIA, Nov.6th\u2014Election progressing quietly.There will evidently be a small vote.The Bell men were voting on

It is an unhappy distinction that this particular branch of trade is distinguished of late, above all others, and in contrast with all others, as peculiarly prone to make its votaries forget the man in the trader, and to hesitate at no sacrifice of manly or moral scruple that interferes with the sale of merchandise.There seems to be nothing so small that a jobber will not stoop to it, no cause so great that he will not attempt to prostitute it, so that his bales and boxes, his bundles and packages, may attract customers and command a preference over his neigh- or\u2019s.: A little incident illustrating this base proclivity to surrender everything else, so that dollars and cents may be gained\u2014not that we have not had enough of such instances of late\u2014has just come to our know- ledge.A few mornings since, a Southern customer entered the store of & dry-goods house in this city, and observed, seated near the door, a colored porter reading.The sight of a colored man in any place of trust was doubtless aggravating; a colored man reading was absolutely exasperating ; but when, on: looking over the porter\u2019s shoulder, he found the book: on which he was so intent was the Bible, his rage - was almost too great for utterance.He stalked up the store, and accosted the proprietors.¢¢ Was that,\u2019 he inquired, pointing to the reader, \u2018the way the permitted the accursed niggers to employ themselves?\" To read was bad enough, but to read the Bible! That was a book, he swore, that had ¢ got to ¢ go up\u2019 when niggers come to read it.\u201d \u2018And now,\u201d he continued, with another oath, *\u2018 you've got to stop it, or I stop my buying.I take no goods of any house that has their accursed niggers about, reading the Bible !\"?Our reputation for veracity is such that we expect to be-believed thus far in repeating this story, but we are by no means confident.that the sequel will not be pronouncad utterly incredible.The jobbers, when thus appealed to, did not, as the reader confi- dentily expects to hear, take the miscreant by the nape of the neck and kick him into the gutter; nor did they lock the doors to prevent intrusion, and call upon the porter to make a practical application of at least one text of the book he had been reading \u2014¢ he shall be beaten with many \u2018 stripes\u2019 \u2019\u2019 ; while they stood by to aid, if necessary, in enforcing the application in the most thorough manner.Incredible as it may seem, we assert on the best authority, that nothing of this sort was done; but, on the contrary, the jobbing caitiff hastened to order the porter to put up the Word of God, by the study of which, in the intervals of his leisure, he hoped, notwithstanding his complexion, to win his way to Heaven ; and then\u2014still upright upon two legs, and not prone upon his belly\u2014he hastened to display his goods, aud to urge their merits upon the pacified customer.And we are happy to say the goods were bought.They were bought, we are glad to say, because the act would have been as incomplete without the expected bill of Pry Goods to crown it, as the treachery of Judas would have failed of its awful sublimity of wickedness had his hand not clutched the price of the life of his Great Master.Uuhappy Judas! who was born eighteen centuries too soon! Had he lived in our more fortunate time, he could have been a Dry Goods jobber, and qualified for membership in a Fusion Committee, without a suggestion of the propriety of hanging himself ever troubling his tranquility for a moment.\u2014 Woolmer's Exeter and Plymouth Gazelte says: \u2014\u201c It has been said that the late Sir George Simpson was a physician in early life.This is incorrect.He was a clerk at a sugar-baker\u2019s in London.He is said to have died worth $250,000.\u201d Her MAJESTY AGAIN IN DaNGER.\u2014On the 17th, on the arrival of the Royal squadron at Gravesend, considerable delay occurred in making the vessels fast to the dummy ; and the bands had repeated the National Anthem more than once, betore the landing brow could be connected with the gangway of the ship.When this was at length effected, the stern rope by which the ship was moored being somewhat slack, the ship was moved from her position some few feet by the action of the tide.The consequence was, that just as the Queen and the Prince Consort were about to step upon the \u201cbrow,\u201d it shifted, leaving a chasm between it and the ship, so that had any person been upon it at the moment, he or she would would have been precipitated into the water.Sir Joux PAKINGTON ON SCOTCH FARMING.\u2014At the annual meeting of the Worcestershire Agricultural Society, Sir John Pakington said \u2014He had within the last few days travelled through that celebrated farming district between the Firth and the Tweed.There he had seen splendid farma, with large fields and small hedges, where he could count the homesteads, because there were few trees to intercept the view, and every homestead had its steam- engine chimney.There rents were high, because farming was profitable, and farming was profitable because leases were long.(Hear.) Every farmer had a sufficient capital, acd the tenant had no hesitation in laying it out.Corn rents were common, and he was told that the rent of a farmer per acre in that district was the price of two quarters of wheat, and sometimes three, so that a farmer sometimes paid a rent of £1,000, £2,000 and even £3,000 a- year, and had a handsome profit left for himself afterwards.He must say he should be sorry to see the oaks and elms, and apple orchards of Worcestershire felled, and the country rendered as treeless as in Scotland ; but they might do a good deal in the way of improvement before they arrived at any such desperate alternative as tha.There was some very good farming in some parts of that county, but generally the character of farming in Worcestershire did not stand high.As to the speeches at agricultural dinners, Sir John added that \u2018he would rather hoar one good practical speech on farming from a practical man, than the best political speech a Member of Parliament could utter.\u2014 English paper.Whiskers IN THE Army.\u2014Lieutenant-General Pennefather has issued an order to the genét officers at Aldershott, directing them to pay \u201cpar ticular attention to the length of the whiskers of the officers and men,\u2019\u2019 as he \u2018\u2018has observed that some officers of the division have whiskers of a most unusual size and length.\u201d co Free EMIGRATION To THE CAPE OF Goo Hors.\u2014The emigration to the Cape at the colonial ex- nse, under the local act of 1857, now amounts to à 514 souls.

yes, by many of our most respectable religious men, whilst they keep as clear of temperance meetings as the Priest and Levite did of tne wounded traveler.\u2014 Mr.Jeffrey has been elected for the Newcastle District by a majority of 85 over Mr.Shuter Smith.Dany Praver Meetine.\u2014The following Programme has been adopted for the Daily Afternoon Union Prayer Meeting, held in the Committee Room of the Mechanics\u2019 Hall :\u2014 Monday, Prayer for the outpouring of the Holy Spirit, and for the success of Missions, City, Home and Foreign.Tuesday, Prayer for our City and Country.Wednesday, Prayer for the Fallen, the Intemperate, and the Careless.Thursday, Prayer for Parents, Guardians, Employers, and Teachers.Friday, Prayer for the Young, with addresses to Children.Saturday, Prayer for a Revival, and for Special Blessing on the Services of the coming Sabbath.At these meetings, brief addresses in connection with the topics of the day, will be expected, and at all of them, special requests for Prayer may be appropriately - presented through the Chairman.All interested in any one or more of the above objects are cordially invited to attend, and if they see fit, to take part in the meetings.JAMES MILNE, Committee of Arrangements for Jorn DopeaLy, the Daily Afternoon Union Prayer J.À.MATuewson, Meeting.Tee War IN CHINA.\u2014From the Times\u2019 Correspondent we learn that the allied forces landed at Peh-Tang about the beginning of August; that a fort was taken, with its guns, and a number of mines destroyed, and that the British and French soldiers plundered, for which the former were confined, and some of them flogged ; but the French troops continued to plunder uncontrôlled.The first conflict between the British and Chinese took place on the 3rd.A great battle was expected on the 11th August.GALLANT Cariure or BurGLAgrs.\u2014Late last evening tWo.men were discovered in the woodshed of the resi- defice of Alex, Morris, Esq., Alexander Street, by the setvant-maid, who gave the alarm.The fellows made\u2019 off, pursued by the maid, who overtook and seized one.He scufled to get free, when Mr.Morris himself came up and: secured him.The other then turned to rescue his comrade, but a pagser-by in the street came to the ii.help of Mr.Morrie, and the second was also secured.i bey have been before the Court this morning, and ii du ee ae PE were sentenced to two months\u2019 imprisonment.The sentence is so light, because no robbery could be proved.\u201cWinpsap 18 Coming.\u201d\u2014This announcement has been made in the most conspicuous parts of our city for some days, and the question naturally arises, what is he coming todo ?In answer to this question, we would refer to the Doctor's account of his system of physical training, as practised on himself; by which he became from a weak and rather sickly man, a perfect Hercules.We believe, the Witness was the first paper in Canada to copy his marvellous account from the Massachusetts Teucher\u2014and we have reason to know that it excited much interest\u2014an interest which will doubtless, be greatly heightened by the visit of Dr.Windship, | in person.Physical education\u2014or as it is sometimes called muscular Christianity\u2014is becoming the popular science of the present day.And just in proportion as it has been unduly neglected in the past, there is some reason to apprehend that it may be unduly magnified in the future.Very few healthy boys who enjoy an ordinary amount of liberty, or working men who have a variety of labours to perform, require much training in gymnastics ; but there are great numbers of persons of both sexes, whose studies or employrients are too sedentary, either for general health, or for the proper development of the muscular system.To these, gymnastic exercises are invaluable, whilst they would do more or less good to all by bringing neglected muscles into play.We have several extensive Gymnasia in this city already, and we should be pleased to find increased patronage, affording encouragement to managers to render them equal in accommodation and appliances, to many recently founded in the cities of the States.It is, however, to be observed that nothing is more liable to abuse than these manly sports and gymnastic exercises, if carried too far.In fact, some medical men of standing dread the results of the furor that is seizing young men to lift heavy weights.They zay\u2014and say truly, that if \u2018a young horse is made to draw a heavy load, be will probably be ruined for life, whereas, if mature, he would not be injured at all, even by much greater exertion.\u201d In like manner, if only men of 27 tried to lift heavy weights, (which was Dr.Windships age when he began)\u2014there would be little danger.The plan mentioned in the old story, of beginning with a calf, and carrying it daily till it became a cow, is the true principle of developing strength ; tbe trouble with young men is that they begin with the cow.And if youths of 18 to 22 try to imitate a trained athlete like Dr.Windship, they will very probably be materially injured before they are aware.Whilst, therefore, wishing well to this effort on the part of the Mercantile Library Associativo, to bring an important subject before the public in the most attractive manner, and advising all to go and hear Dr.Windship,- we cannot omit a caution to the young, not to be tempted to strain their strength by lilting weights that are too great, or engaging in exercises that are too violent.Patience and regularity in training are the great secrets of success in physical development.Before leaving tbe subject, we would say, that though boxing, with gloves, is admirable practice for both muscle and eye, yet nothing can be conceived more brutal than such contests as that which recently had the sympathies of two respectable nations ; and we are ashamed that even a theatre, in Montreal, should be lent for the shows of a professional prize-fighter.The Herald, Guzette, Transcript, Advertiser and Pilot have all advertised this disgusting affair, and cannot now give their voices against what we are sure every one of them must consider unworthy of that theatre, which they, by editorial puffs, take under their especial protection.Tue MayoraLry.\u2014Mr.Langevin, Mayor of Quebec, is going to decline a re-nomination at the coming election.Many think he has done well to come to this decision; and many would equally commend such a move on the part of the occupant of the same honorable position in Montreal.We are told, however, by one of our city papers, that Mr.Rodier is again to be a candidate ; and the only question is whether he will again be successful?This question we would be disposed to answer in the affirmative when we consider that there is as yet no other candidate; and that Mr.Rodier has not at all during the past year lost his hold on the minds of the people; but has, without any aid excepting his magnificent figure and its adornments, rivetted the affections cf many who might otherwise have been desirous of change.We have, however, we confess, some doubt with regard to the success of this old and tried public fanctionary, who has sustained tbe honor of Montreal at Halifax and Boston, with as much eclat as if he had been a Canadian Premier.And our misgivings are as follows.Canada, Act 23 Vic., c.72, sect.2, where the qualifications of voters at elections in the city of Montreal are described, we find it thus written :\u2014 \u201c And part of a house having a separate outer door by which a communication withthe street may be afforded shall be considered a dwelling house within the meaning of the enactment.\u201d The house that will qualify any person to vote at the next Municipal Election must have an independent street door ;\u2014therefore, two families having egress by the same door, can neither of them be said to come into the list ; and we are under the impression that if this role be attended to, a large number of Mr.Rodier's present supporters will be cut off, leaving a much better opportunity for any suitable opponent.The citizens are getting tired of their King Log, and though the incitements and excitements to effort in the matter are pot so great this year as last, yet we believe there is perseverance enough in the breasts of our more, respectable citizens to \u2018draw them, out to renew thé efforts of last winter.1 5 In the Statutes of THE MONTREAL DAILY WITNESS.Tun BANK or Urrer OANADA.\u2014À writer in the Witness bases an argument against the agitation touching the solvency of the Bank of Upper Canada, upon the supposed fact\u2014 \u2018That it holds $5,299,206 of notes discounted principally to men of business scattered over the whole face of Upper Canada, who are also the customers of the merchants of Montreal.\u201d The fact is that it holds nothing of the kind ; its bills discounted unmatured amount to a very much smaller sum, the balance being bills overdue, and the makers instead of being merchants are politicians and land speculators.If the Bank of Upper Canada were blotted out to-morrow, trade would not miss it ; but the Browns and Babys, Camerons, Mortons and Zimmer- mans would.Perhaps it was Brown of Bothwell who wrote to the Witness.\u2014 Commercial Adverticer.We copy the above reply to an extract from a communicated article, which we gave in a recent number, because we think there is a good deal of point in it.\u2014 The Government and the country want to know\u2014and ought to know\u2014what proportion of the notes discounted by the Bank of Upper Canada is business paper, and what proportion is for politicians and land speculators.The Advertiser is as far astray in his guess respecting the correspondent of the Witness, as he was respecting the correspondent of the Scottish Guardian.He ought to give up this guessing business.A letter signed \u201c À Merchant,\u201d in the same paper, states, that the agitation respecting the Bank of Upper Canada, has had the good result of limiting the issues\u2014not only of this Bank, but of all others\u2014and thus preventing over speculation on the one hand, and causing the produce of the country to be sent more rapidly to market\u2014on the other.There is, probably, a good deal of truth in this.Boox Norices\u2014 The Brothers Waichword.New York: R.Carter & Bros.;

He (Sergeant-Major Cummins) asked Smart who these parties were, and he replied that he had seen them in Toronto gaol on his way down, but immediately added, ¢ Oh never bother about them, I will be hanged and that is enough.\u201d Witness then produced several pieces of ribbon which were found on a bonnet belonging to the mother of the prisoner, and which were proved to have been the property of Mrs.Peterson, the murdered woman.The axe with which the horrible deed was committed, and which was stolen on the night of the murder, was next produced.It had been found in possession of a brother of the prisoner\u2019s, and had been sold to him the day after the murder by his brother.The name of the deceased owner which wag \u2018on\u2019 it had been obliterated.The adopted son, however, stepped forward and identified it as the property of the late Mr.Peterson.Sergeant- Major Cummins then exhibited a large number of articles which have also been identified, and which were found by himself and the other officers\u2019 in a hollow log, lying in a cedar swamp, about a quarter of a mile from the house of the prisoner.The officer said he could bring proof to show \u2018that they were hidden in the log by the male prisoner.A Mrs.Brown produced a triuket box which belonged to Mrs, Peterson, and which she stated was presented to her little gir] the day after the murder by the prisoner.After such a mass of evidence against the male prisoner, the Magistrates determined to commit him for trial at the next assizes on thé very serious charge of murdering Mr.and Mis.Peterson, They discharged the female prisoner, as they did not consider that any evidence had been adduced to impli: cate her in the foul crime.Before closing the court the Magistrates passed a vote of thanks to Sergédnt.Major Cummins for the untiring energy and pétée- verance he had displayed in bringing the prisoner to justice, and on his great skill as a detective officer.This vote of thanks to a most active officer was really well merited, for Mr.Cammins has been actively engaged night and day on the track of the murderer, or in collecting evidence of his guilt, ever since he was sent down to \u2018Picton to assist in the dis |.covery of the perpetrator of one of the foulest mur-| ~~ ders which has ever taken place in Upper Canada.\u2018The value of the goods stolen on the night of thé murder, only amounted to about $7, : ) obta this amount two human lives wére éruelly sacrificed ! and to obtait NoveEMBER 7, 1860 OBJECTIONABLE DOCTRINES.(To the Editor of the Mantreal Witness.) DEAR Sin, \u2014I send for insertion in your paper a letter from a Mr.Romayne, of Quebec, formerly a Roman Catholic, clipped from the Echo, commending it to the attention of your Church of England readers.It is called forth by a letter of one who signs himself \u201c John Carry,\u201d written in support of views maintained in the Provost's Catechism, as it is termed, which has fallen under the condemnation of the Bishop of Huron, and extracts from wbich have appeared in your columns.The Provost is the Theological Professor in the Upper Canada Church of Engiand Theological Seminary, and Mr.Carry is a Bachelor of Divinity, if I am not mistaken, of the Lower Canada Theological Seminary.I can scarcely bring myself to believe that such unsound doctrines are allowed to be taught in our Universities ; and yet how are the public to judge but by their \u201cfruits.\u201d Let there be a disclaimer put forth by the authorities of these Institutions; nothing short of it can satisfy true-hearted members of the Church of England.Are such views countenanced, or are they not ?These Institutions are too valuable to be sacrificed out of personal consideration for either the Bishop of Huron, the Provost, or Mr.Carry.Let us not think of individuals, but of the Institutions which we hope are to live for ages and assist in training up noble bands of Ministers of Christ for this great country.I have sent this communication to your paper because I know of no other vehicle by which it may be made to reach so large a number of the clergymen and laity of the Church of England, all of whom have, or ought to have, an interest in the management of these Institutions.A CHURCHMAN.[The letter above referred to will be found on another page.\u2014 En.Wir.] SUMMARY.\u2014 A special meeting of the members of the Society of the Montreal General Hospital was held on Monday afternoon, to consider and approve the amended By-Laws,~John Redpath, Esq, in the chair.The minutes were read, and the By-Laws passed without any material change; when it was moved by W.Mol- son, Esq., seconded by P.Morland, Esq., and unanimously carried, that they be approved.The Secretary was authorized to have them printed and circulated among the members.\u2014 The Committee of the Mechanics\u2019 Institute acknowledge, with thanks, the receipt of a Lead Plate with inscription, and several other relics, taken from the foundation stone of the old Conrt House of this city, as donations to the Museum, from Robert Forsyth, Esq., C.E.\u2014 Mr.Carey, the leader of the Band of the Royal Canadian Rifles, has received a beautiful gold pen and pencil-case, from the Prince of Wales ; and the services of the Band have also been handsomely recognized.\u2014 In reference to the accident last Saturday, at the corner of St.Paul and St.Francois Xavier Streets, a correspondent of the Gazette says: \u2014*\u2018It is a painful fact that such accidents are of frequent occurrence at that corner, and it is surprising that the officers, whose daty it is to attend to such matters, do not take immediate steps to prevent them, The paving stones have become smooth, and when wet are like ice\u2014daungerous to man and beast.I would suggest that grooves be cut suficiently deep in the pavement that the horse's shoes may catch.\u201d \u2014 On Monday night, between G and 7 o'clock a female infant, apparently about a mouth old, was left at the door cof a house opposite the New Connection Methodist Church on Dupre Lane.It will be a pity if the heartless parents cannot be discovered and punished for this cruelty.\u2014 A man named Thomas Simpson has been committed to Sarnia jail, on a charge of poisoning a Mr.Clark.\u2014 The Pembroke Observer says that in the winter season the mail matter from Pembroke to Stafford\u2014 only seven miles distance\u2014is carried to Arnprior, from thence to Renfrew and Cobden, and from Cobden to Stafford, occupying seven days in transitu.\u2014 A colored man, who has during his life been the means of saving several lives, lost his own in seeking to rescue a drowning man who fell overboard from the fan chains of the \u201c Nile,\u201d on her passage from Halifax to Portland.PARAGRAPH FROM ExcHAnGE Paper \u2014 We are in receipt of several numbers of the Daily Montreal Witness.We are glad to see that it is liberally supported with advertisements.It is a very valuable commercial paper.The semi-weekly edition has a large circulation in this County.\u2014 Brampton Times.~ COMMERCIAL.MoxrreaL, Nov.7.\u2014Noon.Heavy rains fell yesterday afternoon, and lastnight ;

and I challenge Mr.Carry, or any man in North America, or any man in the world, to point out one single prayer in the Word of God to prove this Romish doctrine.All nature, all creation, heaven and earth, pointed to Jesus as the only Meditator, Advocate, and Intercessor between sinful creatures and a \u2018sinless God.Go to the valley and you will find him the *\u201c Rose of Sharon and the Lily of the Valley\u2019 ; ask the rocks and they will tell \u2018thee that he is the \u2018\u201c Rock of ages \u201d ; inquire of the springs and fountains of water, and they all proclaim him to be the \u2018fountain opened for the men of Judah, and for the inhabitants of Jerusalem, for sin and for uncleanness \u2019\u2019 ; look towards the firmament of heaven, and there you will see him as \u2018the Sun of Righteousness rising with healing in his wings,\u201d and as \u2018the bright and morning Star.\u201d Ask the Apostles, ask all the Saints of God, and you will get but one response from them all, ¢ Behold the Lamb of God that taketh away the sins of the world; yes everything in heaven and earth and hell, except Popery, proclaims Jesus alone as the only Intercessor.Again if departed Saints pray for those on earth, how does it happen that Elijah the prophet knew nothing of it ?For he said to Elisha * ask what I shall do for thee before I am taken away from thee,\u201d that is as much as to say, ¢ Ask now while I am with you, and while we can communicate our wants and necessities to one another, what I shall do for thee; for when I am departed I can do nothing for you.\u201d And he asked, and Elijah prayed for him then, which clearly demonstrates that in heaven he could not possibly do so.It is no argument in favour of this antiscriptural doctrine that we pray for, and pray with, the Saints on earth.We do so, because as in the case of Elijah, we can communicate our wants and necessities to them, and being themselves in the flesh they can feel for us and feel with us, because they are themselves encompased with infirmities.And moreover we and they are commanded by the Word of God to do so; but with the Saints departed the case is entirely different ; they are ignorant of our necessities, they cannot feel for our infirmities, and therefore it is nothing short of idolatry to suppose that they assist us by their prayers in heaven.Neither can any argument for this unchristian doctrine be drawn from Rev.vi.9, 10.All the incidents 'mentioned in the chapter are symbolic ; the horses, the riders, the crowns, the balance, &c., are all symbolic; and relate altogether to what was to \u2018come to pass\u2019 on earth.Any person reading the chapter will at once see this.The darkness of the sun, the falling of the stars, the inhabitants of the earth hiding themselves in the rocks and caves, the scarcity of provision, the saving of the oil and wine, the slaughter with the sword, with bunger and with the beasts of the earth, and lastly the wailing cry of the children of God in the midstlof the terrible persecution, \u2018How long, oh Lord, holy and true, dost thou not judge and avenge our blood on them that dwell on the earth:\u201d so that, in reality, instead of proving the doctrine for which it is quoted, it just proves the very opposite.But if it be a truth, it can be very easily proved ; why, then, did not Mr.Carry bring forward some passage more explicit, and which he could probably understand better?I am not a learned man, Mr.Editor, with the advantage of a college education.I am but an uneducated layman of the Church of England.I have knowledge enough however to understand that it is a very bad \u2018\u2018sign of the times\u201d when an ordained minister of a Protestant Church ¢ conceives it to be a truth,\u2019\u2019 that Jesus Christ's intercession for us in heaven is not sufficient of itself, unless aided by the assistance of the prayers of departed Saints.\u201cHoping that I have not trespassed too much on your valuable space and also that those hurriedly written remarks may be the humble means.of inducing some poor deluded saint-worshipper to cling more closely to Jesus, and to put all his confidence, and all bis hope in Him alone, I have the honor to be, Sir, Very sincerely yours, EpMoND RONAYNE, Formerly a Roman Catholic.Quebec, 20th Oct., 1860.Tue SPIRIT TRADE AND THE Revival, MovEMENT.\u2014An extensive distiller in the north of Ireland has given us some interesting information with respect to the effect of the revival movement on the spirit trade.He mentions that some time ago there were no less than twenty-two public-houses in Bushmills\u2014that number has been reduced to eight\u2014and that these eight shops put together have not now as large a trade as any one of the twenty-two during former years.Referring to the effect of the revival movement on his own trade, he mentioned it was so serious that, if he had not had made extensive sales in England, on the Continent, and in America, the business of his establishment must have been brought to a close.A wholesale merchant in Coleraine had stated to him that it was customary, in former years, for farmers to send into town for two, three or five gallons of whisky, in order to celebrate at this season the harvest home ; but this year he had not received a single order from this class of his former customers; and that for everyten gallons he sold before the com- wencement of the revival movement in 1859, he did not dispose of one gallon at present.Referring to a particular street; he remarked that, as an evidence of the influence of the work; one publican had closed his shop, believing that the traffic was demoralizing ; and yet that person at one period sold more spirits than any ten of the trade in the locality.These statements convey their own moral\u2014Belf ner.: : The * MONTREAL WITNESS\u201d is printed and published by JoaN DOUGLL, Proprietor, at 84 rear published Street.House head of Drummond Street, Mongreal.\u201cfe : LR 5 ee gi.Np et At gba A A * 3 Rik és FOTO ARE PET E ong YOR ty.E ifast Ban- BR Pa ich Aes Lon Rg er bh."]
