Following the Pan-Anglican Conference, the Church Congress, which will meet the first Monday in October in Manchester, this year promises to be of especial interest, and we hope of practical importance. These annual meetings of Churchmen are not now regarded. with the feelings of solicitude or distrust which attended them some years ago when they were originated, and it was apprehended that men of strong convictions and widely different opinions meeting in such an arena of debate fired with the heart of contro- versy, would be alienated from each other, and that the effect would be alienation and division, instead of the quickening of spiritual energy and the drawing closer of Church bonds which had been intended. But the result has proved the groundlessness of those < apprehensions. At first there was a little a friction of the kind we speak of. but the ex- perience of one or two meetings was sufficient to show not only how disastrous to the object would be anything like party spirit or con- troversial rivalry, and with a noble spirit of christian courtesy and forbearance Church- men of every school and class have year after year held their annual convocations: and dis- cussed with perfect kindliness and good hu- mour the most thorny questions on which members of the National Church differ. In the self-control displayed alike by clergymen and laymen in the discussions of the Church Congress there is annually presented to the whole kingdom a most striking illustration of the acknowledgment of the Right to Differ." This freedom of debate is not secured either by avoiding questions on which serious dif- ference of opinion exists, or treating them dishonestly by ignoring the points of difficulty. If this were the case the appearance of peace would be a hollow sham, and it were better there were no debate at all. At the forth- coming Congress, we arc happy to learn from the revised programme of the subjects to be discussed, it has been determined to take boldly the real questions of the day and sub- mit them to the test of critical examination by the ablest thinkers of the Church, and at the same time the most impartial selection of speakers has been made, so that the represen- tative men of every school will have the op- portunity of letting their side be heard. Amongst the questions of the most practical interest, perhaps, will be that of the adapta- tion of the Prayer Book to the needs of the piesent time. It is no doubt an anomaly, that a Prayer Book, say of the times of Charles II., can be used, the names being changed, in the latter days of Victoria, when the condition of the country, the world, and the Church itself, is in so many respects dif- ferent from what it was then and there is no doubt that the worshippers in the Church of England of every school, each from their own point of view, would if they could introduce many changes into the order of the services. But the great practical difficulty is to make such changes as will harmonise with the views of all, and, failing this, that the revision may cause not only discontent but schism. Connected with the Prayer Book are the Creeds—the venerable and honoured iormu- laries which the fathers of the Church erected in the old time as barriers against the assaults of scepticism and infidelity, and as authorita- tive announcements of the fundamental prin- ciples of Christianity. Are these to be re- modelled to meet the conditions of modernj thought? This two-sided subject will be discussed, and the result will be looked fnr by earnest Churchmen with great solicitude. Another question, although wholly of a dif-! fercnt kind, will be investigated—the open- ing of public libraries and museums on Sun- day. We hope in treating this subject the Congress will do so in a logical and practical spirit, and define ir, a manner the common people can understand, to what extent the latitude proposed to be introduced .shall go, and where and how it will be possible to draw a line. This is the crux of the question, and wc are sure it will not be evaded. If the museums may be opened for the entertain- ment of one class, why should the theatre or music halls be closed against another ? Another question, which of late years is more pressed upon attention, is the final condition of the impenitent, This perhaps more than either of the subjects we have named is likely to bring to light not only great divergence of opinion, but deep sensibilities that would not be stir/ed by questions of a less solemn char- acter. There is no doubt that with regard to future punishment or future restoration a great change has taken place in the minds of many who are recognised as orthodox mem- bers of the Church, and we may be prepared for utterances that would not have been thought of even twenty years ago. The sub- ject is one clearly proper to be discussed, and great interest will attend the debate. One thing is quite certain, that whatever may be the result of the debates of the, Congress on the subjects wi have mentioned or other sub- jects to which we are unable from Lick of space to advert, the annual assemblage of the Church Congre. affords an illustration of the advantages of a National Church that could be supplied by no other religious organisa- tion in the land. Here bound by a common brotherhood in the fundamental faith of Christianity, members of a great Catholic Communion—we use the word in its proper s«nse, as opposed to narrow and sectarian— men can afford to :t their differences be known, and even to ducuss them in the full light of public observation. Of what other religious organisation In the country could this be said '? In the llomish Church such a meeting would be impossible there the clergy arc bound to obeywitliout question the authority of their spiritua' superiors, and have no right to express any opinion of their own, while the laity have to accept as unquestion- able the teaching of their priests. Amongst the various bodies of Noncomformisls it would be equally impossible for another reason— these are all of them sects, organised and united on some special ground or for the maintenance of some special principle or policy, which they must uphold, and cannot under any circumstances submit to the test of discussion. It is the glory as -well as neces- sity of a National Church that it should rise above the contracted limits of a sect, and with generous comprehensiveness include in her embrace all of every variety of opinion or conviction who hold the fundamentals of the faith. In the Church of England, it thus comes to pass, is to be found, as no where else, true Christian liberty.

THE election of County Councillors under the new Local Government Act will be hcl 1 early in the month of January, and the country is only awaking now to the magnitude of the revolution in our system of internal gov- ernment that has been silently accomplished ^■"theeoiOH.'Tenccof both the £ »»];? loal parties, Wi: hav< taken the opportunity to remark more than one occasion, the no v 1aw is ■ • jst comprehensive and at the -;amc time ■ most comp'icHtcd uvcr passed hy th*j Im- perial Parliament, and having consequences the most far reaching and Important. The power exercised by the new authority thus i created will be irnmt-nse. and it is no wonder that both the political parties should be ai1?- to obtain "the control of the Councils. Vhexi the Bill was passing through the ouse of Commons, Mr Ritchie expressed the oranion that no political consider ition.s would ij> i.- n, selection of members of C'oun- would ?'-■ non-mrv "v "vision-J' •k K ./that c J < T1-' tirit it/ occa-(a even a. was irlt'.stable that :!j *oint f^ls must be on party tt attempt to avert this c .è. > would be only time and strength thrown away- The soundness of this opinion is al- readv justified. The Radicals are everywhere preparing for the contest, and in some re- pects the coming contests all over England will have more excitement than a General Parliamentary Election. Each party will put forth its utmost strength to get the ascendant in the first Councils elected, for as a rule, that will secure ascendancy in the same body for some years to come, as the selection of alder- men will add to the strength of the dominant party one sixth of the number of the entire council. The flew bodies invested with such powers as we have never had experience of will occupy a dignified position which may excite the ambition of any honourable man however exalted, and we would take the ap- portunitv of enforcing on constituencies the o-reat importance of the early selection of candidates of the right sort, men of high ) standing in the community in which they live, who are raised above the necessity or the temptation of personal objects of their own, (Tood men of business, shrewd and sensible. with some knowledge and experience of oublic affairs. The prompt selection of men of this character will have the additional ad- vantage of checking the aspirations of less important or less suitable men who_ might aspire to the office. It is to be borne in mind that the party organisation of the Conserva- tives is in good working order, and is just as applicable to this contest as to a Parliamen- tary election, so that there is no difficulty in preparing for the battle.

ADMISSION OF A FREEMAN.—At a special court held by the Mayor at the Council Cham* her on Tuesday last, Mr Ernest Bowen Brown Rowlands, of Gienmare House, Broad Haven, bar student, eldest son of Mr Bowen Rowlands, Q.C., and M.P. for Cardiganshire, was admitted a freeman of the Town and County of Haver- fordwcst. CAKDIFF HORSE SHOW.—The first prize, £10, offered at this Show for three-year-old hunters, was awarded to Cetewayo, exhibited by Mr Jno. Thomas, of Begelly. The third prize for cart horses was awarded to Maid of the West," exhibited by Lord Cawdor. Maid of the West also won the secoud prize in the class for cart mares in foal or with foal at foot. 1ST PEM. VOLUNTEER BATTALION WELSH REGIMENT.—The following regimental orders have been issued by Major E. Eaton-Evans, commanding Head-quarters — All rifles, bayonets, sight protectors and jags now in pos session of members are to be returned to the Armoury at once. Any members who may have empty cartridge cases in their possession are re- quested to bring them to the Armoury without delay. THE NEW TEMPER\NCE HALL.—The seve- ral orders of the Temperance Society have ar- ranged to hold a demonstration in this town on Monday next on the occasion of the laying of the memorial stones of the Temperance Hall, now in course of erection on the tute of the Old Dolphin, adjoining the Council Chamber. The: members of the Temperance Societies will as- semble in the Meat Market, and march through the principal streets in procession. The laying of the Memorial Stones will take place at 2.30, and will be performed by Lady Kensington, Mrs Lloyd Philipps, of Pentypark, Miss Eveleen Bowen Rowlands, and the Mayor (Mr T. Rule Owen.) A choir consisting of about 400 children will sing sel cted pieces, and addresses will also 'be delivered.—In the evening at 7.30 a public, meeting will be held in the Shire Hall, under the presidency of Mr Bowen Rowlands, Q.C., M.P. Addresses will be delivered by Councillor Bevan, of Cardiff, and other gentlemen. FAIn-The fair, held on Tuesday, was'moder- ately supplied with cattle, the demand for which was as good as it was at the former fair. The best qualities sold readily at enhanced rates, and very few animals remained unsold at the close of the fair. There was a good supply of sheep. the prices for which were stationary, and in this department a slow business was done. The horse fair was. as iisual, a mixed collection of animals for which there was little or no en- quiry. The pig fair was held on Wednesday, and was well attended. Prices were firm and the advance of the previous fair was gen- erally maintained. OLYMPIA" IX WALES.—The "North Wales Chronicles states this unique and splendidly conducted show, is making its first provincial tour, after an unprecedented success in London, where her Majesty the Queen and other mem- bers of the Royal Family patronised it on more than one occasion. It is a weakness with most circus proprietors to exaggerate the size of their establishments and the capabilities of their troupes, but we have no hesitation in saying that this is not the policy pursued by the mana- gers of the Olympia. They announce that their circus is twice as large, twice as good, and totally different to the ordinary circus." We endorse these statements, and confidently assert that they rather under-rate than exaggerate the merits of the show, which is held in a large can- vas pavilion capable of holding 7000 persons The public procession is very fine, and we ar not surprised to hear that it creates a big sn- sation wherever it goes. We have no space to particularise all the items of the programme which was presented, but we must not omit to mention the stag hunt with the identical stags and hounds used at the London Olympia. which was patronized by 600,000 persons whilst it was open. From what we have said, those who have not yet seen this travelling Olympia may.learn that it is a thoroughly genuine entertainment, and therefore entitled to liberal patronage at the hands ot the public. They have a grand procession each day at 12.30 and two perform- ances daily—the first at 2.30 and the second at 7. 45. The circus will visit Pembroke Dock, Saturday, September 22nd Milford Haven, Monday Haverfordwest, Tuesday Narberth, Wednesday St. Clears, Thursday,

_n_ NARROW ESCAPE OF THE BISHOP OF LLANDHFF. On Wednesday afternoon a serious mishap befel the Bishop of Llandaff's carriage at Pen- arth. His lordship had proceeded thither from Llandaff for the purpose of holding a cofirma- tion service at the House of Mercy, After call- in0" at the rectory, where he was joined by the rector, the Rev Charles Parsons, M.A., rural dean the Rev F. E. Williams, senior curate of the parish and the Rev Edward Downman, missioner, the carriage proceeded with its occu- pants to the House of Mercy. When within about a quarter of a mile of its destination the carriage suddenly began to rock to and fio with such violence that it was impossible to remain seated. To get out of the carriage was impera- tive although dangerous. The Rector ot' Pen* arth was the first to alight, followed by Mr Wil- liams both of whom at once went to the front to securh the bridle, the bishop and Mr Downman also managing to gain terra firina. It was now seen that one of the horses bad fallen down and had literally been dragged along on itn knees by the other horse, the carriage being thus caused to sway. The poor animal's legs were so seriously injured that it was left at Penarth to be destoyed. Without any unnecessary delay the bishop proceeded on foot to the House of Mercy and confirmed seven of the inmates, the rural dean acting as chaplain. Meanwhile the carriage returned to Llandaff with one horse only, his lordship subsequently following in another conveyance. The rural dean sustained a little injury to his hand in jumping from the carriage, but with this exception we are glad to state that all escaped unhurt.

CRICKETING ON PORTFIELD. SlR,—Certainly not intentionally did I omit the name of the Reverend Mr Harries, vicar of St. Bride's, as a local cricketer from my letter in the Pembroke- shire Hemld dated August 31st. Never, (not to MY knowledge), was the reverend gentleman a cricketer. I never knew till Friday, September 7th, that he ever played cricket. I never knew or recollect that he or Mr Barrett Huntley Harries ever once played on Port- field, and perhaps they no more saw nor recollect me playing there or up there at all looking on, than I ever ) saw or recollect them or either of .them playing or merely visiting the cricket ground. When did these two cricketers play ? Before my time perhaps or was it afterwards when I discontinued going up as a cricketer or else to see the cricketers on portfiekl, which I did alternately with playing myself. Bd the men I have meutiollnj in my letter in the Pembroke- shire Ilerald of August 31st, oftentimes took up but within popping crease and bowling crease at each wicket during many and many an 'over against ih • bowling and round hand bowling and funded also.

NARBERTH. PUBLIC MKKTING.—On Friday last a public meeting of the inhabitants was convened by Mr John Thomas, lii-,h constable, in view of the expense incurred in levelling a portion of the Town Moor for a recreation ground, to frame a scale of charges for the use of the levelled portion by strangers visiting the fairs. A misapprehension appeared to exist that charges were to be imposed upon farmers and dealers visiting the fairs to buy and sell stock, &c., but this was at once explained not to be so. The cattle fairs were entirely uninterfered with, but a committee consisting of Mr John Roblin. Dr. Price, Messrs John Roberts, D. T. Lewis, E. S. Morgan, W. P. Morgan, O. Cole, Thomas Morgan, D. Fisher, John Thomas, James James and John R. Evans, with Mr J. W. Thomas as hon. sec., was appointed to frame a IIcale of charges for circuses, shows, roundabouts, &c. The committee I met the same evening and again on Monday evening, and a sca'e was framed and published, and seems to meet with general approval. meet with general approval.

't (i In —William Williams, Picton-place^Neyland, was sum moned on the complaint of Mr John Jones, clerk to the Rural Sanitary Authority, for allowing a nu- ance on his premises.

WALTON WEST. CLOTHING CU B.- The managers of the Walton West Clothing Club beg to thank Mr and Mrs Howell Walters and several other kind friends who assisted to "et up the entertainment at Walton West on the 30th ultimo., which was most successful, and will enable them to give tlie bonus promised b.v the lie v. J. O. Harris to the poor members of the Ciub._ Ihe entertainment consisted of tableaux, with music and sin"in<" between the scenes. The tableaux were won- derfulfy well done for a country village, and gave «reat satisfaction to a crowded audience. The first was The old Woman who lived in her Shoe, who e the large family of very small children appeared en- joyinf the broth, and not caring much for the rod held °in suspense over them. The second, ^uld Robin Gray," was very effective in three scenes while the beautiful old Scotch song was plaintively while the beautiful old Scotch song was plaintively sung by Mrs George. The Sleeping Beauty was beautifully got up, and the scunes told their own tale. The second part commenced with Darby and Joan, illustrated by the favorite ballad sung by Mrs Howell Walters, which was much applauded. The various characters in Cinderella were well represented and posed, and speakingly told the <>ld fairy tale. An Eastern scene represented a Syrian maiden at a well, while a Bedouin reposed by its side. The last was Britannia with helmet, shield and trident, standing in the midst of all the many characters of the former scenes, a fit emblem of England's extended sway, while Rule Britannia was sung; concluding with God save the The necessary intervals be- tween the scenes were well filled with music and song, and the Managers beg gratefully to thank all the friends who so kindly and ably added to the suc- cess of the undertaking by enlivening the time occu- pied with preparing the various scenes, while great praise and thanks are due to Mr and Mrs Howell Walters for the indefatigable zeal with which they arranged and canied out the programme.

CRICKET. PICTOX CAsTLE v. BeRTOX.-On Monday last, in beautifully fine weather, these two teams played a closely contested match on the Picton Castle ground. Burton winning the toss elected to send in the home team, which was a. decided favour to the latter. Messrs M. Samson and D. P. Lewis led off the bat- ting to the bowling of Elkins and Goodridge. and some capital cricket was displayed, but unfortunately when the score had reached 17, D. P. Lewis was nicely caught by A. Gwilliam. M. Samson then had the best part of the rungetting all to himself, and after an almost faultless innings of 34 runs, (in which were 5 threes, several doubles and singles) he suc- cumbed to a ball from Anstee, one of the Burton colts. Total runs at end of inningi 61. Before Bur- ton went to the wickets the teams adjourned to lun- cheon at Picton Farm Sil Charles Philipps presid- ing. On resuming play the first part of the Burton innings was uninteresting owing to the splendid bawl- ing of Geo. Davies and D. P. Lewis, but when the veteran captain of the team W. Morris took his stand at the wicket, matters began to look brighter for the f visitors. Runs bet;an to get more plentiful, but when 1 Morris had added a well earned 8, he was neatly caught at short slip by D. P, Lewis. Much praise is due to the tail end of the team for compiling most of the total of 39. The 2nd innings of both teams need I no comment as will be seen by the tig-ures below. The bowling and fielding of Burton were excellent, and since last season the Picton team have shown a decided improvement. Sir Charles and Lady Philipps were keenly interested throughout the same, and at its conclusion invited the rival teams to tea at the Castle. Lady Philipps, Miss Philipps, and Mr H. Philipps were most assiduous in their attention to the visitors. The following is the score :— PICTON CASTLE.—1st. and 2nd. Innings.—D. P. Lewis, c. Gwilliam b. Elkins, 10, b. Goodridge, 0 M.

Sarah Ellen Crookes, aged 11, the daughter of a spoon and fork filer, living in St. Stephen's- road, Sheffield, was left in an attic on Tuesday, and shortly afterwards a shriek was heard. It was 'ben found that the girl had got out of the win'ovv, and was hanging on by the slates of tY^roof at a height of 50 feet from the ground, before help could reach her she fell and was v/ded.

FREEDOM OF SPEECH. j Speaking at Meelin, Co. Cork, on Stiiiday, 2nd September, Dr. Tanner, M.P., indulged in his usual rhetoric. He said Balfour might send Father Kennedy to prison to stir up their blood in order that he might shoot them down and murder them. Balfour the brave was Bal- four the coward, Balfour the liar, and Balfour the murderer. (Cheers.) — "Cork Herald,' 4th September, 1888.

OVERTAKEN BY "COERCION." This morning three young men were arrested at Ballycorick near Kiidysart, on a charge of being concerned in a Moonlighting outrage at Lavalla on Sunday morning. It appears that a party numbering six entered tho farmyard of a mfin named Spcllacy, and destroyed about 30 tons of hay by scattering it under the rain. Spellacy, who was concealed behind a hedge, recognised three of the Moonlighters—John and Thomas Sexton and Patrick Conlan. Information was at once conveyed to the Kiidysart constabulary, who proceeded to the scene of the outrage and arrested the three per- sons mentioned upon the information of Spel- lacy. They were brought before the Hon. Jud«-e Henn this afternoon, at Paradise, and remanded foi a week without bail. The case will be tried before a special Crimes Court at Kildysart on the 11th September. Great ex- citement prevails here.—" Daily Express," 4th Septamber, 18SS.

IRELAND UNDER "BOMBA." Another outrage was perpetrated on Monday night near the village of Kilmihill, About ten o'clock a band of six armed Moonlighters knocked at the house of a farmer named John Meade, who was retiring to bed. He declined to open the door, and remarked that it was high time for all persons to be in bed. The Moonlighters forced the door, caught Meade by the collar, and, after tearing off his clothes, took him out to the fields aud beat him with sticks in a most unmerciful manner. They I, then forced bim on his knees and compelled him to swear that he would never agaiu pay rent without consulting the other tenant farmers in the same neighbourhood. The only cause assigned for this shocking C, outrage is that Meade p:i.id his rent, having received a reduction of 40 per cent.' The un- fortunate man is in a very weak condition. No arrests have been made.—' Daily Express,' 5th September, 1S8S.

BOMBA AND BALFOUR. gIR)—Mr Gladstone visited Wrexham on Tuesday, and, in reply to an address from the local Liberal Association, reaffirmed, with additional particulars, his recent statement that King Bornba did not com- pel his political prisoners, at Naples, as Mr Balfour did the Irish prisoners, to consort with felons and wear the prison dress. On p. 31C of the Histoire de la Renaissance Politique de l'ltalie," par R. Rey (Michael Levy, Paris, 1861), the author says :— L'autorite plongea 1'elite de la societe napolitaine pour les lumieres, la vertu, la naissance, le patrio- tisme, dans les bagnes et les cachots infects de Nisida," &c. Leur peine emportait le traitement des gulerieni; on ne leur en epargna aiicune ignomhue, ni le costume, ni les fers. Dans ecrtaines prisons on rivait an de- tenu politique a la chaine d'un assassin." This is ex- plicit enough testimony on the particular points al- luded to. I am, Sir, your obedient servant. D. S.

THE PARNELL COMMISSION. The Special Commission to inquire into the charges brought against the Irish Members of Parliament, in the recent action of "O'Do.N- r,,LL v. WALTER," assembled for the first time on Monday, Sir J. IlAX>7EX presiding. Counsf 1 argued various points, and the Court decided, among other things, that it lay with the defen- dants in the action to open the proceedings, and that they should make a general discovery of all the documents they possessed. The other side must also discover the documents ill their hrrids. Exact fac-similes, probably by photography, cf the letters alleged by Mr. PAKXELL to be forgeries are to be furnished. Mr. WALTER'S Counsel declined to say what allegations or charges he made, and added that he could not give particulars as to what persons were charged. The Court said if Counsel did not assist, the Com- missioneis would find out what they wanted to know for themselves. It was also decided that an application for a Commission to examine witnesses in America was premature. An order was made for the release of Mr.JoilN DILLON (n October 18, on his own recognizances, to give evidence befoie the Commission which ad- journed to October 22.

THE STATE OF IRELAND. Mr J. Cox, M.P. for East Clare, arrived at Kilkec on Monday night, and was the object of a great demonstration. Tar barrels were blazed on the battlements in front of his hotel all night, while a procession, headed by a band, marched through Kilkec until the early hours of Tuesday morning, playing national music. Mr Cox merely expressed his acknowledgments of the honour paid to him by the people. On Monday afternoon he was met near Mcyaste, close on the scene of the late evictions on the Vandeleur estate, by two reporters, and while declining to be interviewed as to the working of the Plan of Campaign on the Vondeleur estate, he stated that the tenants to a man would stick to the Plan. Mr Cox is accompanied in his visit to Clare by a number of friends. A Sheriff's sale of a number of cattle belong- incr to a tenant named Thomas Liddane, of Pehy, by file landlord, Mr Hugh Pattison Hickman, of Finloe, in East Clare, took place on Tuesday. It was conducted by the Sheriff's deputy, pro- tected by a large force of police. The cattle were seized for a year and a half's rent, amount- ing, with costs, to i'GO. Tnere was a large number of persons present at the pound where the sale took place. They jeered and groaned during the proceedings. The cattle were bought in for the tenant by Mr Thomas Nolan, of Kilkee, for £ 10. After the sale the cattle, which were decorated with green ribbons and other national emblems, were paraded through the streets, accompanied by a band and a large gathering of people. The police, with drawn batons and bayonets, formed a cordon in Albert- road to prevent them passing through, but were soon forced away. The cattle were then driven home, and the people were addressed at Kilfierag-cross by Father Hays, of Kilbally- owen. The houses of several farmers, residing in the town-land of Camas, about three miles from Newcastle West, were raided on Monday night for arms by a party of ten men, armed and dis- guised. The party succeeded in carrying off two guns. No arrests have been made. b An extraordinary affair occurred on Tuesday at the Williamston, county Gal.way, Dispensary. Some friction has lately been caused by the re- fusal of Dr. Fitzgibbon, the Dispensary medical officer, to reside in the town, and efforts to en- force his doing so have been made, but without success. A mob of about four hundred peasants on Tuesday invaded the Dispensary, ana sub- jected the doctor to very rough handling. Father Cuiran, the parish priest, and some magistrates, interfered to save Dr. Fitzgibbon from further illtieatment. The police cf the town, four ill number, were unable to check the disturbance. The National School for Girls, at Ballyneale, Carrick-on-Suir, has been temporarily closed, owing to the children having been withdrawn from the tuition of Miss Duggan, the teacher, who has been boycotted, owing to her family having entered into-possession of an evicted tenant's lands.

On Wednesday afternoon a lad about eleven years of age, named Keen, committed suicide by hanging himself in the bedroom of his father's house at Garston, near Liverpool. He had re- fused to go to school, and to punish him his father locked him in the bedroom, III a fit of rage and disappointment the rerkioss youth fastened a cord to a vantilator in the wall and hanged him- self. He was cut down a few minutes after- wards, but life was extinct. A shocking gun accident was reported to tlie Gloucestershire police, neat Bristol, on Tuesday A young gentleman, name Lees, of Rocklease, Stoke Bishop, had lately been in the habit ot amusing himself with a revolver, with which he hot, birds from the skyiigi of his bed-room. On Tuesday afternoon he was~wa.iting the arrival of a companion from olifton, and was indulging ill his lIsual pastime. He appears to have fallen off the chair lie mounted to reach the skylight, and, the revolver prematurely exploding, the contents entered his body, and he died in- stantly. A NRW EXPLOSIVE.—Sir F. Abel, chemist to the War Department, has invented a portable explosive to take the place of gunpowder in -small-arm cartridges, and yet to be so perfect of combustion as to leave behind neither smoke nor evil-smelling gases. The secret of the com- position has been placed at the disposal of the the War Office, and after the exhaustive series of trials now being arranged, the Ordnance officers are satisfied as to the wonderful proper- ties claimed for the compound, it will be sup- plied iu lieu of gunpowder iu the cartridges for the new magazine rifle.

THE LIBERAL UNIONISTS. J The conference of the Yorkshire and West of England Liberal Unionist Association was held on Tuesday at Bradford, under the presidency i of Mr Powell Williairs, M.P. There was a large attendance, and several important matters were dealt with. In the evening the Right Hon. Joseph Chamberlain, M.P., addressed a, crowded audience, and reiterated nis conviction that if the Liberal Unionists remained firm and loyal to their cause complete success would crown their efforts.

LOST AT SEA. Letters received from Singapore tell a sad story of the fate of two members of the crew of her Majesty's ship Firebrand. Leaving Batavia on the 1st of July, the Firebrand sailed for the Cocos Islands, with instructions to look for traces of the-fated ship Wasp. During the stay at the Islands the gunner and gunner's mate obtained permission to take out the private skiff belonging to the ship for a sail. They did not return, as expected, in the evening, nor yet the next day, when their continued absence created great alarm among all on board, as it was known that the locality abounded with treacherous sunken coral reefs, and was, moreover, infested with sharks. Steam was got up on board the Firebrand, and an anxious search was made for the mi, sing enes. During two days the quest was Kept up, but without any success, and the vessel then left the neighbourhood, the crew having but little doubt that their unfortunate comrades had perished.

SOLDIERS' RATIONS. A circular letter has just been issued from the War Office by Lord Wolseley to the General Officers commanding at home and abroad, call- ing for a report as to what may be considered necessary to improve the diet of her Majesty's troops, and also the method of cooking. In the latter respect the consensus of opinion is to the effect that two systems which are on trial are much appreciated, but it is the opinion of officers commanding, from whom reports have already been received, that the chief drawback to the soldiers' diet is that it is so similar day after day and, unless a man is able to supplement his meals by adding, at his own expense, fish, eggs, butter, cheese, &c., he gets no change of diet during the greater part of the year. It is alleged that the fuel allowed for cooking is in- sufficient, as well as the meat ration, which, it is suggested, should be increased from three- quarters of a pound to a pound per day. Some of the reports complain about the quality of the flour supplied for the Government ration of bread, and there are numerous advocates for an increased allowance of meat, and a change of vegetable diet.

A HUSBAND CHARGED WITH ROBBING HIS WIFE. At the Croydon Town Ilall, on Monday Edward Westlake, of Chestnut Cottage, Thor- ton-heatb, was brought up on a warrant, granted by the Mayor, and charged uuder the Married Woman's Property Act with stealing a horse and cart, two diamond rings, a gold watch, and a quantity of silver jewellery, of the value of £62. and about £ 90 in money belong- ing to his wife Elizabeth Westlake, on the 11th September last. Mr Dennis, solicitor, prose- cuted, and MrS. G. Edridge, solicitor, defended. The Prosecutrix's statement was that she was formerly a Mrs Baker, and had built up a business as a wardrobe dealer in an extensive way. On the death of Mr Baker she married the Prisoner, who, she declared, had not a shirt to his back at the time. She gave him £50, and allowed him ample money but he had taken all kinds of goods and money of hers. Some time ago he left her, but returned penniless, and said he had had to sleep under a hedge. She took him back; but on Tuesday last he again left her, taking away the goods mentioned in the charge sheet. He had taken all kinds of things from her, and nearly reduced her to beggary. She was willing to give him half of all she had, but would not have him to interfere with her business. Cross-examined by Mr Edridge, Prosecutrix denied that her husband was in partnership with her. He had had his name painted on the carts, and got out cards, but she had all along refused to allow it, and the goods were all purchased with her money. The Prisoner had got a key of her safe but not with her consent. He had paid £50 into the bank, but that was the £50 she gave him when they were married. Mr Dennis asked fer a re- mand. Mr Edridge contended that the case would not warrant even a remand. The Bench, however, adjourned the case for a week, and admitted the Prisoner to bail.

THREATENED SALT MONOPOLY. Mr J. Granville Layard, writing to the Stand- ard on the 17th inst. says—In a short extract from the "Norwich Chronicle, you make an an- nouncement of the formation of a salt Syndicate, which is fraught with serious import to the general consumer. It seems (if the statement is correct) that all the Cheshire Salt Works have been provisionally acquired by the Syndicate, and that they are still proceeding to purchase the smaller works in Worcestershire and Durham. By this ingen- ious little scheme it is hoped to raise the price of salt from two shillings and sixpence to ten shillings per ton. As the annual sale is some ten millions of tons, the increase on the existing price, which the projectors hope to reap, will be about; seven: hundred and fifty thousand pounds a year, if j the scheme is carried out and the consumption maintained. Knowing, as some of us do. what curao similar monopolies are in the United States, where they bear the euphonious name of Trusts," surely it is not unnecessary at once I to raise a note of alarm, and to ask the public I Press to use their influence to prevent this great evil. Shortly put, the device is to crush out com- petition by the mere weight of wealth, and then leave the British public to pay the piper, or to go saltless. How keenly our American cousins feel the pinch of such iniquitous monopolies is evidenced by the fact, that their limitation of destruction is one of the prominent features in the forth- coming Presidential Election. Our only'means of solvation in this present matter is for the newspapers to take it up, and rouse public feeling in regard to it. j The proprietors of the yet uubought work I might be urged not to allow themselves to be engulfed in this greedy plan, but to continue to supply the public at fair prices. A wonder- ful increase of business would he their reward. If but a few proprietors firmly remained out. side the Syndicate, they would, in addition to preventing a tremendous loss to the public, put money in their pockets. We have put up with Rings in copper and Corners" in wheat, but for goodness sake let us make a staud in defence of the domestic salt. cellar.

THE WHITECIIAPEL MURDERS. The inquest as to the death of Mary Ann Nichols, whose shockingly mutilated body was found in a gateway, in Whitechapel, early on the morning of The 31st ult., was resumed on Monday. Not one of the witnesses was able to give any account of the circumstances imme- diately preceding the murder of the woman. The inquiry was adjourned till Saturday. The Foreman of the Jury expressed the opinion that if a substantial reward had been offered, with regard to the first murder in the district, the last two murders would never have been per- petrated. Prosecutor said that at three o'clock that morning he was standing at a coffee stall in Whitechapel, when the accused came up drunk and, in consequence, was refused to be served. He then said to prosecutor, 'What are you look- ing at,' and then pulled out a knife and tried to stab witness. Ludwig followed him round the stall and made several attempts to stall him. A constable came up, and he was given into custadv. Constable 221 H said the prisoner was in a very excite condition, and witness had pre- viously received information that prisoner was wanted in the City for attempting to cut a woman's throat with a razor. On the way to the station prisoner dropped a long-bladed open knife, and on him was found a long-bladed pair of scissors. Inspector Pimley, H Division, asked the magistrate to remand the prisoner, as they had not had sufficient time to make the necessary in- quiries concerning him. A City constable, John Johnson, stated that early tbat morning he was on duty in the Minories, when he heard screams of murder proceeding from a dark court in which there wore no light's. The court led to some railway «rehes, au] was well kuown a a a dangerous local- ity. On going into tin- court he found the pri- xonerwitha pros!i;uto. The former appeared to be under the influence of drink. Witness asked what ho was doing there, when he re- plied, "Nothing." The woman, who appeared to be in a very frightened and agitated condi- tion said, Ob, policeman, do take me out of this." The woman was so frightened that she could make no further statement then. He out the man off and walked with the woman to the end of his beat, when she said lie frightened me very much when he pulled a big knife out. Witness said Why didn't you tell me that at the time," and she replied, "I was too much frightened." He then went and looked for the prisoner, but could not find him, and, therefore, warned several other constables of the occur- rence. Witness had been out all the morning trying to find the woman, but up to the present time without success. He should' know her again. He believed prisoner worked in the U neighbourhood. The magistrate tlie/eupon remanded prisoner.

.DKVOTION TO Oxi: i'L-nsuIT.Thc're are persons willing to devote themselves so utterly to some one thing that they are well-nigh powerless in other directions. The business which they rightly take up as a means to certain valuable ends becomes at length an end in itself ,to which they sacrifice health and leisure, family and friends, culture and plea- sure, and sometimes even life itself. Even from their own narrow stand-point this is a mistake. The business which masters the man is never so well done as that which he masters. It needs for its per- fection just that breadth of view and largeness of experience which can only come through other j channels. SACEEDXESS OF TEARs.-Thcre is a sacredness in tears. They are not the sign of weakness, but of j power. They speak more eloquently than ten thousand tongues. They are the messengers of overwhelming grief, of deep contrition, and of un- speakable love. Oh, speak not harshly of the stricken one, weeping in silence break not the deep solem- nity by rude laughter or intrusive footsteps; scoff not if the stern heart of manhood is sometimes melted by sympathy they are what help to elevate him above the brute. We love to see tears of affection. ODDTEXTS.— Clergymen sometimes select odd texts on which to hang their sermons. Here are two which were chosen by a divine who recently died at Wellingborough And he took from the lion's mouth two legs and! he part of an ear "Foar-and- twenty knives and a fork." But still more curious is one that was chosen; by a clergyman in the days of chignons: "Top-not come down." Ou some of his congregation waiting upon him to ask him in what part of the Bible he had found it, he referred them to Matthew xxiv. 17, "Let him which is on the house-top not come down." "When Dublin Cathedral was re-opened after restoration at the expense of a Mr. Wise, the Archbishop took for his text, Go thou and do like Wise." Not to be out- done, a clergyman in the diocese, when opening a church built by a brewer, said that his text was" to be found, He brews xxx. PTAEMIGAN.—The ptarmigan is the smallest of the British grouse, and the most interesting. All the birds of ..this family have the power of assiirdla- ting to their surroundings in a remarkable degree, and none exercises it more than the ptarmigan. "The red grouse finds its concealment perfect among brown and purple heather. It has its food and shelter in one or two characteristic shrubs; and, as these are found nowhere else in abundance, neither is the red grouse. The willow grouse is the white bird which in winter adorns the game-shops and is usually sut down as the ptarmigan. It is a large and robust bird, consequent upon its wide range and abundant food supply, and acquires almost purely white plumage in winter. The close cousin of these two is the ptarmigan, or, in other words, the white grouse of the lichen patches. TIIE SEvEN BIBLES of the world arc the Koran of the Mahommedans, the Eddas of the Scandinav a ;8, the Try Pitikes of the Buddhists, the Five Kings of the Chinese, the Vedas of the Hindoos, the Zendavesta, and the Scriptures of the Christians. The Koran is the most recent of these seven Bibles, and not older than the seventh century of our era. It is a compound of quotations from the Old and New Testaments, the T Imud, and the gospel of St. Barnabas. The Eddas of the Scandinvians were first published in the fourteenth century. The Pitikes of the Buddhists contain sublime morals and pure aspirations, but their author lived and died m the sixth century n.c. There is nothing of excellence in these sacred books not found in the Bible. The sacred writings of the Chinese are called the Five Kings, king meaning web of cloth, or the warp that keeps the thread in their place. They contain the best sayings of the best sages on the ethico-political duties of life. These say- ings cannot be traced to a period higher than the eleventh century B.c. The three Vedas are the most ancient books of the Hindoos, and it is the opinion of Max Miiller, vVllson, Johnson, and Whitney that they are not older than eleven cen- turies B.C. VALENTINES.—The precise mode of celebrating St. Valentine's Day seems to have varied at diiierent times, and perhaps in different localities. The present custom of sending complimentary, or un- complimentary missives to recipients lixed upon at random, and of nrdring the Post OUice the vehicle of amorous or sarcastic addresses, is a modern innova- tion. Originally, the Valentine was the person selected as a temporary partner by another, and the selection was not a matter of choice. In the earliest times it was determined by lots. The names of a select number of one sex were put into a vessel by an equal number of the other, after which each drew a name, which was the drawer's valentine." Witness poor "Robin's Almanack," under date February 11th, 1G76 Now Andrew, Anthony, and William, For valentines draw Prue, Kate, Jilian." Subsequently, or perhaps contemporaneously, but in other parts, the valentine was the first woman seen by a man, or the first man SCCll by a woman on the important day. A DOG TIIAT CAN TELL THE TIITE. — A dosr who can, by merely glancing at his master's watch" tell the time of day, and, whati- mere, signify the same by a series of single barks at regular intervals to denote the hour and a couple of short vtps I to signify a half-hom; may miry, I think," writes "Rapier" in the >Sporlhnj ,111.1 I)rnntnilc Xeics "lay claim to being set down as 'talented.' A friend of mine had one that performed this feat-with never-failing accuracy. Having for a long while fruitlessly endeavoured to find out how it was done,' his owner one day kindly consented to satisfy my curiosity. Holding his watch in the palm of his left hand, he called Billy to him, and propounded the regular query, What's the time ?' The dog immediately put his head on one side, assumed an excceuingdy knowing appearance, and presently barked five times in succession, winding up with a couple of 'yaps.' On reference to the watch, the exact time was found to be twenty-five minutes Pa^, five o c,/»ck. 'Right you are, Billy—good bif l7']Uii arp««°d immensely pleased with himself forthwith.

A STRANGE APPLICATION. At Westminster on Tuesday, an elderly man, who was among the applicants to Mr D'Eyn- court, said he wished to have his worship's ad- vice on behalf of his daughter. The young woman was to have been married last Saturday week, and everything was ready, the expectant bridegroom having purchased the necessary fur- niture for the home and arranged all the pre- liminaries of the wedding. He failed, however, to put in an appearance at the church, and it has since been ascertained that on the morning of the Wednesday previous he left his home. He had never returned, and his friends had not since heard of him, nor did they know his whereabouts.—Mr D'Eyncourt remarked that he could not bring the bridegroom back, and asked the Applicant what he wanted.—Appli- cant Of course, the goods my daughter paid for with her own money belong to her but what about the furniture the young man bought for the home ? Suppose my girl sold the things, how would she stand ? (laughter).—Mr D'Eyn- court I can't tell you. It's rather H. compli- cated affair.-Applicant There's another thing. The young man had my daughter's gold watah to take to the City to be repaired. That disap- peared when he did—it's gone too (laughter).— Mr D'Eyncourt You can have a summons for detaining the watch.Applicant: That's no good. I tell you what I shall do, guv'nor. I shall sell the thingsmyself, taking it on my own responsibility—that's the best thing. Let some one take out a summons against me. Good morning (loud laughter).
