EFFECTS OF TEMPERANCE IN IRELASD.-At
Limerick, with population of so 900 inhabitants,
all the brcweries have been closed, except one
small one which is more thaa sufficient to supply
the wants of the city and surrounding districts.
There were formerly in this place several exten-
sive brewcres one of which We had the pleasure
of visiting. 1t the largest had over seen.
and was let for u renta of $1,000 per annum. 1t
has now been stopped more than two years, and is
fast going ruins, the machinery corrodng with
rust, and the roof gradually falling in. While at
limerick we also went over the remains OF large
distillery which believe was one of the most ex-
tcnsive in Ireland The concern formerly paid
100000 per annum in excise duty, and the
weekly production over 300 pnncheons OF
whisky, which is equivalent to return OF more
than G 1000 per day. 1t has now for a consideta-
bic time been at a stand, and we hope may never
again be called into activity.
