THE WAVE HOLL8 ON. It is nly about five ycais since the first hearty avl suceesstul efforts vete made in the Untsd Slates to put a stop to the fl jviii tide ot intcinpe i anct A meeting Has called in the small village of Lyme N 11 at which Mr. Retnt!i;e delivered his first address; a so ciety was lormed vhich proposed two objects, first, that they themselves would totally abstain from ardent spit its, and the second was that they would collect and publish to the world such facts, as would

illustrate the evils ol this vice in all then length and breadth. 'I his little meeting rai the fust impulse giveu to the cause. A little undulation was originated then which has been ever since rolling on ward its healthful waters, till it has be come a mighty wave, and its power will soon be felt arrouud the globe Let him vrho stands befote this wave beware In five short years a rapid march has been made against the enemy; The fatal bowl has bsen (lashed from the lips of twelve hundred drunkards, and an aiiny ol more than half a million has been marshalled in this holy warfare. And bow has this mighty conquest been achieved? There have been no long and expensive campaigns; no blood ha bten spilt, no teais have been shed, except tears .if joy and gratitude over husbands, sons and fathers that have been recap lured from this foe and restored to pet e. to coicience, and to happiness This victory has been achieved solely by the tnnral fioxver of truth and facts tacts catuhdiy laid before the public exhibiting the moral evils, and misery and gui.t attendant on intemperance; and its ftiUmphs are extending beyond the Allan tic The wave roU on and will soon, we

trust, roii lound the globe. We have just received our file ol the Loi don Wo Id" for June, and are hap py (o learn from several articles in us columns that our cause is awakening unusual interest in the British dominions. Mr Hewit, the Agent of the Ameiican Temperance Society has arrived in Lon lon. A great meeting has been held there for presenting this subject; and our Correspondent, author of Letters to the editor. &c under date of London 27ih July, savs hii labors in the Temperance cause have been abundant, acceptahle and successful Lectures are delivered on this subject in all the principa cities of the U Mte l Kingdom.

Piolessoi Ed far, of Dublin, gac a Lecture on the puociplcs of these societies, at the Field's Meeting-house, in Hounds ditch, to a very numerous assembly The Professor, commenced by adverting to the establishment of these societies in America, and the consequent decrease in the consumption of ard' nt spi its. ;md aUoMt crime.

In Scotland a U Ireland 60,000 members have been registered, in a year and a haif; the number in E'jland was not Jkn-rwo, but in Manchester alone, there were onwards of 2,000 members. The

preat principle was union, on the ground of a common practice, to abstain from ordent spirits; and the first object was to create a healthy state ol public opinion with regatd to intemperance The pro noters of these societies were not wedded to one plan; they could bear any opposition hut no indifference, and they were willing to addopt any better plan

that might bt: discovered, They were at with no particular profession; they desired the overthrow of no man's live'ihood; their sole business was truth; their sphce was mind their region con 6cicncc They disclaim all compulsory measures; their only weapons were abstinence and information, argument and example.

Some weeks ago, a person named Cunningham was tried ,kfor having in possession cer tain counterfeit notes of the President, Diiectors and Company of the Bmk ol the United States knowing the same to be foiged and with intent to utter " The counsel for the prisoner contended that the. indictment ought te be quashed, in as much as the document produced in evidence was not a note purporting to be o the United States Bank, but ot a mere

cluck, drawn by the Piesident of the B ancb Bank at iiOuisvil!e, countersigned by the Cashiei upon the principal Cashier of the Bank residing in Philadel phia It was agreed, hov. ever, iJ.at the case should be referred to 'he Ju-v, and the man was convicted His counsel then gave not ire 'hat they would move for an arrest of judgment and the case lay over till yesterday, when the motion was made, and the point argued and concluded this day when Mr Edward

King, in an eloquent and impressive speech, convinced the court that the in dictment had not been sustained, and the piisoner was liberated. Mr. King, in i is argument, showed most clearly that the Bank had not legal authority for putting into cireulation as Bank notes those checks that no note under one hundred dollars could be legally made payab.e to order that the

Bank is completely irresponsible for the pav ment of those checks that the Bank

had at two different sessions of Congress made application for authority to appoint

two additional officers to sign notes, as the President and Cashier could not sign

a sufiLiem number of notes for the cur

rency of the country that the request

was refused on the ground, that by mul

tiplying the signers of notes, facilities

woud be given to forgeries that not

withstanding Congress had refused to allow two additional signers, yet the Bank

had increased the nu-uber to 25 by the Presidents of the 24 Branches being au thorited by the Dit ectors to sign notes that this was an illegal stretch of power, unauthorized by the Charter or any other law aed finally, that there is no law of the state of Ohio for punishing any one
