,The Gale. 1
The Gale. 1 The Press Association's Berwick correspondent I telegraphs The gale has much moderated here, but the weather is still very bad. TheAnkauthe, which went ashore yesterday, has been smashed to matchwood. The Freya, which is ashore on Spittal Beach, is high and dry, almost touching the cliffs, and with better weather may be removed from her dangerous position. The Tweed is still running at a great height. A num- ber of cattle have been drowned, and sheaves of corn are still floating down the river. Damage has been done to houses at Eyemouth, and to fishing boats at Cockburnspath. A small vessel was wrecked at Budle, on the North- umberland coast, last night, but her name is not known. A heavy storm passed over Dover during last night, accompanied by lightning. The Press Association's South Shields corres- pondent telegraphsThe north-east gale con- tinues to-day off the Tynewith increased violence, accompanied by a continuous downpour of rain. The sea is exceedingly high, and several English and foreign vessel., are running into the Tyne for shelter. A large number of vessels remain weather-bounu at Shields. Shipping Casualties. A Lloyd's telegram says The German schooner Concordia, from Marseilles for Guaya- quil, went ashore on the Falkland Islands, and is probably a total wreck. Part of the cargo has been saved in good order. The captain and mate were lost. The British ship City of Benares, from Antwerp to San Francisco, put into Falk- land Islands, the crew being refractory. A tele- gram from North Berwick states that the Sophie and Rebuitz, supposed to be the Rebuitz, from Riga, are ashore, the latter being a total wreck. Both crews were saved. The British steamer Wildcroft put bnck to Bombay, with shaft broken and propeller lost 500 miles from Bombay. The steamer Prince of Wales, from the Isle of Man. struck the pierhead whilst docking at Birkenhead, damaging her bow plates and twisting her stem. The schooner Minerva, from Workington for Coleraine, laden with coals, is ashore at Strangford Lough, but will float next tide. Crew are safe. The steamer Hallett,which stranded on the South Pier at Warkworth yester- day, has become a total wreck, and parted in three pieces. The body of the mate was found this morning..
The Newport Explosion.I
The Newport Explosion. I REPORT OF THE INSPECTORS. The report has been issued by Mr Mansel Jones and Col. Majendie, her Majesty's Inspector of Ex- plosives. who held an investigation into the nature and causes of the accident to the steamship Tancarville, of London, in the dry dock at Newport, Monmouthshire, on May 11 last. The Tanca-rville was an iron screw vessel, and was built at Stockton-on-Tees in 1889. She was built especially for carrying petroleum oil in bulk. and had been employed in carrying crude petroleum from Philadelphia to Havre. On April 20 the vessel arrived at Newport, and repairs were begun on the ship. In consequence of the leakage of the oil in the tanks a great deal of riveting had to be undertaken. For this purpose portable forges were placed on the upper deck, and in one com- partrnent of a tank a portable lamp was used. During the progress of the work an explosion occurred, by which five workmen were killed and others seriously injured. After examining in detail the cause of the explosion and possible sources of ignition, the in- spectors for the Board of Trade conclude their report by stating that the accident was due to the ignition and explosion of a quantity of petroleum vapour in admixture with atmospheric air accumulated in and about the ballast tank, but it was impossible to state to what cause tho ignition was due. The reporters also add that in many respects the constructive details of the vessel were defective, that the bal- last tank was not a suitable place for the convey- ance of oil, and that no steps had been taken to cleanse and ventilate the water-balla-st tank and adjoining spaces. In their opinion an amendment of tho law was urgently called for to enable proper regulations, general and local, to be made for the conveyance of petroleum, whether mineral oil or mineral spirit, and whether in barrel or in bulk. Power should be reserved to a central authority (as the Board of Trade) to make general regulations deal- ing with what may be distinguished as common risks and general precautions. The methods of cleansing and ventilating petroleum vessels should also be carefully investigated.

THE WRECK OF A GREAT SiNGER The Menc&lrel give;, a sad account of the state of Madame Trebelli's health. Her last appear- ance in public at Copenhagen was painiiii to witness. She had to be supported by two persons on to the stage, and her voice wa.s but the ghost of that splendid organ once the finest operatic contralto heard on the boards since A!bond's retirement. We understand that Madame Tre- belli has now definitely bidden adieu to a calling of which she was for so many years a distin- guished ornament.—Daily Graphic.

GardiffLicensingSessionsI
GardiffLicensing Sessions I THE ADJOURNED MEETING. I The adjourned Licensing Seesions for the borough of Cardiff was held in the Crown Court, Town Hall, Cardiff, this morning. The magis- trates on the Bench were Dr H. J. Paine (chair- man), Mr L. M. Browne (Deputy-Stipendiary and legal assessor), Alderman J. Cory, Alderman D. Jones, Alderman Jacobs, Alderman Sanders, Major Sloper, Sir Morgan Morgan, Mr Lewis Williams, Mr J. W. Vacheil, Mr R. Bird, Mr R. Cory, and Mr Rees Jones. There were present the deputation representing the Temperance party, beaded by Mr E. Beavan, and a large number of solicitors. Renewal of Licenses. I The Magistrates' Clerk said the magistrates had decided to renew all the old licenses except those agaiist which notices of objections had been given. Mr Gerhold (chairman of the Licensed Victual- lers' Association) said, as a ratepayer, and also as the representative president of the Licensed Victuallers' Association of Cardifi-an association established under the Incorporated Societies Act fer a great number of years-he wished to point out that out of the total number of license holders of the town more than 215 were members of the Associa- tion. Their object was the better conduct of the trade. All the proprietors and managers of the principal hotels had joined their associations, and where anything was required likely to be beneficial to the trade they as a body would be the last to oppose anything that came as a suggestion from the Bench and police authorities for the better conduct of the trade. They did protest, however, against the wholesale mannot in which their opponents painted them black. They were not all black, and they could point to men engaged in their trade who had been raised to the highest distinction possible—one gentle- man receiving the freedom of the town, and who was both a wholesale and retail dealer. So far as the Association was concerned, he was pleased to say the Bench had dealt with the only black case" on their list, and that there were no other members of their Association on the black list. They wished to urge that where in the magis- trates' opinion the licensed houses were too numerous they would give the holders an oppor- tunity of removing to some outlying district where such facilities would come as a boon. The Chairman remarked that he regretted the memorial presented at the opening sessions had been read, as it was irregular, and should have been taken as read, and would then not have opened the way for irregular proceedings. He was merely speaking his own views, but he believed no one in town would take a more proper view of the question than himself. Proceeding, he said there was no man in the town who took a broader and more proper view of the question Mr Gerhold had just expounded, and no man who felt that a properly-conducted house was a. convenience more than himself. He could not help sympathising with workingmen, and he thought workingmen should have an opportunity of meeting their friends in the same way as other people they were not generally in a position to entertain them at home. If licenses were kept nnder propercare-andhebelievedmost of their hotels in Cardiff were thus managed— they had his sympathy. There were some mem- bers of the Licensing Committee, lie said, who held total abstinence views, but he had never known gentlemen conduct themselves with greater care, or take a more dispassionate view of the cases brought before them at the opening session. They had no reason to complain of anything these gentlemen had done, for he was bound to say he had never heard matters discussed with greater fairness or with a greater desire to do justice. There were two members of the Licensing Committee on the last occasion who, during a discussipn as to the refusal of a license, voted against the refusal, being convinced that the evidence was not sufficient to warrant the taking away of the license. He wished every- one to understand that when discussing the licensed houses on the last occasion no body of men could have tried more to do equal justice to all. Objections. The police raised all objection to the renewal of the license to the Lord Clyde, Blaokweir, held by William Morgan.—Mr Abel Thomas appeared to support the application.—Rvidence was given as to a conviction against the license for selling on Sunday.—Mr Thomas called evidence as to the good character of the applicant, William Morgan, and the Chairman announced that the magistrates would renew the license. The renewal of the license of the Oddfellows, Arms, Ellen-street, to Michael Reardon, was also objected to.—Mr T. H. Belcher appeared for the applicant.—The license was objected on the ground that the applicant had been convicted on the 1st December for selling on Sunday; convicted for attempting to bribe tho police; that Sunday trading had been carried on for a long period that the house was not needed; and that the premises and approaches afforded facilities for illegal trading.—Mr Belcher made a long speech on behalf of the applicant, and called a number of witnesses, including Alderman Carey, to prove the good character of the applicant. The police objected to the renewal of the license of the Nag's Head, Little Bridge-street, occupied by Thomas Jeremy, on the grounds of his having been convicted for selling intoxicating liquors on his licensed premises during prohibited hours. Mr Abel Thomas appeared to support the appli- cation, and admitted the conviction, but showed the landlord had been in the house for ei"'ht vears without further offence, and the Head (Sonstable testified to his respectability and good character. The license was renewed. An objection was also made to the renewal of the Edinburgh Castle, Wellington-street, con- ducted by Herbert Lloyd. There was a conviction against the applicant for selling during prohibited hours. Mr Belcher supported the application. The license was renewed. The police objected to the renewal of the license of the Tichborne Arms, Hill-terrace, occupied by James John, on the grounds of his having been convicted of selling intoxicating liquors on his premises on Sunday, the 5th -July. Mr Parker (from the ofhce of Mr II. Cousins) appeared on behalf of the applicant, and Mr Abel Thomas represente d the owners. The former raised several objections as to serving of the notices, which, he contended, were not in order, but the Bench overruled them.—Mr Thomas said his clients, the owners, had received no notice what- ever, and they were quite prepared to find a suitaole tenant it the license was not taken away The Bench then retired for consultation, and on returning too -lagistrates' Clerk said they had decided to renew the Oddfellows' Arms to Mich vd Reardon. They refused tho renewal of the license to James John, of the Tichborne Arms on the grounds that lie had not produced satisfactory evidence of good character. The police objected to the renewal of the off beer license of 08, Constellation-street, occupied by Wihsam Purtmgal. Mr Abel 'l l rm.-w n 1.1 ported the application. The objection was based on the grounds that the applicant had been con- victed on the 19cil of d une of selling beer to be consumed immediately outside his licensed nre- ntises, and for which he was lined 20s and costs. Mr Abel Ihomas said that the men who drank tho beer bought it to convey to th??u?hter houses before consumption, and that it ?'ag.?dnpon taat unuei-M.ancdng. Mrs Porting] confirmed this in tne. witness-box,and Daniel Lb?? gave his testimony as to the respectable character of the occupier, and expressed the opinion that the 11Cel1Sl' was necessary to meet the requirements of the district, another ground on which the police took exception. I Objection WAS raised to the renewal of the license of tne Lakes of K:llr.rn-jy. Mavy Ann- ttreet, occupied by Miehaei Driscoll, a beerhouse which was in existence in 1369. The grounds of objection were convictions for breaches of the Licensing Act against previous holders of the license, and also that proceedings had been token against the present occupier for selling intoxica- ting liquors to a drunken person, though the charge against him was dismissed.—Mr Abel Thomas appeared in support of the application. -Stipei-iiiteiiclr--iit Tamh!yn he knew the house well. It was a very bad house. There was It convidion in 1876, and three convictions since. Driscoll. the present holder uf the licence, he had never found in the house except once. There was only one conviction against Driscoll, and that for Sunday tradin^iUvideuoe was called as to the character of Air Driscoll, ruul the Court adjourned for luncheon. On the ?umpHon (?f the ?:tt,M?. the C?rk ?HOU.icMltt?th<-?nc.h ]?d decided 10 refuse the re;:w"t! of VYnham Portugal's licence, and to r?.?w tile hc?-:?

Harry Cousnis^ appealed in support of the application, and too", exception on the grounds that no notice had been given before the General Annual Licensing Committee and no specific objection had been made in open court on that day. He contended the justices had no power to deal with the case and were bound to renew the license.— Detective Rankin said he served the notice of ob- jection by sending it by post on September loth.

"I I An extraordinary scene occurred at Cowbridge Borough police-court to-day, consequent on an enquiry made by Alderman James as to who was responsible for the withdrawal of a sum- mons.—Superintendent Thomas said that it was done at the instigation of the mayor.— The Magistrates' Clerk said it was not an unsual aupse, and Alderman James re" torted that it was" Cowbridge law. Mr Stockwood said it was common law. In reply to Alderman James, Sergeant Smith said that the Mayor had offered him half a sovereign if th- summons were withdrawn. The Mayor Ser- geant Smith has told a deliberate he f in reference to this case. His own conduct was perfectly clear, he had acted openly and on his own authori y, and bad written to say that the: summons would be withdrawn.

ALERTNESS OF THE NEWPORT ,SERGEANT.
ALERTNESS OF THE NEWPORT SERGEANT. Shortly before nine o'clock, whilst Police- sergeant Rawlings was on his rounds, he noticed an unusual light in the bakehouse in Pottery- terrace, belong-ing to Mr William Matthews, grocer and baker, 19, Courtybella-terrace. He sent for the tenant of the bakehouse, and on un- locking the door it was discovered that a fire had commenced behind 50 sacks of flour. A sackful of shavings and some empty sacks were burning fiercely. A few buckets of water, following the sergeant's timely discovery, put an end to the mischief. It is regrettable to state that the fire is supposed to be caused by boys putting lighted matches or fireworks through a hole in the door.

Leicester Meeting. LKICEisTEit, TUESDAY. The outlook this morning was by no means of a pleasant description, being dull and gloomy after a. night's rain that made the course decidedly holding. There was, however, a, fairly good company to witness the opening day's sport at Oadby, and should the elements be favourable, to-morrow will probably bring one of the largest on record, as the Koyal Handicap will be an immense attraction. Some heavv wagering has been effected on the race, for which Unicorn travelled badly in the market during the last few days. The horse has reached Leicestei, and is said to be in the best of health, but there was no move made in his favour before racbig commenced. The weather improved considerabh- about, m?d-dny, when the sun broke through. The ? eibeck Plate opened proceedings, for which Placid was made the favourite, but finished la--?, the mce falling to Cruelty. Detaii?

SPORTING ITEMS. I
SPORTING ITEMS. I From what can be heard of the Unicorn trial, the colt had a terrible task set him, and he clearly failed to stay. Both Killowen and Blavatsky will run in the Leicestershire Royal Handicap, and Clayton will steer the filly. J. Mullagh, the Victorian aboriginal cricketer, who visited Ktigland over 20 years ago, and was a capital bat, was fou::d dead at Harrow, Australia, on the 13th ult. The well-informed correspondent Hotspur has stated that Orme may be regarded as a doubt- ful starter for the Lancashire Plate unless the going is particularly sound. War Dance yesterday was driven to 33 to 1 (offered) for the Cesarewitch, but the French candidate was a very saleable article for the Cam- bridgeshire, for which he was backed to win at 25 to 1. Signorina is a certain starter for the Lancashire Plate at Manchester. Her owner sent a man down .-p-cially from Newmarket to Manchester, last c. to see that proper stable accommodation provided for the marc at New Barns. W. liilt, the Epsom trainer, met with a serious accident a day or two ago. He was putting the colours on Ben Gough—a two-year- old encored in the St Leger, by the bye-whell tho colt bolted, and, knocking Holt down, put both of the popular trainer's shoulders out. A race will shortly be announced by the Sandown Park authorities. It has been sug- gested by John Porter, and will be called the Kingselere Stakes in his honour. It will be a mile race for maiden riders, and only apprentices will be permitted to ride, ana theu only for their own stables. Sullivan arrived in Melbourne on August 14th. A large crowd assembled at the depot, and accorded him a most enthusiastic reception. The following night he appeared at the Opera House, which was crowded. At a reception at the Athletic Club to welcome the champion, Dr Wil- niot (the chairman) proposed Sullivan's health, and expressed a hope that Sullivan and Slavin would do battle for the championship of the world. Sullivan, in reply, said that, so soon as his contract with Duncan Harrison expired, he would be ready to meet Slavin. Another English boxer has had to strike his flag in Australia, Ben Seth (of Lambeth), who, before he left England, defeated, amongst others, Dave Burke, Dick Burge, and Bill Cheese, having been knocked out in the short space of four minutes by Tom Williams. Plato, who has been backed for the Cesarewitch by a very shrewd party, will be steered by O. Madden. W. Platt has been retained for Old Boots, and Finiay for 6t. Simon of the Rock, while M. Cannon wiU steer Shall We Remember. Armada will be ridden by little P. Chaloner. Bob Ilabbijam yesterday handed to the Sportillg Life £ 100 on behalf of John O'Brien (Welsh champion) to bind a match with Ted Pritchard for the Middle-weight Boxing Championship, £ 200 a sde, and best purse odeied. O'Brien can guarantee Pntehard a purse of £ 500; winner to the lot ( £ 900). Failing Pritchard covering O'Brien's deposit withm a, fortnights time the Welshman will assume the title of Middle-weight Champion of England, and stand prepared to meet all comers any style. Toff Wall, La Blanche (the Marine), or anybody else can have a match for £ 200 a-side and best purse forthcoming. Mr Charles Raynor, proprietor of that well- known riverside hostelry, the Pack Horse, Staines, possesses a French poodle, "Punch," who is able, without any apparent cue from his master, to pick out from a pack laid on the ground any ckrd that may be named. He is equally clever at choosing numbers. On Saturday evening last, after a very successful exhibition, it was suggested by a visitor to the house that so clever a dog iiliglit be, able to pick the winner of the Leicester race. Accord- ingly the names of all the probable starters were written on pieces of paper and placed in a circle, a.nd Punch was requested by his master to oblige the company with the name of the winner. The dog unhesitatingly took up the paper bearing the name of Victorious. Should the selection turn out to be correct Mr Raynor contemplates enrolling Punch in the ranks of the profes- sional tipsters. Discreditable scenes on the football field unfor- tunately are becoming far too common. On Saturday one of the Canadian players was ordered off the field at Middlesbrough. Yester- day there was also unpleasantness during the match against Wales at Wrexham, and on the Welshmen claimiug a goal, which caused the score to be level—one jpal each—the visitors dis- puted the point and left the field. In the League game played yesterday, in which Preston North End beat Burnley, at Prc-ton. by five goals to one, the play was rough, and the conduct of the spectators—mostly followers of the visitors—very reprehensible.
IAlleged Ritualistic Practices.
Alleged Ritualistic Practices. EXTRAORDINARY SCENE. I The Central News correspondent at Lurgan telegraphs;—The Protestant parish church of Marahn, near Lurgan, was the scene of a remark- i able occurrence la-st night. A new pulpit had been erected, surmounted by three crosses. These latter were regarded as emblematic of Ritualism, and at a mass meeting of the parishioners last night their erection was denounced with consider- able force. The meeting adjourned to the church, and insisted upon the erodes being removed, and turned a deaf ear to the remonstrances (If the vicar. The crowd thronged the building- and declined to leave until their demand was complied with. The Rector continued his appeals to their moderation, but all to no purpose, and at half-past ten workman were summoned and the crosses removed. Some other alleged symbols of Popery were then taken down, the work continuing until past midnight.

THE ALLEGED SEIZURE OF II EGGS AT CARDiFF. At a meeting of the Health Committee this I morning', Councillor Ramsdale presiding, an en- quiry wa,s held with reference to Mr Creeses com- plaint against Inspector Vaughan. Mr J. L. Jenkins appeared for Mr Creese, and after a pro- longed hearing the committee dcciced th'tt the seizure had bo n made at Mr Creese's reque-t, and that he had not sold any eggs after he had known they were unlit for consumption.—Mr J eukins s?;d that co!np!et?y exonerated Mr Crec6e, and his client would be unite satisfied.

I London Gossip. I
London Gossip. I The London corrcKpondcut of the S()lIlh I  t C? 1 c, r, Izist iii,' I lt, ?(7?e? Da-tlj S<:v:s, telegraphing last night, says The New Postmaster-General. When on Friday night I telegraphed that Sir James Fergu.sson was named in the run- ning for the Postmaster-Generalship. I confess I did not believe in the probability of the rumour. The best that can be said for him in his present incumbency was summed up in the remark Ili,t he has by ) this time made himself acquainted in the routine work of the Foreign I Office, and that Lord Salisbury wall { personally be at a disadvantage in having to find a siibstitute. The most prejudiced | friend or the kindliest critic cannot say more. The truth is the feeling of the Houso of Commons towards Sir James Fergusson, when he presents himself as the representa- tive of the Foreign Office, is akin to that which King George is reported to have regarded the apple in the durnukng. Row on earth he got there is a problem hitherto unsolved for outsiders. He is utterly If: ek- ing in the gift of lucid expression, and is what Mr Bright, speaking years ago of the noble lord, who was then Sir Charle*; Adderley, called" a dull Under-Secreiaria! Dullness. Inere were some who deiencted the appointment on the ground that a dull man is the very kind of person who should till the office held by Sir James. All the Under-Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, with his chief in the Lords, has to do is to read aloud the manuscript answers supplied to him by the permanent secretary, which, if they touch on delicate subjects, have been personally re- vised by the Secretary of State. This Sir James Fergusson managed to do, adding to its performance the rare personal gift of ability to lock into space with an aspect of unfathomable stupidity. If members oppo- site pestered him with supplementary en- quiries, in the majority of cases Sir James, thus pursued, sat silent, the most ever drawn from him being the observation, I have nothing to add to the answer just given." That, it will be seen, was a valuable peculiarity about an Under Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, though it is difficult to see how it recommends him for promotion to the Postmaster-Generalship. I Will he be Returned ? ¿ The Government approach the inevitable contest in North-East Manchester with considerable foreboding. They have, of course, carefully considered the prospects of the election, and have been convinced that the seat is safe otherwise it would not have j been vacated even to secure the services of Sir James Fergusson at the Post Office. In 1885 Sir James was returned by a majority of 1448, a majority which at the general election of 1886 was reduced to 327. The Irish vote is pretty strong in the constituency, and that brought about this considerable change. In 1885, the Government Conser- vative party being at the time in open league with the Parnellites against Mr Gladstone, the Irish vote went with Sir James Fergusson. Next year it went against him, .and it will be turned in the same direction in the forthcoming contest. Unless, therefore, extraordinary efforts are made by the Conservatives and their Dissentient Liberal allies, the contest will be a close one. The wire-pullers j of the Conservative party have been insis- tent upon keeping the secret as long as possible, and hurrying forward the election at topmost speed as soon as it could be kept no longer. So urgent were they on this point that no London paper this morning was enabled to make the announcement of the appointment, which leaked out in local circles. As far as I remember, this is an unparalleled circumstance in analagous cases, and shews with what apprehension the contest is apnroached. I What will the Unionists Do? The Tunes allots three columns to-day for a letter in which a Conservative M.P. speculates on the future attitude of the Dissentient Liberals towards the Conser- vative party. It is a curious production, and can scarcely be pleasant reading for the gentlemen to whom it is especially ad- dressed. The party led by Lord Harrington are likened to t; a governess at a garden party having no recognised status," and are twitted with having led, during the last tive years, a very pleasant position, which imposes upon them a debt of gratitude towards the Conservative party. Considering that Lord Salisbury and his friends have since 1886 been kept in office by Lord Harrington, and his following this is more or less delight- fully cool. A further statement by "a Conservative M.P." that association with the Conservative parry has made honest men of Dissentent Liberals is, perhaps, a little offensive. This authority, whose position the Times recog- nises in traditionary form by the honours of large type, graciously promises to the Dissentient Liberals the cold patronage of the Conservatives if only they will pledge themselves not to join in any attack on the Established Church. Perhaps the oddest thing about this very curious episode is that the Times, having made the letter the most prominent feature in its issue, does not venture to allude to it in its editorial column. Unfortunate M.P.'s. Mr Fielden, whose dire accident is re- ported to-day, is very little known in the House of Commons. He is not often there, and still more rarely speaks. His father was well-known, having represented the East Division of the West Hiding through the lively times that lie between 1863 and 1880. Mr Fielden is still a young man, having just completed his 37th year. A private telegram received in town to-night, in reply to one of many enquiries made, reports him in a somewhat serious condition. It was not only the shock and hurt of the r,tnmge tumble, but supervening came the long interval in which he by helpless and agonised waiting for relief. Saturday was an unfortunate day for M.P.'s, Mr Harri- son, the member for 'J'ipperary, nearly shooting himself, and actually singeing the | hair of the head of Mr Hedmond. Mr Parnell's following is not uumeric?IIy so large that he can abbrd to have his private preserves utilised for a repetition of similar risks. It is worse than Committee-room j No. 15. Lord and Lady Aoeraeen's Mission. Lord Aberdeen, P.ke t.oine other great British landowners, has invested money in land beyond the sea. He cinis a farm in British Columbia a few hundred miles cast of Vancouver, and it was partly to view and enjoy this possession that he and Lady Aberdeen crossed the Atlantic. They arc now staving at their farm, and intend to remain there throughout October, when they make their way to Chicago in order to advance the interests of the Irish Industrial Association, of which Lady Aberdeen is president, and was, indeed, founder. As I mentioned the other day, they intend to arrange with the managers of the Chicago Exhibition for I space to display samples of the lace and homespun clothing which, in revival of an ancient industry, now occupies some thousands of poor people in the west of Ireland. Lord Aberdeen looks for a marked impetus to the trade from the custom he hopes to establish in the United States. Cariyle's Manuscripts. I It is announced tiiar, tne ccntoi or tlie N ew Review" lias secured for publica- tion in bis journal two unpublished manu- scripts of Carlyle's, one being a novel, or part of a novel, and the other an account of hi" visit to Paris. The novelty of the novel is probably unimpeachable, but Mr r,) i do well to inquire into tho history of the manuscrip t re?tui? rhe incidcn's in the journey to Pa.ri?. I remember reading such a narrative which | was published in America about a year ago. i-i-as iii ATiicric?i Its authenticity There i?,a,; alone from the peculiar litpr?y style, but by the self revelations of Carlyle's characier which it. contained. I He was accompanied by Mrs Carlyie and a friend to the latter. He left all the drudgery of ilie journey, serenely smoking his pipe, i whilst his friend was struggling through ail the labours of a courier, who, at the date this journey was taken, were exacting and I unpleasant. Forsaken indeed The vote taken to-o;;y ,uf the meeting of 'the 2 t?aKel" t'?i,? the sever- ,ti-ice of that paper from the cause of Mr Parnell. He is now without a friend or champion in the Irish press, and there does not appear any prospect of his realising the projcct of starting a paper of his own. In the coming session, and still more acutelv during the General Election, he will sorely led the pinch of poverty. His wife's fortune, should she gain only the portion of the money left by her aunt, is sum. cient even to start a newspaper and keep it going for a short time, but Mr Parnell has a personal interest in that source of revenue, and was never noted for rhe lavishness of his pecuniary contrihutions for party purposes. A short time ago he had formed, or at least avowed, the inten- tion of going over to the I xiited States to carry round the hat in person. Information brought over by Mr T. Harrington and otners that has since reached him has caused him to abandon the idea. How he and the remnant of his party will get alon.o, even through next session, is a matter of grave concern to some of his following, who m happier days had subsidies regularly doled out to them by An Biggar.

HEALTH AND ELECTRICITY, Mr Varney in Cardiff. Of late years, as our knowledge of electricity has increased, the uses to which it has been applied ha ve been extended, and to-day its pL'QP;rÜe, ara being utilised in variou? important direct,ons, Its marvellously invigorating powers ? are well kno?'n, and are made use oi bv several e:l:i!ent.medical men.

She was separated from her husband, who made her an allowance. Witness only knew that her husband's name was Henry Ha.cker; he did not know where he resided. Deceased was greatly addicted to drink, and had suffered in health in consequence. Witness did not know that the deceased took anything beyond some medicine that the doctor prescribed for her on Tiiursiay. She went to bed on that day about 10 p. m., and about a quarter to five next morning witness was aroused by hearing the deceased make a strange noise, and he then found her dead. Witness attributed her death to her excessive drinkm.-Mary Ann Branch, the landlady, deposed that the deceased and Mannis had lodged in her house for two and a half years, during whic-h time the deceased had hardly ever been sober. Witness considered her an habitual drunkard.—Dr Regan stated that death was due to syncope consequent upon the deceased's intem- pera.te habits, and the jury returned a verdict to that effect.

FOOTBALL.
FOOTBALL. WALES v. CANADA I rntier most uniavo-avable conditions Canada met Wales at Wrexham on Monday, Rain fell in torrents continuously, and a fierce windhlew from goal to goal, makmg fine play ironos,.ible, Only 500 spectators en- dured the bLann, ^Vales kicked off at 4.45, with tlie wind in their favour, soon visiting Canadian soil. The Canadian forwards returned the visit, but nothing came of this shifting. The rain came down in torrents, and tlie tield was a pool of mud in places. Struggling on, boiii teams laboured hard to secure victory, but the elements were almost too much. Presently, however, a uash was made at the Welsh goal, and Powell, in trying to help Turner to save, allowed the ball to slip through his hands, and so gave Canada her only mark. Atter this Wales seemed put on her metal, and play was last. Both sides showed good points, but. the wretched weather and the muddy ground prevented anything like an exhibition of play. At half-time Canada posses-ed the only goal scored so far. idLer the interval Wales headed for Canada, and Humphrey Jones, who did well all through the game, narrowly escaped scoring, but Canada's defence was strong and firm. B. Lewis, for the home team, did some clever work, as did Davies, w ho played with com- mendRhle judgment. Play proved o a give-and-take character, and its monotony was only occa+;ionK]l?l broken by a lit"?e spurt. One of thee brought tb game to an untimejy end. J. navies ran down and made a splendid shot, which Garrett knocked w ith his hands, unking it full on the bur and ;0 to the rear. Wales claimeÜ a corner, and a man was about to kick when the referee, who was some distance away, gave Wales a goal. Canada objected, and, supported by the opinion of well-known citizens standing near the goal, urged the objection,with the result that they walked off After a fewminntes they returned, but 11'1 settlement, was arrived at, so the same abruptly and unfortu- nately ended.

The Canadian Scandals. I Debate on the Committee's Report. I (KHUTOR'S TELEGRAM.) I OTTAWA. Tuesday. The debate on the report of the Committee of Privileges and Elections on Mr Tarte's charges against various Government officials was commenced yesterday. Mr Gironard, chair- man of the Committee, after carefully reviewing the evidence, said he thought that the majority of the report was a fair and equitable finding. He cited the course pursued by a Liberal Minister of Public Works, regarding charges for contracts by which the country had to pay one thousand dollars more than the original contracts provided. He asked that the same judgment should be meted out to Sir Hector Langevin as to his predecessor. Mr Tarte followed, his speech fasting three hours and a half. He went carefully over the different charges, using strong language against Sir Hector Longevin and Mr McGregory. He averred that if he {Mr Tarte) had not made the charges, Messrs Larkin, Con- nolly, and Company would be continuing their shameful operations in Canada. It was with sorrow that he found Sir Hector Langevin in the company he was in to-day. Having brought his charges before the House, Mr Tarte declared that he had done his duty. For having given his information to the world an effort would be made to ruin him by implicating him in the Bail Chaleurs railway scandal but he was willing to submit to the fullest investiga- tion in that matter. The Commit- tee of Privileges and Elections had conducted the enquiry in a judicial spirit, and it was for the House now to render its verdict. For himself he would not say what his judgment would be. The debate on the report will last three days,
