Evidence ' 0us mirth of the reveler, or the profanity was adduced to prove that there had been and obscene conversation of the intemper ... I, . ... rioting ana arunKenness about tnetr pre- t(. mises; that men of intemperate habits had been supplied with liquor and had been intoxicated on their premises; that they had been furnished with liquor while in a atateof intoxication; that gaming had been carried on, upon their premie's, within their knowledge; and that liquor had been sold on the Sabbath day. Evi dence on the part of the applicants was adduced, that they were men of as good moral character, as men in general, and in the opinion ol many individuals, were well qualified to keep a tavern. The Court took the subject under ad visement for two days, considering it a verv important matter, as esfablishinj: a precedent lor future decisions on this sub ject. His Honor, Judge Price, gave an able and lucid decision, which was in substance us follows: When application is made, after due notice, lor the granting a tavern license, and the regular testimo ny of gold moral character, and suitable accommodations is given, and no remon strance is presented against the petition, the Court, as a general rule, will grant tfae prayer of the petitioners; lor the pre sumption is that there is no reasonable objections against the granting of it, Bnd that those who know the circumstance; fthe case, are satisfied (hat the estab lishment of a tavern is necessary, and (he applicant a suitable person to keep one Nor will the Court require any alrong (es timony as to its necessity . in a particular place, or consider the existence of other taverns, a sufficient reason for withhol ding the privilege to an applicant; as the effect of this would be to establish a mon opoly, to prevent competion, and to re strain the citizen in tho direction of his faculties and labors to an occupation by him selected, which can only be done bo 'far as the paramount interests of society, in health, good order, and sound morals require 'ft . But on the other hnnd, when applica tion being made, a remonstrance is pre sented against it by respectable freehol ders, and evidonce is addnced of any ri otous or disorderly conduct, profanity, sol ling spirituous liquor on the Sabbath, ex rent as in the statute excepted, catering to the appetites of the intemperate in nil such cases, the Gourl will decide dif ferently. They regard the situation of tavern keepers, ns one ol great importance, as effecting the morals of ihe community; for connected with their occupation and covered by their license, is generally the privilege of selling liquor by the drink, n nrivilea which a person unsuitable to keep a tavern, will, through a spirit of pain, pervert to the worst purposes, pro ducing effects alike fatal 'o the moral condition, mental powers, and pocuniary prospects of large masses of the commu mty .

A process of divesting milk of Its component portion of cream to an ex tent hitherto unattainable, has been effected by Mr. George Carter, ol Nottingham Lidge, and is thus de tailed by that gentleman, in a paper presented to the Society of Arts: A neculiar process of extracting cream from milk, by which a peculiar rich ness is produced in the cream, has long been known and practiced in Devonshire: this produce oi ine dairies of that country being well lenown to every one by the name of "clotted" or clouted cream."

Mr. Talcott was, as many of our road era may not be aware, for several rears ihe Attorney General of New York, and was considered by the members of the bar, asoneof its most distinguished or naments.

He was aware of it, and would converse and weep about it like a Child.

For this reason llio applicant must show clearly, that if any disorderly, profane, or riotous conduct has occurred on his premises, it was without bis knowledge or approbation and furthermore, that he hail exercised due caution, anu exeneu all the influence in his power to prevent it. It is not enough that he did not di rectly minister to it himself, or counte nance it by his presence,' but he must make it appear clearly that it Was not Irom a degree of carelessness or Indifference m to his duties as tavern keeper, that the evils occurred. This Courl therefore determined, that in future they will grant n license to no man, who under cover of it, seeks only o keep a dram shop, and lo pro'oct him self from indictment or who is proved to hae had on his premises, drunken ness, rioting, gambling, breaches of the peace, or minwttrod to the appetites cf intemperate, or who has permitted pro fanity, gross indecency, or the violation af the Sabbath, hv selling ardent spirits, except in the ense excepted by the slat lite. And the Court are of the opinion in the cases before them, that the evidence clearly proves the applicants to have been negligent in these particulars, ..nd they do therefore refuse to renew tholr licenses to keep tavern.
