* It is observed in our large towns, in Liverpool among others, that the strongest eagerness to petition Parliament fora public-house reform is shown by the labouring class; and the intensest of all by the drunkards among them. .And a very touching spectacle it is to see them thronging to sign a petition like that just got up at Liverpool.
