Mr John Green, Mr Bland, Mr Baker, Mr S. Thomas, and Mr Henry Davies. THE COUNCIL AND THE GAS COMMISSRONERS. The Town Clerk said a copy of the opinion of Coun- sel taken by the Gas Commissioners had been received by him that day, but he had not had time to examine it. The opinion had be-in carefully examined by Mr William Davies and Mr Bowen Rowlands. The Town Clerk also read the following resolutions parsed by the Gas Commissioners at their last meeting: 1 hat having taken the opinion of the highest authority, this meeting resolves that a copy thereof he forwarded to the Town Council, and that the suggestion made to incur the further expense of a joint opinion, be respectfully de- clined as being unnecessary.' That the ti-M Commissioners respectful y suggest that they believe an arrangement might be made, by which both bodies might act in harmony, the Gas Com- missioners contracting to light the town on terms to be agreed upon. and. the bondholders being paid interest as heretofore by the Gas Commissioners.1 The Town c1,erk also drew attention to certa/in clauses of the Public Health Act. 187;"», showing the powers of the LlJcal government Board in relation to local acts, and stated that it appeared to him clear that at least some of the powers of the Commissioners were transferred to the Council, but as to the rest there were certain doubts and difficulties, some legal gentlemen being of opinion that the whole of the powers were vested in the Council. To solve those doubts and to get over the difficulties, the best advice he could offer was that the Council make application to the Local Government Board asking them to make an order. A Ion? discussion took place, after which Mr John James moved the following resolution That appli- cation be made to the Local Government Board. set- tin" forth the doubts and differences which have arisen between the Council, as the Urban Sanitary Authority of Haverfordwest, and the Commissioners for carrying into effect, the Act for Paving and Lighting, and other- wise improving the Town of Haverfordwest, as to the extent to which th" power-, rights, duties, capacities, liabilities, debts, obligations, and property of the Com- missioners, under the same Act, are affected by the Public Health Acts, 1372, 1874, and 1875, or any or either of them, and Trying the Board to mfue au order under Section iVH of the Public Health Act 1875, for settling such doubts and differences, and to make such further or other order in the matter as the Board may think fit.' Mr W. Daviee seconded the motion, which was carried. VACANT SEATS.

At a later hour in the evening Mr Lichore intimated that the main object for which the meeting assembled: was the presentation of a testimonial to Mr Samn-jl Thomas, and to afford a hearty welcome to Mrd Thomas and himself on their retnrn home. He ob- served that Mr Thomas was one of the first friends with whom he became acquainted when he came to Haverfordwest. Before be decided on becoming a resident among them, Mr Thomas bad fully ex- plained to him the nature and circumstances of the Church, and he felt hound to state that his subse- quent experience proved that Mr Thomas had given him a faithfal acsoant of everything connected with the Chnrch and congregation. He spoke in hi^h terms of the invaluable services rendered to the church and Sunday School by Mr Thomas, more f-s- pecially in connection with the work of restoringjthe I chapel, which it was not too much to say, would not a have been accomplished without his unfiling and I energetic uff >rt?. All the speakers united in similar j '¡ expressions of their hifth appreciation of the services ] of Mr Thomas, and their earnest wishes for 'ha I future prosperity of Mrs Thomas and himself. The f ie?trmonial consisted of a very handsome timepiece i in white and gold, mounted on a neat marble slab nnd enclosed by a glass shade. It contained the following inscription on P. silver plate set in white (i marble: "Presented to Mr Samnel Thomas, by the t,achers and friends of the Tabernacle Sunday. I Sohool, Haverfordwest, Oct 6, 1875." At the same lime was presen'e(l'hii:follùwing address, beautifully illuminated- and mounted in a gilt frame: j Presented to Mr Simuel Th< mis together with a time-piece, by the teachers and! friends of the Tabernacle Sunday School 11.\1 a token of their heartfelt esteem and respect, and in appreciation of the nniform kindness of manner, diligent zaal, and kinaly consideration which have characterised his ten years of office as superintendent of the School. Signed on behalf of the subscribers, J. H. Lochore, Samuel Taylor." The engrossing and illumination of the address were the joint wotk of Mr and Mra Munroe. B >th the design and execution of the illumination showed great taste and skill. The presentation being ever iNIrThnmss thanked his friends in an appropriate cyeech fol' this wnexpeoted and hearty assurance of their respect and good feeling. Amongthe teachers who took a prominent part in gettiugup the testi- monial were Miss Bnbards, Miss Evans, and Miss ) Lochore. j RKFI SINO DUTY oN BOARD SHIP.—Three sailors] were charged last week before Messrs. J. II. Harvey add 0. E. Davies, with refusing duty on board 1 he briz Adrian," then lying in MtUord Haven. Cap" tain David Lloyd, master, proved the charge, and said the vessel was bound to Charlestown. The men gave as their reason for refusiug duty that tht vessel' was undermanned. T. U. Mason, Esq., the owner, i gave evidence to the effect that the men had signed an agreement to proceed in the ship with a crew of I seven men, and as there were now eight on hoard, j the ship had more than her complement. Mr. Kel- way, of Milford, proved that eight men were an I ample crew for a vessel of that size. The owner in- formed the magistrates that, he did not. wish a severe puni-hment, alt hough he had been put to great in- convenience and expense. The magistrates com- J mitted them to prison tor six weeks with hard J labour.

't1 I: V i 'f w!; 3 de- ? to; Jills, I aad Court, # the wans Complainant had gone from time to time to resume hia work, but was as repeatedly refused admittance up to September lltb, upon which day Jenkins, the gatekeeper, told him he had orders to keep them out of the yard. The Bench ordered payment of. the amount claimed, with costs, including advocate's fee. There was a precisely similar case of Frederick Handley against the company, which arose out of the same transaction as in thelpreoeding casp, where complainant claimed wages, E3 17s 81. The defen- dantfl were ordered to pay the amount and costs as j in the former action. ASSAULT.—John Thomas, belonging to Pembroke, but now resident at Haverfurdwest, was sent to gaol for seven days, for kicking his mother on the 271,b nit. STEALING A LEAD SALTER."—John Hiller Jncob, Lammaston Farm, charged, Jacob Devote, marine store dealer, East End, Pembroke, with having stoleu, on the 4th inst., a lead salter of the valne of 1 7-i 61.

It ippeared that on the day in question a sale ot tnt itock, implementa, and effects was held at I ammap son, upon which occasion the defendant bought a tin milk-cooler and tresselsfor 5->, that he left this behino iind took away instead the lead salter, which Mr Jacob swore most positively never had been put up for sale, "nd was not catalogued in the sale book (produced) amongst the articles, every article sold being entered and properly described therein. This was corrobo- rated by Mr R. Williams, check clerk. The Bench gave the defendaut the benefit of the doubt, and dis- missed the charge. PROHIBITKI) HOURS.—H. Banner, Swan Ion, Pen- nar, was charged with keeping his house open during prohibited hours, at 10 a.m. on Sunday, the 26th ult. Police-constable John said he visited the bouse at the time stated, aud found the dcor open, and a man named Evan Phillips at the bar counter D6- fanlant said the man had come there to buy apples but he bad nothing to drink. In reply to the Bench, Superintendent Thomas said that he had no previous complaint against the house, which was well-con- ducted. Fined 10s and costs 6s; an(J.Evan Phillip-, for being present in the hon-e, was fined 2s and costs 61.—Thomas B-irry was charged with keeping his house, the Bombay Hotel, Pembroke Dock, open for the sale of neer at 11.30 on the night of the 25th ult. Police-sergeant Francis visited the house, and found there three civilians and three soldiers of the 95th Regiment. The case was fully proved. Mr Super- intendent Thomas said he mn4 press for an endorse- ment of the licence in this instance, as the police bad a deal of trouble with the house, which w badly conducted, and the landlord had been convicted on a similar charge on October 24th, 1874.

PEMBROKE TOWN COUNCIL. A meeting of this council was held at the court-room, Victoria Hotel, on Tuesday afternoon. There were present: Mr W. Williams (mayor), Alderman W. John, S. Jenkins, W. Hughes, and R. Haines Coun- cillors E. Thomas. M. Nicholson. R. George, J. Beddoe, J. Powell, J. Lewis, S. Sketch, W. J. Davies, W. Phillips, E. Gibby, E. Tracey, J. Miller, and G. Froyne. MARKET BYE-LAWS. Mr Hulm at the request of the chairman, produced a draft copy of the bye-laws relating to the market, and to the tolls to be demanded in the borough. Mr J. Powell said these bye laws, after being ap- proved of by the council, would have to be forwarded for the sanctiou of the Local Government Board, and afterwards a month's notice of them would have to be tfiven publicly before tolls could be levied,so it behoved them to have the bye-laws examined and put in force aa speedily as possible. After a brief discussion, it was proposed by Alder- man John, and seconded by Mr W. J. Davies, that the bye-laws should be immediately referred to the committee appointed for the purpose, of whom the mayor was chairman.. BOROUGH SDRVETOR. Mr Sketch said that at the last meeting he had given notice as to an alteration in the appointment of borough surveyor & inspector of nuisances. He was of opinion that the offices of inspector of nuisances for the borough and the inspector of nuisances under the ) port sanitary authority should be merged in the same person. Hitherto the office of sanitary inspector had been held by the surveyor, but if the sanitary inspec- tor and the port sanitary inspector were placed con- jointly in one office it would be better, and if it were carried out he would propose that for this purpose a sum of £ 10 per year should be taken off the salary of the inspector of nuisances, leaving it :E:M) a year, and £10 added to the salary of the port sanitary inspector, raising it to JE25 per year, making a total of JM5 per annum as the salary for the person conjointly holding both offices, and there was no doubt that this re^ numeration would be sufficient for a man to discharge the duties efficiently and faithfully, and he would, therefore, propose that at their next meeting they should proceed to elect a man to the offices named. Mr W. J. Davies fully coincided with Mr Sketch that both offices should be in one; but be thought they might make the salary £ 30for each, and a total of £ 60 however, he would second Mr Sketch's propo- sition as it stood. Several members bore testimony to the efficiency with which Mr Ladd had discharged his duties, and a proposition made by Mr Phi lips, that matters remain as they are, Was carried. COLLECTOR. A lengthy discussion took place on the question of the appointment of a collector. The matter was eventually adjourned for further consideration to the next meeting. PROPOSED ENLAROEMBNT OF THE COUNCIL CHAMBPS Mr. E. Tracey said that lie had given notice of his intention of introducing the subject of having the council chamber at Pembroke enlarged. The mar- ket was now being rebuilt, and as the roof of the market would abut upon the council chamber, the expense of raising the coupling roof between would be of comparatively small expense. A discussion ensued generally favourable to the alteration suggested by Mr. Tracey, and eventually his Worship suggested that Alderman John, with another gentleman, and the surveyor, be requested to confer with the contractor for the market, and ascertain what can be done, the cost not to ex.ceed £ 50.. This concluded the principal business ot tne day when the meeting was adjourned.

SAINT ISSELS. 1 H ah VEST THANKSGIVING SERVICES.-This annual service was held in the parish church on Wednesrlav evening, the 6th inst. The Rev. J. Dalton Vicar read the prayers and lessons, and the Rev. Archdeacon Lewis, of Lampeter Velfrey, preached an impressive 1 se™°° to a crowded audience.

LA.UGHARNE. PORTREEVE'S BREAKFAST.—On Sunday morning the corporation of this ancient borough, in accordance with a time-honoured custom, assembled by invita- tion, at the Town-hall, to breakfast with the worthy Portreeve, Mr Thomas Davies, who for the second time in succession enters upon his offioial duties. Upwards of 40 responded to the invitation, among whom were the Rev. J. W. W. Ribinson, Messrs. S. S. Davies, J. Muscott, II. Muscott, T. J. Morgan, Evan Parry, J. Hugh, &e. The repast beim; over, the corporation headed by their Portreeve, proceeded in procession to the parish churoh of St. Martin Divine service was conducted throughout by the R»v J. W. W. Robinson, curate, who preached an earnest and powerful sermon to ItJl unusually large congre- gation, founded upon the Gospel for the day, St. Matthew 22, verso 7.

He it was who bequeathed to tht- lown their present estates.

ON BOARD THE SERA PIS. All I can Sity is, we were disappointed. It is not a bit like what I expected to see and although the hideous great white thing may be a very comforuoie troop ship, she is certainly a very ungainly and comfort- less kind of yacht to transport royalty why, why wasn't the Victoria and Albert sent? Tuere would have been heaps of room on board her for every- body. Of course you know that the Sarapis, like the Crocodile, Euphrates, and some others, is painted white but in order that the Indian natives, whom we are about to amaze with the sight of an EDglisb prince, may not mistake the Serapin for an ordinary trooper," she has a gold riband round her sidell nine inches wide. Unluckily, gold on white doesn't show any distance off, and when one is close to it the whole effect cannot be realised, as the ship is such a terrible length-over four hundred feet I was told. However it is hoped that the Hindoos will be lieve this monster moulding is solid gold. The stern of the ship has some decorations apropos of the visit, and the bow bears the motto of the Star of India, I: Heaven's Light our Guide." Oo either side of the dining room are the Prince's private apartments—small sitting room, dressing room, bed- room, and bath room-in the order named. These are fitted with all kinds of oak furniture, and, oddly enough, with a brass bedstead, surrounded by a eaD- opy of red and white drapery. The starboard side is fitted up in an exactly similar manner, with dupli- cate lurniture, even to the A. E's and ostrich feathers, and this side will be occupied by his Royal Highness on his homeward trip. Why one set of furniture would not have done I cannot think, un- less there really is to be a profit made out of the sale of things when it is all over. On the poop is a deck house, for a smoking and lounging room. The poop deck and quarter deck are covered with fioor- cloth, but doesn't look very ship like, although the pattern is an imitation of the irrepressible oak in planks.—The Queen.

THE SUSPECTED MURDER OF A SWEET- HEART. Some additional facts have become known with respect to the case wherein James Millard has been taken in charge, near Hustings, on suspicion of I having murdered his sweetheart, Emily Hodge, by throwing her into the moat at B idiam Castle, Sue- sex. The prisoner, it seems, had known the de- ceased for nearly twelve months, but had only been Courting her three weeks. The girl was missing on the night of the 20th of last month, and her body was found in the moat of the Costle a week after- wards. The police arrested Millard in consequence of certain information which they did not learn until Saturday, When conveyed to the lock up the pri- soner declared he was innocent. On the night the girl was last seen alive, Mrs Hester Bryant, who haa a house a little distance from the castle, and several neighbours heard loud screams which appeared to he those of a female, at about eleven o'clock, pro- ceeding from the direction of the moat. Messrs. Bryant states that although she was alarmed by the screams she did not go out to know what was the matter. She thought the noise came from one of the women who were engaged in the hop grounds. About an hour after the occurrence Millard called at a house occupied by a groom named Goldsmith, near Bodiam, and stated that he did not know where the deceased was. In answer to questions which Goldsmith put to him, he said, In coming through a meadow to night she (deceased) cried, and said to me that her miatreso had locked her out, and that if it had not been for me it would not have happened. We had some words in the meadow and I walked on leaving her behind." When asked if he did not go after her, he replied that when he found she did not come on he went back to get hisovercoat which he had lent her, it being a cold «« pftnld nnr find her. The accused was we*'ing the coat himself when Goldsmith saw him. He stated that he found the coat hanging over a style, close to the lue where he left the decease]. Dr Taylor, who was called to see the deceased, sives it as his opinion that the cau3e of doath was drowning, and that when the body was discovered, life had apparently been extinct from five to six davs. Mrp. Adams stated that as she wag going up to bed at tweaiy minutos past nine o'clock, she hoird the ^goeased rattle the latch of the street door, bnt her Shnicsion was refused. Deceased then called out, won't let me in> me my hat and jacket." Mrs Adams appears to have taken no no- tice of this, and retired for the night, leaving the f poor girl to do Mtie btf.* she could. What became of her after this is told by a Mrs Fanny Glazier, wife of a labourer living about a mile from the girl's place of employment. About twenty minutes past ten^ o'clock, Mrs Glazier sMtBs the deceased came tu her I house without hat or jtoket. She was then istc-.ai- pany with Millard. The girl appeared crlst and begged for the loan of a hat and jacket.. (r,a- GfA- zier appears to have Rhown'compassion towards her, ^od leathery sat, but was ^wable to acoom- her with a jacket. Milla.mi left the house with her, and she tfcen- h!-r, overcoat. The prisoner Millard, wV with the mur- der, stated that the girl aai d go and make away with herself.

It. was tantalising to me, at all II events, to see a porsjiiing waiter pass by every morning, borne down by the w.ti; of a sumpto-n breakfast for the "first clv<s misdemeanint." It was apsgravatim; to se>» the same waiter cmying in an equally sumptou* di-ioer, aud it was more than (l aggrava'ing to watch the wanh-r, bearing in daily a „ bottleof wine, to make the dinner more paUta'dp. r We ought to have been very pious, hilt. I aill afraid t we were not. We were marched in single file to ( chapel every mornmg, under th iharRe of a warder, v and huddled together in a pew. The Colonel had a h pew to himself, and walked out with the Governor, iagftyooavamtion, daily. A.t. ohioel w* had the „ daily opportunity of seeing Mr Henry Waiuwii^ht t I Just now he is the he,o with t,h^ inhabitants of iHorgemonger-lane. People wh > w»uld'nt go to chapel otherwise go to chapel to see him. Heads are daily stretched over the p"Ws to catch a single glimpse of him his demeanour, the changes of biil t appearance, every detail of his life, all the hideous I miantieeofhia supposed crime am rldly disoussel. To speak the truth of him, J:\Ir W linw ight be irs the ( ordeal of daily scrutinv bravely. He knows that he is w ttchod, and he fea.rlei\8\Y returns the glances of curiosity. He, too, beiag just now a celebrity is aI, lotted a seat to himielf. A gentlemanly-looking man, he is a bit of a dandy even in orison. His clothes are scrupulously brushed, his linen is spot- lessly white-and he takes cire to show it,— his lux- uriant hair and beard are daiutily combed and trim- med. He joins in the service with the apparent fer- vour of a devout man. Those who have seen him daily since his arrest say that he is changing won- derfully. Even during my brief sojourn tho change was visible. Ho had some colour ia his face. But, except the deepening anxiety, there is no sign of guilt or fear. We knew h > v hR spent his time, too. Every day from 11 to 12 our iron cige was filled, for we were watchifig for the appearance of a female figure in black, which daily pissed in and out of the prison gates. TniR wis Mrs Wainwright—a pale- faced, troubled-looking woman. She is not permitted to see her husband alone, nor even t > shake hands witlS the man in whose innocence she professes full belief. He stands in his close cell, and she can only speak to him through an iron grating. Sh9 oinnot even hand him a letter everything he is permitted to receive must come through the hands of a warder. The short half-hour's conversation is generally about family matters—about the children, who have not seen their father since their arrest. Tbe brave little woman, too, cheers the imprisoned man with hope- ful words. Wainwright is an omniverous reader of newspapers and books—of whioh he ha« always a good supply. He does not talk to tho officials, nor, I indeed, to anyone, save his wife and solicitor. He has one privilege which I had not. He can support himself, and does so. From a coffee-house outside the prison preoiocts he receives three substantial meals per diem and is even allowed to drink beer We (the debtors), on the contrary, goffered from as severe|i Mtin Law as even Sir Wilfred Lawson would wish to impofee.

ENGLAND AND CHINA. The tnhin Gazette publishes an edict enjoining the proper treatment of foreigners in China. The main points of the demands made by Mr Wade uoon the Chinese Government, including tho punishment of the murderers of Mr M irgary, have not yet, however, been conceded, a11.1 tin prospeot of a satisfactory settlement still Appears doubtful. The Times of Welnesday says -A telegram from our Shanghai Oorre poudent. whioh xpoearod in our Edition of yesterday, stites that th. Chinese Govern- ment has published in the II Pekin Guze'te" an edict giving the ministers of foreign 0 mutries a rinht to c »mmunicate directly with the Chief of the De- partments of State. This concession shows, at least, that tha Imperial Government is much more anxious to keep on good terms with us than it has been in the past seasons of trouble. In some degree, how- ever, the value of the edict will depend upon the terms in whioh it is expressed. If the Chinese Minis- ters have followed their traditional praotioe, they may have hidden the new sil,(11 of surrender under pom- poua phrases of condescension, to make the people believe t.h*t, this country iR merely a suppliant for favour. We must assume, h >wever. that Mr Wade has not allowed himself to b~> put off with ao custo- mary a piece of ounning, and that he has insisted on the nse of plain language. On the other hand, it would be an error of policy as well all a wanton act of bullying to humiliate the vainest Government in the eyes of the vainest people, and Mr Wade knows the character of the nation to well to be guilty of such a blunder. So accomplished a Chinese scholar is perfectly well able to point out a form of words which, without being insnlting, would let.the people see the real relations between the two Governments. All we have any right to allk ia safety for oar ooan- trymen, freedom to trade, and the fulfilment of the rights given by Treaty. If we can mike the Chinese understand that these rights are not incompatible with their national self-respect, we shall greatly smooth oar diplomatic intercourse with the Govern- ment.

DISCOVERY OF !A CORPSE IN A HAYLOFT AT ABERGAVENNY. At about eleven o'clock on Sitarday tho body of a man was found in a hayloft at Highmead Farm, Hardwicke, by Jas Morgan, stepson, of Mr Jno. Francis, who occupies the farm. For several days something disagreeable had been smelt, and the little boy Morgan went up to see what it was. On getting into the loft he found the body of a man frightfully decomposed. The body was not then re- cognised, bnt has since been identified as that of ( JQO. Francis, a labourer, who had been working on the farm during the harvest. Deceased was last seen on tbe 3rd of October, when he called at the house of John Prichard, a field's breath from the farm. He re- mained there from 2 in the afternoon until 8 in the 'I evening, & while there stated ho was going to work for Mr Watkins, Llanvetherine. The police have made active inquiries, but have not been able to trace de- ceased after that time, and tbe supposition is that he went to the hayloft to sleep on the night of the 3rd, and died there. He was perfeotlv sober when seen by the Pritohards on Sunday the 3rd inst. One side of the face was entirely eaten away by vermin, and portions of the body had suffered in a similar manner. The body was removed to tbe workhouse, and a jury, with Mr Thomas Price as foreman, was sworn in, who viewed the body. The inquest was then adjourned.

MB. AHMED KENEALY AND HIS BILL- STICKER. At the Hartlepool oounty-court on Friday, Mr. Abmed Kenealy was summoned by William IIder- ton, billposter, for the snm of f7. for billposting during the recent election for the Hartlepools. After the plaintiff had proved his claim and shown that both Dr. Kenealy and his son, the candidate. had been in his (Ilderton's) honse, and ordered tha bills to be posted, a letter addressed to the judge y the defendant, who.did not appear, was read, me letter, which commenced with, I hope you wil ex- cuse me for the liberty of addressing you, quoted the second section of the Aot of 26th Vict., cap, 29, by which the agent of the candidate, and not the candidate himself, w s the person who could legally be sued.—The Registrar of the Court informed the judge that Dr. Kenealy was tho agent for his son but there was no advertisement of tho fact don, notice had been given of any sueh « and no .h.

EXTRAORDINARY CHARGE OF BIGAMY. At Greenwich on Mondav, Samuel French, of ^ard-atreet, Deptford, boilermaker, was oharged with intermarrying with Ada Emma Wood, his first wife, Hepzebah, being then and still living. —It ap- peared that in January, 1857 the prisoner was mar- ried at St. George's, Southwark, to Hepzebah Thompson, who now attended, and stated that it was an unknown marriage, and had been performed by her giving a wrong name, her name being Roberts and not Thompson. About six months afterwards they parted, thinking the marriage was invalid. During the 14 years they had been sep&r- j ated from each other she had only once seed him, I that *as eight years ago. The certificate of thfc i second marriage, in December, 1873, at St. Mary's I Rotherbitbe, was produced. The prisoner, when "appretended at his work at the Isle of Dogs, on j hetuirg the charge, denied that he had been mar- iiedk .0 Wood.Mr. Patteron remanded tbe prisoner •] [foethe attendance of the Witnesses present at each tlsurmge. DR. KENEALY AT SONDES,LAND.—Dr. Kenealy § on Monday night addressed meeting in Vic n toria Hall, Sunderland. He said his object in com- ing to the north was twofold—first to convince the 'people that the man in Dartmoor Prison way Sir Roger Ticb'iorne, and secondly to give his opinion .f to the best way of getting him out. As Dr. Kenaaly proceeded the ironical cheers and interruptions be- came so loud and frequent that he had to msume his I seat for several minutes. Ou comparative quietness Tj beiug restored he related how his supporters at Mer- -1 thyr blackened the eyes of his tormentors, and asked Jj was there no one in the room who would blacken the eyes of the half-dozen miserable ruffians who were C1 disturbing the mooting? The hint not being saifi- an cient he told how his supporters at. Croydon made i more bleeding noses in a few minutes than many a w man bad seen in his life. A labouring man then VV called on his friends to "ctcur out the wretches" I 0' The challenge was at once accepted, and a furious oualaugbt was made on a number of young gentle men,, who defended themselves with their wulkin^ I ( sticks for about 15 minutes, when they were beaten i So out oi the ball. The doctor theu delivered a eharae- j M teri.tic addrewj> which clicked more laughter than i m applause. I

KAID ON A BETTING HOUSE. t Considerable excitement was oreatod in Wigan on I rues lay J)i¡.;ht by the police pouncing upon a well- r mown betting honse in thll town and marching the vh de of the oc inpants to the polioe-cells. A staff )f detective and polioe-oo'istables, tires.,ed in plain •1 <thes, and armed with a warrant, proceeded to the 31obe Inn, Hall gate, shortly before five o'clock, and [ ?otered a room full of people set liug accounts over ;he Ce*a<-evviioh S akef. The arrival of the officers >f th? law occi-ioned great alarm, and books ami i papers were thrown a vay or tried t., be bidden, hot as them was a strong force of police, all in the room, to the number of II;, with the landlord, were takou into eustoi.y, ani will be brought before the borough magistrates. (The prisoners were liberated on hall at a late hour. VERY PARTICULAR -C,(Fli,lilaiii atates that a rich and eccentric Belgian residing atVeirnoud (Aisat") lately wrote to his relatives to come and too a o J'\t he had ordered. They, imagininu the invitution meant a breakfa- went, and were astonished to see a se- ries of o wnioh the original was trying after the other. He had caused thorn to he made by a number of diffnrent. joiners. At last bo found one which suited him, laid down in it, took some poison am* expired suddenly. Tne annual meeting of the Uaited Kingdom Alli- ance for tho SlIppresllion of the Liquor Truffii* was held at Minohester on Tuesday. Mr B. Whit wot h, U.P., presided, in the sbseooe of Sir Walter C. TM- velyan, who sent a letter, exp^estoug a hope that tbf new liber-tl programme would inolude a measure whioh would lead to the liberation of the people frotu the most debasing thraldom under which they had been held by the drink trsffio." Mr Gladstone wro'e a letter in whiClh he maid ,hit, having a strona (t-Ftiro to abate hy every logit,,tu to meaus the evil of intern pt-Jflmoe," ho regretted that he could not attend the meeting. It appears that a considerable amount of interest has beeu awakened in conneetion with the proposal to erect a third lunatic asylum for the county of Surrey aurt, it being a moot point of whether a new asylum like that of Wtudt.vorth or Broukwood should be provided, or an establishment formed on the model of the Caterham institution for a deputation of the Croydon board of guardians have inspeo ed the latter establishment and have issued a report with respect to thoir-visit. They detail the arrangements of the asylum, which they refer to as one of the largest institutions of the kind in the kingdom and speak of those arrangements as being such as private establishments for the treatm mt of the lunacy would do well to imitate. Au orphanage in the village of EsFi-ndon, about five mil >s from the aonnty town of Hertford, has been destroyed by fire. In the establishment, which had existed a comparatively short time, between 40 an i 50 young lads were fed, clothed, and educated, aud fortunately they were rescued from the burning building without receiving any injury. The Cesarewitch Trial handicap at Newmarket was won by Mr. Sivilo's Velveteen, who beat La C mreuse by five lengths. Mr. H. Baltazzi secured the selling Welter with Blanchette, and the Ptateot JE100 with John Day, but his representative, Venfnor, in the Burwell Stakes, was cleverly de- feated by Trappist. Twine the Plaidea followed up her previous successes by securing the Post Sweep- stakos for Mr B Iwell, and in the First Welter Julian beat Eve, luglewood Ranger, and eleven others in a canter. In the Sjurry Nursery Electra proved the winner. The chaige of fraud against Mr. John A. Ham ilton, who was at one time an Offioer in the 2d West India Regiment, has been further inquired into at the Hammersmith Pohoe-court. It was proved that although the defendant had but a very small balance at hlB agent's, he drew on them a cheque for £15,000 which he offered in part tt..$mout for an es- tate that was sold to him for £ 336,000. After that cheque was dishonoured, be drew another for £105 which forms the subject of the present charge. The mtu William Walsh, who is charged with having broken into a hoise at Edmonton, in whiih there were only two ohillreu, stands committed for trial. At the final examination the elder of them gave evidence which was borne out, by the statement of a neighbour, who with his two br others went to their assistance and succeeded in seouring one of the housebreakers though the other attem.1 ted a rescue bv very violent means. THE SOUTHALL MuRDEB.—Short!y after mid-day on Saturday the Governor of Newgate received an official message from tbe Home Office containing the reaoite of the two condemned men Joseph Stone- s'reet and Joseph Driukwater, who were lying at Newgate under sentence of death for the murder of a woman unknown, at Southall, 00 the 28th of July last. It is said that the prisoners received the in- telligence with much joy. The final examination of Henry and Thoma- Wainwright, as principal and accessory ill the sup- posed murder of Harriet Lane or King, at Whites chapel, was held at the Southwark potice court on Wednesday. The principal evidence was that of M. Cuabot, who was called to prove a similarity between the handwriting of Thomas Wainwright and that used in letters which had been produced in the course of the hearing. This closed the case for the prosecution, and the depositions having been read over, Henry Wainwright was committed for trial on the capital charge, and his brother for criminally aiding him after the alleged deed had been com- mitted. It is considered possible that the latter may yet be charged with the substantive offence. THE NEW ACT ON PARLIAMENTARY ELECTIONS (RE- TURNING OFFICERS).—On the lat instant the new law to regulate the expenses and to oontrol the charges" of returning officers at Parliamentary elections took effect, and will continue in force until the end of the year 1880. It is to be construed as one with the B illot Act, and to apply to England and Ireland. The charges to be allowed to returning officers at eleotions are set forth in the Bohedules, and the amount of security to be given. They are moderate in amount, and will considerably reduce the expenses of candidates. The ballot boxes used at municipal and School Board elections may be hired at an expenoe of 5s eaoh, and only £ 7 7s. is to be paid for a polling station with two compartments. The candidates are to be furnished with the accounts within 21 days of the return of the writ, and the same maybe "taxed" within 14 days. AU claims against returning officers are to be made 14 days after the election. In the City of London the Mayor's Court is to tax the bill when required, and in England the County Court of the district. In future the charges of candidates will be reasonable, and in no case aie to exceed the Bums mentioned in schedules.
