YOUNG'S PARAFFIN OIL has been extensively burned IN ALL CLIMATES for TWENTY-EIGHT YEARS without a SISGLE ACCIDENT. ITS FLASH POINT is invariably :j0 DEGREES Fahrenheit ABOVE the British Government's standard of Safety, whereby all COST, TROUBLE, and DANGER in regard to a License for its storage or sale are entirely avoided. Being richer in Car- bon than any other description of burning Oil, it is unequalled as an II.LU.NIINANT, giving both a VIGOROUS and a BEAUTIFUL FLAME. Considering its PRICE, & that it BURNS LONGER by THIRTEEN PER CENT than American Petroleum, it is unquestionably the most economical light known.

SIR,—I am glad that some one has taken in hand the duty of publicly remonstrating with the Great Western Railway on the manner in which they deal with the traders of the district, and hope that some- thing will be done to induce them to remove the grievance themselves, or by the introduction, as suggested, of competing lines, to compel them to do so. But this is not all the grievance we have in Wrexham, against the Great Western. Passengers as well as traders have for many years borne with patience and Ion, suffering the extreme inconvenience arising from the inadequate accommodation at Tsin- ? am Station,with its narrow platform and small, dingy, and utterly dreary waiting rooms on the up side of the line. No other place on the line is so wretchedly provided with passenger accommodation as Wrexham, notwithstanding it is one of the chief stations. It is true that a few years ago, considerable alteration was effected on the south side, and the grounds of complaint there have been in a great measure removed, but on the up line, as we have pointed out, things are in as bad a state as ever. Now, cannot something be done in an endeavour to effect an improvement, which will give as a station worthy of the town and more in accord with the importance of the passenger traffic? Cannot the Town Council take the initiative ? Some years ago, when Mr Overton was Mayor, he succeeded in obtaining the removal of the pillars on the up platform, which were before a source of danger, and surely a representation from the Council now would be equaily received and considered by the railway authorities. I am also told that the accommodation for the goods traffic is very inadequate, and this could be included in the representation. I think we might make this question an election cry for the 1st of November, and vote for no candidate who will not move with energy in this important matter.—Yours truly, October 22nd, 1878. A FREQUENT PASSENGER. October 22nd, 1878. INJUSTICE. DEAR FI)ITOR,-Call any of your readers inform me upon the following subject :—Last year I paid to the Brymbo Vicarage, tithe amounting to 158 6d, accord- ing to the former owner's explanation, that this tithe only came every 8 years, as there are 9 freeholders to pay every other. Notwithstanding this it looks as if I was the Lord's annointed. Another call came to me this month to pay tithe for the half-year amount- ing to 5s 7d, which I accordingly refused. I sent a letter to St. Asaph explaining the case, stating that I am the holder of 846 square yards, and begging them to correct the error. The reply was my letter returned with red ink crossed, stating that I am charged with No 131 on the Broughton Tithe Map. A few days after a letter came requesting me to pay 1 forthwith or further expense would be incurred. If such is justice which comes from a quarter where it is continually preached from the pulpit, then am I aston- ished at my ignorance of the Gospel. Can any of your intellectual readers inform me how to deal with this case and I shall feel greatly obliged.—Yours truly, LEOPOLD LIVINGSTONE. Pentre Broughton, Oct. 14, 1878. EXPLOSION OF COAL MINES AND THEIR PREVENTION. DEAR SIR, An Old Collier," in your last week's correspondence says he has been studying a scheme to improve the quality of the downcast air" in a mine" I presume. Now as to quality, my impression is that it is as pure in the downcast as itis on the surface, and if man can improve the quality that God made, I'll give it up, but had my old iriend, the black collier from Cefn, invented any scheme as to the quantity, I cer- tainly should be pleased with the same, because, if there is a certain amount of gas in any mine, there must, or ought to be, as much air as would clear the mine out, to make it safe for men to work in. But I quite agree with Mr Bowen that something ought to be done different to what is done at present for the safety of the hard-working and imposed-upon collier. I should like to know how was it in our fore-father's time that there was no such sacrificing of lives in the mines as there is in our days. My opinion is that proprietors and leaseholders now, do not sink their shafts often enough on their grounds, instead of tak- ing such an extensive area underground in opening out works with so few pits. Now look in the Wrex- ham district for instance, say Westminster. This work extended from by the Lodge, between Brymbo and Southsea, down to the bottom end of Gwersyllt Park, by the river Alyn, and from Stansty Park to Cross-street, and all their up and down casts are situ- ated in a cluster of five in number at Moss and Summerhill, and should an explosion of gas take place in the workings nearest out and injure the air. course, the result would be a certain death to hundreds in the far away regions of the mine, through suffoca- tion from the after-damp, caused by the explosion, whereas had there been shafts sunk oftener those poor men and boys would have a chance of saving them- selves, the same as when the inundation by water took place at Brynmally, twenty-two years last Sep- tember. Out of all those men and boys working in the pit only 13 lost their lives, which I admit was too much, but had Mr Clayton been without an outlet higher up on the crop of his workings, the result: would have been more disastrous. Therefore I think something ought to be done to try and get shafts sunk oftener, as they were in our father's days secondly, I how is it that mine inspectors do not frequent the mines previous to an accident as well as afterwards. I learn by your paper in the present case pending be- fore the Wrexham Bench of Magistrates, that the plaintiffs were down Fors-y-go pit in the afternoon of, the same day as the accident occurred, and I under- stand by their evidence that they found things wrong. What a pity the inspectors were not down one day sooner, they might then possibly have saved the lives of those unfortunate ones who met their awful death, and save also the sufferings of those who have sur- vived. My own humble opinion is, if Government can throw away so many millions of pounds as they have done, lately, in preparing for war without any cause whatever, and again spending more still by sending the earl to bring about an "honorable and lasting peace," they ought to do something for us. I hope to continue the subject, by your permission, next week.—Ycurs truly, ANOTHER OLD COLLIER. FREE SEATS IN RUABON CHURCH. WHERE ARE THEY? DEAR SIR,—Will you kindly allow me to put the above question through the medium of your journal. I believe it was by mutual consent, and generally un- derstood that after the restoration of the church, with one exception the seats were free. Previous to this date one was liable, and with authority to be turned out of a pew when right was asserted, and under those circumstances we might grumble, and certainly no one had a right to question, but under the altered re- gime of church privileges we are certainly not pre- pared to be tapped on the shoulder by the blandest of officials, and to be accosted "If you please Mr Sitten- down, this is the seat of Mr Preferred before you"- Nor are we particularly grateful when in the dilemma as to where we shall find a corner of rest, to be pulled by Mr Suasive, who tenderly invites us to come into my seat." There is always room in my seat." Truly this is a peculiar illustration of a free seated church What a comfortable feeling we must have (unless we are to study the geography of our church) to be under the torture of uncertainty as to when our nerves may receive a shock from the nudge of the henchmen of any" Blow-me-smiles" who may fancy a seat. I question if the seats in Ruabon Church are not more sternly monopolised now by families ;han in the pew days, judging from the heterogenous mass of private property in the shape of musty, fusty, rickety, tattered, soiled, huge mat- ting, and make-believe hassocks, stools, pillows, bladders, cushions, the which articles are of all imaginable shapes, sizes and materials, and really some of them are of a doubtful character to be very near. Again, some of these arti- cles are of such a mountainous character that it would puzzle anyone but their owners how to get into the seat with anything like a decent deportment. Now, 1 can only characterise this mess ot private property as a nuisance, certainly it is locomotive, but never- theless it is a loud notice of "retained," "engaged," and a sure bar to any modest or polite person using that seat. Moreover, this monopoly of seats in a free- seated church is sure to develope anything but Chris- tian feelings of brotherhood, petty jealousies and envy are sure to arise. Just realise the picture of Mr Crabb's heart during the service, after he comes to find his (?) seat full, cushions and all, and has to take another less to his liking. The idea of free seats is most laudable, but when what I have described is the consummation of its practice, the sooner we return to the eld system of pew rights the better. But in order and in some measure to check this rapid growth of appropriation I would suggest that our church authorities have all the seats uniformly but modestly cushioned, and with continuous knee boards, also fur- nished with service books. This is now the case in many churches, and it is a comfort to worship in them. This would do away with all excuse in having such extraordinary and queer looking private property in a free-seated church. I am ready to subscribe to such an improvement, and after the progressive improve- ments which have been done, why not further pro- gress?—I enclose my card. I am, yours, &c., PI T OUT. NATIONAL PERMANENT RELIEF FUND FOR MINERS. SIR,—Please permit me, through the columns of your widely circulated paper, to thank all those persons who have in any way contributed to the funds for the relief of the sufferers at Abercarne. This duty I cheerfully perform on behalf of the miners of the country, particularly those who resides in the western valley of Monmouthshire, and the whole of South Wales. The practical sympathy which has been manifested towards the mining population by Her Majesty the Queen, and all sections of Her Majesty's subjects, is such as to demand an expression of gratitude from all who earn their bread by the sweat of their brow in the sunless mines. May the Great Architect of the Universe bless all those who have, so to speak, become a father to the fatherless, and a husband to the widow, by helping them to the lnaans of subsistence now their bread-winners are taken away from them. But while provision is made by the liberality of the people of this great country for those who are made sufferers when a great catastrophe occurs, by which a great number of lives are sacrificed, it is a fact that no provision is made for those who are made sufferers by falls of coal, and the roofs of mines, when only one or two persons lose their lives. This being so, as I will shortly fthow by statistics, I hope that the public will consider with Mr Ellis Lever, the propriety of forming a National Permanent Relief Fund for Miners. I have ever been in favour of establishing relief funds for miners, locally, in the various parts of the country. I had a full knowledge as to the necessity, as I have had twenty years' experience in the mine, and fifteen years' service as agent for miners and, further, was a sufferer in my childhood by the loss of my father by an explosion in a mine when I was only two-and-a-half years of age. I cannot express the pleasure I had when I saw the statement in the newspaper that Mr Ellis Lever, coal merchant of Manchester and London, had memorialised Her Majesty the Queen relative to the forming or establishing a National Permanent Relief Fund for the relief of persons who were made sufferers by accidents. I thought at the time when I saw the memorial, and the answer which Mr Lever received from the late Sir Thomas Biddulph, that the difficulties that would arise in establishing a fund for the relief of persons who suffered from any, and every, accident in the country would be insurmountable. But having known Mr Ellis Lever for some time—who, by-the- bye, may be mistaken for another Mr Lever who was an M.P. once for Galway, and connected with steam- boat companies, but who are in no way related to each other-I felt convinced that he had in his mind the sufferers from mine accidents, as his father and five brothers were colliers, and had narrowly escaped with their lives. I have seen Mr Ellis Lever lately, and talked the matter over with him, and he has confirmed the view I had as to his intentions by stating that it is the establishment of a National Permanent Relief Fund for Miners that he had uppermost in his mind. I believe that the suggestion is a most desirable and practical one, and one which the miners of the country will hail with pleasure, and assist in carrying into effect. I have seen with pleasure that the Mayor of Liverpool has taken the matter up in a way that must encourage Mr Lever and others who are sympathisers with the object in view, namely, the establishment of the aforesaid fund for the relief of miners, their widows and orphans, who are made sufferers through accidents in the mines of Great Britain and Ireland. I have made up my mind to do all I can to aid the cause by every legitimate means in my power. I have heard employers in Wales and elsewhere express their willingness to subscribe annually to such a fund. In looking over statistics I find that, according to Mr Joseph Dickenson's (inspector) report for last year, there were 804 fatal accidents in the mines under the Coal Mines Regulation Act, 1872. The number of deaths caused by the accidents was 1,208, divided as follows :-By explosion of firedamp, 345; by falls of coal or roofing, 448 by accidents in shafts, breakage of ropes, &c,, 129 miscellaneous-caused underground, 187 on the surface, about the mine, !H>. In addition to deaths under the Coal Mines Act, there were lives lost in mines which are under the Metaliferous Mines Act. The number of fatal accidents in connection with this Act is 87, causing the death of 97 persons, divided as follows :—By explosion, none by falls of roof (or ground) in the mines, 41 in shafts—falling down, &c., 21; miscellaneous underground, 24; on the surface about the mines, 11. It will be seen that the total sacrifice of life last year in working the mines of the country was 1,305 persons. By explosions in mines 345 lives were lost, but there were 960 lives lost through other causes than explosions n mines. Permit me to quote the statistics of the loss of life in mines for 1876. There were 1,003 lives lost in the year 1876 in the whole of the mines of the country. By explosions 95, by other causes 908, lives were lost. These figures will demonstrate the necessity of the establishment of a national relief fund, so as to provide for the sufferers created by causes otherwise than by explosions; and justify the course suggested by Mr Ellis Lever. I am inclined to think that even those who, like myself, are representative men among miners, have neglected to consider the serious causes of the sacrifice of life among our class. We have been much of the same mind as the public in regard to never noticing the loss of life by ones and twos, &c., and the suffering caused to widows and children arising therefrom. I am convinced that in the past, musically speaking, the solo of grief which has been sung with tears by a suffering widow who has been left to care for children when her husband has been killed in the mine, has seldom been heard in the locality where she lives— certainly not by the nation; the same when a duet, or trio, or quartett or semi-chorus of grief has been raised, no one could scarcely hear the sound; but when a great chorus of grief from some hundred widows and three hundred children has arisen then the nation has heard the sound and has run to their relief. Accidents in mines may be reduced, I believe, but the very nature of the work makes it impossible to prevent all accidents taking place. I am fully in favour of doing all that can be done to prevent loss of life, and knowing that life will be sacrificed in future I trust that the public will assist in the providing of means and the establishment of a national permanent relief fund for miners who work in or about the mines of the country. I believe it to be the duty of the miners to help themselves. They must not forget the old saying that "God helps those who help themselves." I believe the miners will do their best. I will go among them, for the purpose of laying the matter before them. I would humbly ask those who receive royalties from mines to help us in the future, by paying a sum annually to a fund, when established. I am confident the colliery proprietors will subscribe a percentage upon the workmen's contributions. In Northumberland, Durham, West Lancashire, and in me or two other parts of the country, this is now done. rhe public may be earnestly requested to help in the matter also. I may be pardoned for stating that when coal or other minerals are being used, there is with it a portion of the life of a miner, particularly so when sat; m the hearth in winter time, looking at the fire that warms those who are near it. It is a fact that for very 123,217 tons of mineral raised last year the life )f a miner was sacrificed. I trust that all consumers of coal and users of minerals will kindly remember this fact. I may further state that in this county (Lancaster) the loss of life last year was one person for every )6,208 tons of minerals raised from the mines. There may be differences of opinion between miners md their employers and others regarding the rates of ivages, politics, religion, &c., &c., but there can be no lifference of opinion relative to the forming a fund to 'elieve those who may suffer from accidents in mines. It is my earnest wish to see a national permanent relief fund for miners inaugurated to meet all cases of suffering arising from Mother Earth being forced to yield those minerals which have contributed so largely to make the people of this country so rich, so powerful, uid so happy. I will conclude by expressing a hope that the scheme ivhich Mr Lever proposes may be worked out quickly, j iiid crowned with abundant success. Let us show our beloved Queen, who has expressed the pleasure she would have at the success of the scheme, nay, more, let all the country prove, that nothing which is possible for her people to do, and which is required to relieve suffering humanity, is too difficult for her ever-faithful and loyal subjects to do. Her Majesty has repeatedly given practical sympathy to the sufferers through accidents in mines. May the Supreme give her long life, and help the miners and their friends in accomplishing a work which both Her Majesty and her faithful servant, the late lamented Sir Thomas Biddulph, expressed so strong a desire to see established, viz., a National Permanent Relief Fund for Miners."—I am, your obedient servant, THOMAS HALT.IDAY, President of the National Amalgamated Association of Miners.

Trade Intelligence. I I I IRON. MIDDLKSBOROV UH, Tuesday.—The attendance was only moderate to-day, and business was exceedingly quiet in all branches. Makers refused to sell pig" iron, and merchants could do little business. No. 3 I pi., iron was sold to-day at 37s fid, and some of the smaller merchants are selling at even less in small quantities. The shipments of Cleveland iron to scot-I land have not greatly fallen off yet, but it is expected they will do when present contracts run out, for Cleveland iron for the Scotch foundries is now dearer than Scotch. The stock of Cleveland pig iron in ? Connall's warrant stores to-day is exactly (?,000 tons, and the price is 38s 3d net. The finished iron trade is very poor, and prices are lower, ship plates being obtained at C6. On Thursday the manufacturers meet to consider the Question of reduction of wages. WOLVERHAMPTON*, Wednef-day.-Tlie Staffordshire iron trade shows a shade of improvement. Specifi- cations were distributed this afternoon which had been withheld, and a little more time is run at the mills and forges. Prices are a trifle firmer, but t'ig iron prices are a shade weaker, for stocks still ac- cumulate. Coal prices are open to negotiation. Miners are likely to work nine hours a day at increased wa"es. Arrangements will have to be made by the Ironmasters and the Coalmasters' Association toueh- ing certain customs affecting workmen and consumers prohibited under the new Weights and Measures Act. BIRMINGHAM, Thurs day.—There was little business done at the South Staffordshire ironmasters' meet in" held here to-day, although a few sped fications have recently been distributed as a result in the fall of marked bars. Sheet-makers report a slight improve- ment, but pig iron of various qualities reniltin slow of sale. The reduction in ironworkers' wages as fixed a fortnight ago came into operation on M.-ndav when the men submitted unanimously to the reducedprice- and are now working in accordance with the terms of the award. I here is a movement on foot for increas- the hours of the colliers to nine instead of eight hours as at present, and to pay an advance of 3d per day at the thin seam pits, and fid at the thick seam, but the colliers are to be determined to resist an extension of hours even at higher wages.

A fair business has been done at an advance of fully Id per cental on Friday's prices for all descriptions of American wheat. Flour is in steady demand, but not fjuotably higher. The shipments of maize are small, and as stocks are to some extent being withdrawn from market an advance of (id to :¡d has been obtained to-day, new mixed American closing at 23s to 23s Od per qr.

CATTLE, Aloii(lay.-The total inmorts oi iioeign st.,clh- into London last week amounted to -18,946 head. In the corresponding period of last year we received 151,340 in 1870, 20,039 in in 1874, 9,900 and in IS?; 15,991. The arrivals at Liverpool, Southampton, and Bristol from American ami Canadian ports comprise I ] ,Œ!j head of cattle, 3,205 sheep, and 550 pigs. The cattle trade was dull in tone, and the tendency of prices was adverse. An increased number of beasts was on offer. Those from our own grazing districts were on a more liberal scale, and there was a large cargo from Ireland but the Scotch receipts were again short. Throughout the demsiid was heavy, and the tendency of prices was in favoar of tiuvers. The price for the best Scots was 5s lOil per Slb. ilany good shorthorns and Americans did not make than 5s to 5s 4(1 per 81b. From Lincolnshire, Leicestershire, and Northamptonshire we received about from other parts of England about 200, from Scotland 35, and from Ireland 1,500 head. The foreign side of the market was not so well supplied with beasts. The American receipts I were less, numbering only some 500, and there were ni t many Danish or Spanish. The trade wa.i dull, at depressed currencies. The sheep pens were only moderately A-ell tiHed, and there were no Americans offered. The it?de was quiet, at about late rates. The best Downs and half- breds sold at 68 lOil to 7s per 81b. Calves were quiet, at about late rates. Pigs sold at previous currencies. At Deptford there were about 2,00!) beasts and about 7,0il 1sheep.

CORN, Iloiittay.-The arrivals during the past week have I)een--Englisli wheat, 7,301 quarters foreign, :jt¡,03 quarters exports, 2,770 quarters.JThere was a small supply of home grown wheat at markat this morning, and sales progressed slowly, at about late rates. Of foreign the arrivals were moderate, and with a somewhat scanty at- tendance, a quiet consumptive demand was experienced, at last Monday's full prices, the intervening depression of Fri- day being recovered. Country flour, 22,80;) sacks, foreign 2,ti7o sacks and 11,017 barrels. A slow sale for both sacks and barrels, at former currencies. English barley 2,fill's quarters, Scotch, 3,155 quarters, foreign 19,C71 quarters malting varieties were fairly steady, and grinding moved off quietly, at about late rates. Malt, English 14,4273 quarters, Scotch 1,203 quarters. Irish 150 quarters ex- ports, 1,150 quarters in moderate request, at last wetk's currencies.

English beans 2,00, quarters, foreign 2,950 quarters quiet but steadv at last week's s prices. Liiii5eeti, 15,37 (illarters expol.tq, lH quarters unaltered. HOPS, Monday.—Our market is extremely quiet. Ell- (iiiiries are aliiif)st exellisin,ely contined to best descriptions, of which we have but a scarce supply. Continental and Aineiie-in hops are not yet sought after. WOOT., Monday. The wool trade is in a most inactive state, and there is very little business doing either in Eng- lish 0: colonial produce. The state of political affairs, and the commercial distrust existing in this country, combine to reduce business to the narrowest limits. The tendency of prices is downwards.
