TIIE JJCENSE QUESTION. The question is frequently asked, says the Albany Tribune, what effect will the late decision of the Supreme Court have upon those who have been fined for selling liquor without license? The law having been declared unconstitutional, can the parties recover back the lines paid by them? Not at all. The law was declared unconstitutional and void, only so far as it submit ted the question of "license", or "no license" to a vote of the people. As a license law the act is complete in itself, says the Court and notwithstanding the license may have been wrongfully withheld, still the party was bound to procure one to entitle him to sell. If he sold without license, lie did it at his peril, and was liable. -5
This may all be right, and doubtless is but to our mind it looks very much like conflicting with that legal dogma we have often heard quoted, that a man shall never be permitted to take advantage of his own wrong. Now the whole case is in a nutshell. Mr. SriGGET files the required bond with good and sufiicient sureties, and demands a license to sell liquor. He is entitied to it by law but wc the people, wrongfully withhold it from him. lie proceeds to sell without license and forthwith we proceed to take advantage of our own wrong, and amerce him in heavy damages, perhaps forcing the money from him at the end of an execution.
We arc no advocates for the liquor traf''fic, God knows we would like to see the entire abominable nuisance eradicated and rooted out, from the land. But that is no reason why we should not deal justly with even a liquor seller and pauper manufacturer. If by virtue of an unconstitutional law we have taken wrongfully from him, let ,t- us make restitution, though the money ex torted from him may have been the price •o of orphans' tears ana wulows signs.
RIOT AND BLOOD-SUED.—A serious riot occurred at Lasallc, Illinois, a tew days ago among the laborers on the Central Railroad, originating out of a reduction of wages. One of the rioters was shot dead bv the contractor Albert Story the rioters then attacked Story's office, and pillaged it, and brutally murdered the contractor.— Mrs. Story was fired on but escaped.
It is reported that a man named Dunn, Story's foreman, shot nine of the laborers. The Sheriff soon arrived on the ground, nnd meeting with some resistance, shot one Irishman dead anu wounded two others.
Thirty of the rioters were arrested.— Story's body was horribly mutilated.

t&~ We learn from the Sentinel, that a course of lectures will be delivered in the Masonic Hall in that city, commencing on next Monday evening, at 7 o'clock, and continuing every Monday evening thereafter until the 27th of March, 1851. The lectures will be upon such subjects as refer to masonary, its history, orign, objects, rites, cercmonies, and relation to society. The course is intended to be comprehensive, and will undoubtedly be of great advantage to the members of the brotherhood who wiil avail themselves of this opportunity.— The ""lecturers are perfectly competent as men o* learning, and would do honor to thi-msel ves in any department of literature their names arc Dr. A. M. Hunt, Hon. II. W. Ellsworth, Prof. Larrabee, 11. F. West, J. W. Gordon, Gov. Wallace, and N. Bolton. All members of the fraternity, cilizma or strangers, ia- good standing, are inviu*!

fW The New Albany Ledger says a woman named Gertrude Kohler was arrested in Albany, N. Y., last week, on a charge of having two more husbands thpn the law allowed. The three husbands met together and agreed to decide as to who should become the possessor of the fair Gertrude by a game of cards. They played, and the first husband won. But the lady protested against this disposition of her lovely peTson, she preferred the third and last, and the law was appealed to. When asked what had induced her to leave her two first husbauds, she answered that they were "nichts goot," and that Mr. Kohler was worth "about six huntret of such tirty rascals. I try dem all," said she, and takes the bestest and if be not goot, I tries blenty more, till I finds a Dutchman dat suits jest right." It was impossible to make her understand that this kind of experimenting was not altogether correct, and she was committed for "bigamy," (a9 the law miscalls her offence,) evidently considering herself a much injured woman.
HORRIBLE.—The Meigs County Telegraph reports that "A man living in Athens county, visited Pomeroy, last week, in company with his fathcr-tn-law. While here, they become intoxicated, and left town with a jug filled with liquor. On reaching the house of the former, they demanded supper. She requested her husband to hold the babe while she prepared food. The child becoming fretful, these two. men, the father and grand-father— made fiends by alchohol chopped its head off with an axe."
KT Miss Amanda Carter was convicted of forgery in Louisville yestcrdav, and sentenced to two years' confinement in the penitentiary. Petitions for her pardon were immediately circulated.—X. A. Ledger.

HARD TIMES.—A letter from New York alluding to the class of persons most seriously affected by the money pressure, says:
One of the most distinguished persons whose paper went to protest, presented to his wife, last winter, a mantle costing three thousand dollars. Another gave his better half a lace dress costing twice that amount, whilst another gave a church the enormous sum of seventy thousand dollars. Now the tables are turned, and the failure of these five or six may cau?e the ruin of hundreds of others.

tendent of Public Instruction, and President of the Board of Education, recommind the following list of books as being most suitable to be adapted generally in all the Common Schools in the State. We are under obligations to the Board, for forwarding us a package of the books, which reached us in good order. 6rriCE OF SCFtniNTKffDENT
JQJ PCIJI.IC INSTRUCTION, Indianapolis, Nov. 1S53.
EDITOR OF TRIE REVIEWDEAR SIH: At a meeting of the 9tat« Board of Education, held at the Capital. November 14. 1353. each member of the Board Demg present, the following document was adopted:
INDIANAPOLIS, Nov. 14,1S53.
The State Board of Education approve the following list of text-books for common schools: McGt FrF.y's
ECLECTIC SPEI-LISO BOOK.
BUTLER'S ENGLISH GRAMMKK. MITCHKT.L'S PRIMARY OEOWRAPHT. MITCHELL'S GEOGRAPHY AND ATLAS. KAY'S ARITHMETIC, I'ART FIRST. KAY'S ARITHMETIC. I'ART SECOND. RAY'S ARITHMETIC, PART THIRD. WEBBI ER'S DICTIONARIES. The examination of Books for our Common Schools has involved great labor, but the Board has endeavored to perform the arduous and responsible duty judiciously, thoroughly, and faithfully. Intrinsic merit for introduction has been considered of paramount importance, and secondly, economy to the State.
The Board would submit only a few remarks on the books selected. SpcUiHg Book*.—The object of a Spenms Book is to teach the orthographical form of words, in a simple, methodical, and thorough manner. For this purpose preference is sriveu to MoGutiey's Eclectic Spelling Book over ariv of the numerous works in that branch that have been examined.
Rending Books.—The Indiana First Reader, Second Reader. Third Reader. and_Fourth Reader, have been compiled from McGutl'ey Eclectic Renders. which are well known to educators in all parts of the United States, as perhaps, the bcstolass books ever issued. The choicest lesions of these excellent books make up the matter of the Indiana Rce. Icrs, which are esteemed as the most desirable reeling books.
English Grammar.—For this department the works of mi.ny authors have been examined, and prul«reno(?sriven to that of Professor Nobis Butler, whose excellent treaties is highly esteemed by intellegcut teachers. :,3 well calculated to make thorough grammarians.
Arithmetic—Tn this important branch of study, the works of several authors have lieen carefully examined, and none found, all t.liingaconsidered,equal to Kav's scries, which cmbracc three books.
Part First is book of simple »ud easy lessons and tables for young children. Part Second "is very complete and thorough work on Mental Arithmetic, a branch of study too much ncleetcd in common schools.
I'art Third, devoted to Practical Arithmetic, is an additional treaties, and well calculated to make pupils thorough arithmeticians.
It is a work of the highest order of merit. Professor Ray's works show that the author is a thorough mathematician, and a skillful an! successful instructor.
The foregoing works have all been compiled, stcrotvped, and published in our own West. Their authors are ircntlemen engaged in educational pursuits in the West. and their successful labors as instructors have sensibly contributed to our advancement. The books named have already been received with so much favor by the people of this State. that wc are warranted in the belief that they will continue to receive the approbation to which their me: it so eniincntlv entitles them.
Geography.—'The Geography we recommend is hichlv esteemed for accuracy in facts and figures, and is alreadv in very general use in this Slate.
Dictionaries.—lr. Noah Wobstr-r's Unabridged Quarto Dictionary is considered indis|onsible to everv teacher in our State, as the standard authority in (h thographv. Pronunciation and Deiinincr: and Webster's smaller Dictionaries are equally indispensable in all schools where an English Lexicon is required.
The introduction of Webster's Dictionaries is indeed an urgent necessity, that the rising generation may be taught to spell and pronounce alike, and also, that all may learn from the highest authority the use and meaning of words.
Yours Ivjspcctfullv, W. C. EARRABF.E.
Superintendent of Public Instruction, and President of the Bowd of Education.
t^~ An exchange contains the following. Some of the suggestions arc worthy the consideration of the fair sex of this city:
We incidentally stated a few days ago, that the females in the schools of Ireland are now instructed in the finest branches of needle-work, producing embroidery and laces which favorably compare with those of Belgium and France. Thus anew branch of industry has been introduced in Ireland, which must have a most happy tffect upon the social condition of the people generally of that country. Instead of being collected iu factories, the females, after leaving school, perform their work at their various homes their products being gathered by the merchants and brought into market.
Considering the exhorbitant prices of laces and embroideries in this country, and the increasing demand for such luxuries, if not extravagancies, we should be glad if the art were taught in the schools of this country whether common or select to a greater extent than it now is. In many eases it would be the means of affording a livelihood to the poor, and supplying many others with adornments which their parents are compelled to deny, in consequence of not having a "surplus revenue."
Beside, and apart from the pecuniary considerations, habits of industry would be promoted, and indulgence iu vitiating pleasures measurably avoided.
It would not be amiss, as a part of female domestic education, to teach the art of dress-cutting and dress-making, for it now costs as much to have a dress made as it would to purchase the material fur one which, the mothers of the olden time, but not the daughters of the present dnv, would consider good enough fora "Sunday gown."
Their are some ladies in this city who manufacture their own shoes, the soles and wax ends being purchased from stores.— Thev find that they can make two pairs for what they have to pay for one and produce as good an article as need be worn. The labor is not considered more tiresome than ordinary sewing. Such being the fact, why should not ladies make covering for the feet as well as for the head? The shoes of which we speak are the lighter kind, such as gaiters and slippers.
tS~ Aim high in life. If you don't hit the stars, *you can land in the mud. Anything is better than stupid inaction. Even a muddy man is worth a half dozen lazy ones.

For the Review.
THE SPIRIT OF COMMERCE, BV 11. O. CFIEADEL, was an effort of a kind which we hardly know how to denominate, unless we force a term and call it miscellaneous—a mixture of good and bad, or rather of bad and good, for the bad part came first. He need hardly have taken us back eight or ten centuries, informing us to what extent commerce was carried on by the ancients, and how they regarded it nor need he have expatiated so largely upon the avenues which the voyage and discoveries of Christopher Columbus opened for com merce. We are all familiar with those truths, which, however appropriate their rehearsal may be in a recitation room, are rather trite and common place fora literary speech. His caption was the spirit not the history of commerce, and to this he should have confined himself. But let us not do Mr. CHEADEL injustice. His speech had some excellent features, and when he came to his subject, which he did when he was about half through, it was above criticism. His thoughts were in an eminent degree practical, and none who heard the latter part of his speech, would take exceptions to it.
THE MISANTHROPE, M* II. B. CI RTIS, was listened to with marked attention. It was a manly effort, and for one so young was certainly deserving of much praise. We were somewhat surprised, however, that one of his years should have selected a character to write upon, the very thought of which is so dampening to the hopes and visions of youth.. But he handled it as though lit knew all about it. His portrayal of the passions and their influence, was in the highest degree striking and vivid, and showed either that he is possessed of a very fertile imagination, or else, which we sincerely hope is not the case, that young as he is, he has already experienced some of the sad realities of life. Ilis speech was full of most beautiful figures, of an elevated character, and which would have been no discredit to an older writer. We were sorry for one thing though. Hecould'i.t, resist the temptation to give Byron a| parenthetical brush as he went along. Poor Byron He has been damned so repeatedly and often by the students, that it seems as though the hand of mercy was destined never to reach him. Mr. CURTIS seems to think Lhere is no Misanthrope beyond the hope of redemption. There are two almost certain remedies he says activity—engaging in the busy occupations of every day life—i and woman, "God b'ess the women," he cries. May he never find in her a greater cause than cure of misanthropy.
The exhibition of the first evening was closed by an oration from j. M. ^DEFUSES

On the second evening, the first oration was by F. M. GREEN on the ASI-IRATIONS OF THE SCHOLAR. Among what manuscripts

I wish to notice the speeches in order bly good of its kind. We cannot, howevand express an opinion of the merits and er, admire the taste of Mr. Kingsbury very demerits of each and if 1 sometimes speak. much, in the selection of his subject. Masplainly, I mean neither to detract nor discourage.

BATES greeted the large au-1 doubt whether one third of the people who dience assembled, with an oration on Self listened to Mr. Kingsbury, ever heard of Indulgence. No one could fail to be pleas- Massillon before, or cared anything about ed with this speech. It abounded in wit, his character and history. If he must humor, and pathos, all so happily blended write on a subject of this kind, he would as to give it a winning, pleasant, and fas-' have done better to have chosen a characcinating air. The style of declamation was. ter more familiar 3nd interesting to the peonot in strict accordance with the elocution-1 pie of the present day. We had not so ary ordeal which wc presume the speaker much objection to his spccch, which was has undergone, but it was easy and without constraint and while it was somewhat deficient in the energy and vehemence which are characteristic, and perhaps requisite in Western oratory, it at the same time possessed a grace and naturalness which were highly commendable. Mr. BATES possesses the rare and happy faculty of introducing similes and illustrations just in their proper places. Some of these were highly amusing and entertaining. Upon the whole this speech was a suitable prelude to the series of good ones which followed it. tt r,

J. G. KTXGSBURY'S eulogy, criticism, or whatever it was, on Massillon, was tolera-
sillon, if we remember a-right, was a minister of considerable note and influence of
..ell written and somewhat polished, as to his subject. His style of declamation too was very good, cxcept that there was an air of "Ladies and gentleman it is I who am addressing you," which we did not exactly like.
IRISH CHARACTER, BV SAM. V. MORRIS was the subject of "the next speech in order. We congratulate Mr. Morris on the selection of his subject. He could not possibly have chosen a more suitable one, nor one better calculated to interest. His manner of treating it was altogether to onr taste, and his heartrs did not withhold from him the commendation he so well deserved.— He first delineated minutely and accurately the characteristics of the Irish—spoke of their love of kindred, and love of home— their warm heartedness, and unselfish friendship, and above all, their untiring devotion to the country which gives them birth, and their earnest desire for its freedom, lie alluded to the now deplorable condition of Ireland, and concluded with an eloquent prediction of a brighterd.iy for her in the future. His per-oration was certainly very fine, and that it was appreciated by the audience, was evinced by the good attention they bestowed.
As for the last speech, MCTABIUTT OF LITERATURE, BV M. L. SPITTLER, we have not much to say. It was rather cleverly wriLten, and evidenced that its author has a good mind, though, not as yet very highly cultivated. When he has more experience in writing, however, we do not doubt but that he will excel, and by a little attention he may become a very fair declaimer, though he has now one of the extremes ot energy.
The exhibitions on both evenings passed off very finely, and were marked by a flattering degree of good attention on the part of the audience. Some of the speeches were naturally bi tter than others, but ali were above mediocrity.
I cannot close this article without ofTering a passing tribute of praise to the musicians. I have not heard any music, executed by the same number of persons, in either the East, Xorth or South, exceeding that which I had the pleasure of hearing on these occasions. It was all of a very high order, and executed with r. degree of taste and correctm ss, which would reflect credit upon the band anywhere

SENATOR BRIGHT.—We see by the Congressional reports that our distinguished Senator starts oil in the business of the Senate as one of its mo.it prominent actors, fully sustaining his well earned reputation as a working business legislator. He has already introduced and carried through the Senate several bills this session, and besides, has several others on the way, some of which, are particularly interesting to the State.
No man in the Senate' carries more personal influence, and we believe, no single Senator is so efficient when he undertakes to carry a pirticular measure.

MASONARY THE MODERN METHUSALEH.—The long and uninterrupted existence of Freemasonary in the world is a circumstanco which cannot escape the observation of the contemplative nor fail to excite some degree of wonder in tho.se at least who understand not its pure and well-formed system/ It has stood the waste of time through many revolving ages amidst the successive revolutions of states and empires, of human law* and customs, it has remained without any change in its principles and without any material alteration in its original form.— Placed on the immovable basis of the best natural principles of the human heart, its pillars have remained unshaken amidst th« rage of every varied storm and to this ^ouf have suffered no decay.
JBSfSome of the Scriptural events rec nized in the Lectures of Masonry are the following: The general deluge the building of Bable the deliverance of Israel from Egvpt their journeyings through the •wilderness the building of the tabernacle: the setting up of the ark the institution of the priesthood, the altar and the daily sacrifice the building, service and sacred utensils of the Temple. Upon these many of our hieroglyphics are founded and whose explanation involves a constant reference to them.
