It seoms that the suit was originally brought under the new law, but it was afterwards abandoned, and the par- ties fell back on the law of 1930, and brought the pre- sent suit under the 4th and oth sections of that law. | The action was brought in the name of the corporation of Brooklyn. against Miles Wood, a tavern keeper, re- siding in Fulton street, in the 6th ward. The declaration | contained two counts. The first count claimed a penalty | of $25, for selling spirituous liquors without licence, and | the second claimed another penalty of $26 for selling spi- rite aud allowing it to be drank in his house, without li- | cence. The counts averred that Mr. Wood sold liquor, and allowed it to be drank on his premises, at various times, from the 22d of May to the 22d of June last The defendant’s counsel strenuously argued that the aver ment was too vague, aad took in too great a space of time for the defendant to be able to meet it, and that the oenee ought to be compelled to elect some day or upon which the liquor was sold. The Court over- ruled the objection, after which a man named Burke was called, and the fellowing dialogue passed between him and the plaintilfs’ counse! 11 know his place of business ? it is at the corner of Fulton and Atlantic city of Brooklyn. his business ?

Ms. Wnitina for the defence, contended fir: all penal actions, the prosecutors are bound to strict aftir- mative proof of all tie averments in their declaratio: # In this case, there was no proof that Mr. Wood sold withouta license. He next took the ground, that the law of 1845 took away the power of prosecuting for penalties, from the Mayor and corporation, and gave it to the overseers of the poor, in whose names this action should be brought. The third ground be took, was-that the law of 1845 repealed the law of 1930, and upon these grounds he iasisted that the action could not be main- tained. The Judge charged the jury against him on the first and third points ; but, said he had some doubts ay for it? im that in the second. but left it to the jury todecide that questi as it was their province to judge ot the law as well as the fact. The counsel for ‘the prosecution, then aban- doned the second count in the declaration, and the ‘ury found @ verdict ou the first count for $25, in favor of the plaintiffs. . Mr. Whiting, in his address to the jury. made the fol- lowing remarks, which struck us with greatforce He said he did not appear there as the advocate of drunken- ness or intemperance ; on the contrary, he was as much an advocate for sobriety and temperance asthe mayor and corporation of Brook!yn, but his system would be moral suasion and not coercion ; they. all knew from ex- perience that whenever jon was usad it signally fail vd, and he gave as an in’ of Connecticut, where eration was sought to be put in force, but eve- tho State was up in arms ogainst it, and if this ttempted to be for f rate uch an upheaving as would shake its insti- ir very foundation. A new school of philo- sophy, said Mr. Whiting. has unfortunately started up amongst us, and at the head of this school is the editor of Acertain morning paper in tbe city of New York. Al- though he had*no fears that this sect could change the laws of nature and overturn society, yet in their mad at- ry to carry out their wild and visionary schemes,they t doa great amount of mischief. t was th this mischief tention of the jury. If they ‘ying out this law, what was to islature to prescribe ell as what we are to m he wished to direct t wero successful in jt them from calling on the for us what we are to eat drink; have they not the same right to say to us you shall not use beef or mutton, or ony other animal food; you shall eat nothing but Graham bread or Indian cakes, or squashes. In like manner what is to Brent them calling on the legislature to reguiatethe fashion, or cut your surtoute, or to prescribe to us the church at which we must worship. It was just as likely that they would broach some sbsurd theory of this sort, es that they broached the license law; and-when once broached by them, they would doubtloss eall upon the legislature to assist them in carrying it out; and it would be just as competent for that body to prohibit us from using enimal food, or in exercising our own judgment in regard to any of the other thiogs above mentioned, as it was to prohibit us from drinking rum or brandy. He concluded his remarks by calling on the jury to frown down by therr verdict this new school of philosophers. Tue Assaver Batreny Case.—This care, re- ported in ye Herald, resulted in a verdict of ac- quittal for all the defendant Farmers’ Clab. An irregular meeting of this club was held on Tuesday in the rooms of the American Institute, Mr. Hyper in the Chair, in order to complete the business left unfinished by the last meeting. The subject, one of deep importance to the agricultu- ral and horticultucal interests of the country—‘‘In- sects—their injury to vegetation, and modes of destruction,” should have commanded a more fumerous attendance than appeared upon this oce: mn, of those peculiarly involved in ascer- taining the apparently mysterious system, by whichthe most healthy and luxuriant trees, as well as crops, are Pts 's by a pesti- tential inhalation within their vi from bloom and early maturity to blight and rapid consump- tion—triumphing over all the experiments of art and ingenuity—and suddenly, by arbitrary and capricious progress, defying all remonstrance that experience could dictate, or reason suggest. It was to open a channel of investigation that this subject was selected, and we repeat, that none, - paramonnt, universal a ae could bly e1 ¢, or more profitably, belong toa aes rtomariy organized for the develop- ment of all that belongs to the advancement of the alk. important cause they have espoused. We were iniormed, early in the discussion, of the yreat devastation thata garden in the city was ex- posed to, by the ravayes of insects upon fruit trees, grape vines, vegetables, squashes, &e.; but of that fact, too many were unhappily from expe- rience convinced. It was reserved for Dr. Under- hill to develope—from the resources of a mind de- yoted to the causs of agriculture and horticul- ture—the foundation of that pestilence, which, asif ashamed of its depredations, makes “dark ness its hiding place,” and spreads its upas sterility over the bright and blooming pro- ductions of nature’s God and man’s hand. The investigation of the subject of insects, the Doctor observed, was as unfathomable as the ex- tent of their influence was unlimited; varying in ferm, size, numbers and genealogy, they balfled the most experienced to detect their origin or ob- viate their ravages. Among fruits they seem pe- culiarly to revel; anv from the specimens he pro- duced of the peach, the quince, the pear, and even the imported hawthorn, their destructive powers were illustrated with a vengeance. That while it displayed the celerity of their movements, exhi- bited the rapid contagion that followed their ine sorutable track—the sting ascending as the sap descends. The only remedy he found effectual was whitewosting the trunk immediately after the’spring. Where quinces were planted in wet soile, this process was equally salutary, as tendin to resist the progress of the enail its be nol vements, the lime possessing the property o dissolving the shell, Doctor Underhill produced branches of the qaince, with an infinite quantity otanimalcalw deposited within the fruit, and a brick eolor skin surrounding the surface. The Doctor repudiated the idea entertained by the Jerse pita by Phd East be blast pro- duced this blighting effect upon the peach tree; but was menaced that the beetle, wlech swarms the trees in the cool of the evening, 18 the positive cause, affeeting with equal venom the hardy leaf bed the oak, as well as the yom and fibrous Me iage of the peach. The Newtown pippin an the grape vine are subject to these destractive animatcul®, From such inroads, as well as from those of the caterpillar, Dr. Underhill recommends the application of spirits of tarpentine, applied with Ticoper on, the end of a pole. "Tobacco smoke is doubtful in its efficacy. The ploughing of the ground the latter end of October or Novein- ber, is effectcal, so far as exposing the insect to the weather, and thereby gesey its struction. The Doctor thought, too, that hogs, freely exercising their vocation, wonld siso be very beneficial in ing animalcule.

This process, however requires a cautious and skilfat hand. The proxi- mity of the wild cherry renders the caterpillars | and approved also of the pre subject, by imploring the attention of ail the fi mers elubs in the country, to a matter of deep i terest to their advantage. Mr. Meigs stated a fact that in Spain, and in the proximity of the tomato, no pernicious insects were te be found We ap- prehend his project of planting tomatoes on the margin of orchards as an antidote, might be pro- ductive of a contrary effect, as giving birth to another species Of animaleuw, more dangerous per «ps than that wh ch it was designed tocrush. Col. Skinner read some extracts from a work on the turpentine trade of South Carolina, which tended to show the rapid disappearance of the long leafed turpentine pine, which was invariably supplanted by trees of a dutlerent origin, probably by the inroad of beetles, Dr Field corroborated from his experience the facts and theories of Dr. Underhill, and recommended constant: syringing with a solution of water, mo! es, and tobacco, ss of scraping the trees in the winter. Dr. Field suggested to the Club the propriety ef farmers supplying the So- ciety with such specimens of the bug tribe as come within their experience, a proposition which was cheerfully adopted. After some desuitory re- marks, the Club adjourned, not however, losing sight fa subject, that embraces so much matier otdeep and abiding importance, viewed either, as referring to the fancy or amateur horticul- tulist, or to the practical and pyofessional far- mer, The Filth and Stench of the Streets. Mr. Eprrtor. Sir:—I perfectly agree with ete thatit is ofno use to say any more about the filthy and unhealthy state of the streets to the Common Council, In- spectors, ‘&c.; and would not have said any more, were it not to expose, what I conside., one, if not the only cause, for their not being properly cleaned, and at a much less cost. My authority for the statement I_am about to make, I consider good, and were I at liberty to give names, the public would consider it so too. It appears that the Committee on Cleaning Streets, recently adopted a resolution to enlarge the size of the dirt carts. But lo, and behold. when the Jehus who drive these carts got their orders to enlarge them, they would not stand it no how. They kicked, and threatened to peti- tion the Common Council against this innovation on their liberties, “the largest liberty.” Now, tir, this attempt (whether successful or not),of the dirt cartmen to overrule the action and orders of the committee, is a practical illustra- tion of the repeated charges which were, and now are made by the natives, ‘‘that the Commoa Council, aud the democratic party, are under the dictation and control of the Irish in this city,’” ives much plausibility and force to the charge, ‘or itis notorious, that the dirt cartmen, swee ers, && , Who hold the lower offices under the Common Council, are chiefly Irish. I, for the same reasons, infer the same, and, as a natural consequence, that no change for the better ought to be expected, or can take place, whilst the Com- mon Council wenr collars, and must do as this portion of the vote'rs of the party dictate. I would, therefore, suggest that the dirt cartmen, sweep- ers, &c., be invested with all the mumicipal au- thority, and take possession of the White House, and that the present Aldermen and Assistants, G.
