FRANCE AND PRUSSIA. The semi-official Irovinzial Corresponds unit* that the meeting of Count Bismark and the pp'-or » Napoleon at Biarritz, considering the greE í ance which both attach to the Franco-Prussian at nance, cannot remain without political importance and effect. It maintains, however, most positively that all asser- tions in reference to particular political views or negotiations with which the journey of Count Bis- mark has been associated are incorrect.

TURKEY. The alienation of the Vacoufs (Mosque property) is again under consideration. The measure has been strongly opposed in Couneil by the Sheikh ul Islam, and is now replaced by a project of more partial appli- cation. General opposition is offered by the Ulemas, but some action of Government in the matter is nevertheless expected. A collision has occurred between the Circassian im- migrants and the Turkish troops at Enos. Several were killed on both sides. The construction of the Trebiaond road has been commenced. The Viceroy of Egypt has sent 180,000f. towards the relief of the sufferers by the late fire, and has besides ordered a distribution of food and clothing at his expense. A new district post is about to be established be- tween Constantinople and the neighbouring villages.

SPAIN. A tumultuous assemblage of peasants has taken place at Zaragoza, with the object of refusing payment of the municipal octroi. The measures taken by the authorities, however, promptly succeeded in restoring order.

THE Confederate Loan.—Mr, Laird, of Birkenhead, has not long continued solitary in his disclaimer of being a subscriber to the Confedeiate Cotton Loan. In yesterday's Times we observe a letter from another of the alleged holders —Mr. Beresford Hope, who writes to say that the statement is "a fabrication which has not even a basis of truth to stand upon." He never, he says, either held a farthing of the loan or embarked a farthing in blockade running. The sym- pathy," be adds, which I all along felt fqr the Southern States in their struggle for independence was wholly of a public and political nature." Mr. Hope was down in the New York Herald's life for £t.O.MG. Mr. G. E. Seymour, stock-broker, Londort, was also on the list for £40,000; and he, too, has addressed a letter to the Morning Post, giving an emphatic denial to the allegation in question." A Falsb Ar.4JUJ,-Mr. Edmond TattersaH, dating from Albert-gate, Hyde park, announced on the 2nd inst. that two horses bad actually died at Windsor of the rinderpest, publish- ing at the same time an infallible remedy for the said disease, which had been communicated to him by an Austrian officer, who bad cured a whole troop of cavalry horses with it. Mr. Harris, the Mayor of Windsor, startled, as well be might be, at the intelligence, immediately instituted an inquiry into the matter, and ascertained that no horse had died at Windsor of the disease in question. And on the very same day as that on which Mr. Tattersall promulgated the news, Mr. Harris recei. Ted the following letter, from which it will be seen that Mr. Tattersall knew nothing whatever about the subject on which he had written so positively and alarmingly:—'Tattersall's, Albert-gate, Hyderpark, Oct. 2.—Sir,—I was misinformed as to the place. The horses belonged to Captain Peyton, who is at Windsor, and my informant told me that the horses were there. It seems they were in Oxfordshire, and that one of them has recovered. You can see Captain Peyton at the bar- racks. The other case was given me by a veterinary surgeon, but it is not in your district.—Yours in haste, E. Tattersam. Primary Education in France.—The Moniteur and other papers across the Channel inform us daily of some new plan of the Minister of Public Instruction tending to the development of primary edideation in France, This tendency of the Government is favourably viewed by the masses; but men of enlightened minds are occupied with an important consideration, the indispensable complement of primary in- struction—namely, the application of the elementary know. ledge acquired at school. The author of a very interesting pamphlet, entitled, "Colportage, Primary Instructor and Useful Books for Country Places," very sensibly remarks, Of what use, indeed, is school if on bis leaving it the youth, left to hitpsplf, reads merely books without practical utility, authors obsonring history under 4 cloud of fiction and giving totally false views of real life e" The writer, M. A. de I'Etangi who bad already published in France a translation of Bpyeraflittle books, edited in England by the Society for the Promotion of Useful Knowledge," and other works, as, lor instance,—" The Results of Machinery," The House I live in," 4;< purposes, we understand, to establish in France, with the co-operation of various members of the Senate, Academy, Council of State, and of several general councils, a society of which the aim will be to provide at a cheap rate for the work- ing classes, and especially for villagers, not merely what are understood as good books," but also useful books, such as Des Machines et de Leurs Resultats," books which give useful and practical ideas on social economy as well as on the elementary application of the practical sciences, ideas which distinguish in so remarkable a manner the working classes in England' that M, de l'Etang has arrived in this country, intrusted with a mission by the French Government to study the working of the people's libraries, the organization of spewal societies for the publication and propagation of good And useful books in the country, the progress of tract societies, the success of book-hawking societies, Ac. Wo doubt not that M. do l'Etang will meet with a hearty welcome and com- plete assistance from all the special societies whose action extends throughout the United Kingdom. TJ[8 COURT ax Balmobal.—IJer Majesty the Queen and the Koyal Princesses, accompanied by her Koyal Highness the Princess Louise of Hesse, enjoy their ordinary walks and drives in the neighbourhood ot Balmoral every day. The weather has been very fine during the stay of the Court iu tbe North. On Saturday forenoon, the Royal party drove out by way of Brae- mar, &c.

LOCAL NEWS. -.1' ST. JOHN'S CHORAL CLASS.—A notice in our adver- tising columns states that c. it is intended to resume the class shortly." When the date is fixed notice will be given. The following Town Receiving Post-offices at Cardiff were yesterday, the 5th inst., opened for the transaction of Insurance and Annuity business, namely, Bute Docks, Canton, and Hoath EDUCATION IN CARDIFF.—We beg to refer our readers to the plan of instruction which the Rev. E. A. Green, assisted by competent masters, proposes to adopt during the winter months, and of which full particulars will be found in another column. PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH, CARDIFF.—-Messrs. James and Price, of Cardiff, have commenced digging out the found, tions of this new edifice, which will be erected in Wiecisor. place. The design is one which will harmonise vith the church already built in that neighbourhood, It is to accommodate 700 persons, and will cost a little over £ 3,500. THE CATTLE PLAGUE.—A form of prayer touching the cattle plague will be authorised by an order in Council to be used in all Churches on and after Sunday next. UNITED METHODIST FREE CHURCH.—The first anni versary services in connection with the new building in Guildford-street were held on Sunday and Monday. The Rev. W. Griffith, of Derby, preached twice on Sunday, and collections were made on behalf of the building fund. •M onday a tea and public meeting was held, when a large number attended, Mr. R. Cory in the chair. After the Chairman's opening speech, M r. Pinson read the report. The fioancial statement was as follows :—Cost of building, £ 2,420 16s. 4d. Towards meeting that outlay, the church had borrowed JE1000 on mortgage of the building sub. criptions received and promised, £1,034 Os. 5d.; proceeds of tea meeting at the opening, JE25 8s. lOd. colleotions at the opening services, t30 19s. lOd. balance due to the treasurer, E330 7s. 3d. Total debt on the premises, JE1,330 7s. 3d. The report concluded with an appeal to the public for help to wipe otf the E330 during the en- suing year. The architects, M essrs. Hartland and Son, and the builder, Mr. G. Gooderidge, were complimented for the work which they had accomplished in the erection of the building after which the Rev. W. Watkiss, the minister of the chapel, delivered an address on church prosperity. Other addresses followed before the meeting separated. THE JEWISH COMMUNITY IN CARDIFF.—We are re- quested by Mr. S. Marks, the President of the Cardiff Hebrew Congregation, to state that on Saturday last, the day of atonement, the Rev. Nathan Jacobs, the resident minister, preached an impressive sermon on Charity, in aid of the Jews of Palestine, who are now suffering from famine and cholera. At the close of the rev. gentleman's discourse, offerings were made by the congregation, up. wards of JE30 being collected. As the Jewish community in Cardiff is small, the President asks for the aid of his Christian friends." 0DDFELLOWSHIP.—A quarterly meeting of the members of the Cardiff district of Oddfellows was held on Monday last, at the Marquis of Bute Lodge, Patrick-street, Docks. There were present-the G. M., Mr. J. Y. Walters, in the chair; the D.G.M., Mr. W. W. Cogan, in the vice-chair the C.S., Mr. S. Hewitt; treasurer, Mr. H. B. Buckingham r»i;eyinsr officer, Mr. T, Jenkins, and ten delegates. The sum or L i St "'d. was received; and as the payments "rt comparative!? -inall, larqe amount remained in the trfa: tfti The oniv c f -nortance brought torv .«! -N-am taut or Morgan, the of a deceased mf (thcf, who. so; u 7"e: put in a claim for u .f oi. £ 130 ou <J.- "r-.r :v. Lodge; but if- j having been resisteu, -.v^s ultimo! to tt.0 j Board of Directors, at Maneuver-. J?eforj giv>. £ tl eir i decision, the Grand Master (Dr. Price, oi A V>-dare), fJle j to Cardiff in order to investigate the circumstance at- tending the affair, and a compromise was proposed with no effect. At the next meeting of the Board it was ruled that, as the widow bad not made her application at the time required by the laws, she was not legally" entitled to the above sum; but, under the peculiar circumstances of the case, they recommended the lodge to make her a suitable gift. As that recommendation has not hitherte received the attention which it deserved, the affair was most warmly taken up at the meeting on Monday, and a resolution was passed calling upon the lodge to re consider the recommendation of the Board. Considerable sympathy is felt throughout the district for Mrs. Morgan, and hopes are entertained that the members will now act in accord- ance with the principles they profess to entertain for the widow and orphan, and which were so feelingly enunciated in the district address of condolence to the Queen on the death of the Prince Consort. THEATRE ROYAL, CARDIFF.—Qn Friday evening Mr, H. S. Wynn took his benefit at this theatre, of which he has now had the management, we believe, nearly six months. A domestic drama, entitled The Rose of Ettrick Vale, was selected for the occasion, the part of 11 Wandering Steenie, a Mindless Rover," being enacted with good taste and much feeling by the manager. We are informed that several novelties are in preparation for the coming winter season. Among others we hear of a grand comic pantomime, with new scenery, dresses, and appointments. The re-decoration of the house is also, if we are correctly informed, in contemplation. ENTERTAINMENT AT THE MUSIC HALL.—We paid a 'rV llT" "iV/7.-T"nr' i? tb'i.hall, and were well pleased with the "Literary, Musical, and Pictorial iiintercain- .,re ..deased ment," provided by Messrs. Poole and Young. The spectator has the pleasure of witnessing the most astounding Spectral Illusions," to wit a Ghost, and of seeing "The Glorious Shrine," of which the artist, Mr. Gompertz, has good reason to be proud. The vocal and instrumental part of the entertainment is entitled to our warm commendation. ACCIDENT.—On Monday evening, about 9 o'clock, a man named Pilkington, formerly a sergeant in the Irish Constabulary, and now living in Halkett-street, Canton, was crossing the road by the Cardiff Arms, in a state of intoxication. He fell down in the road, and a cab coming up at a rapid pace, the driver was unable to pull up, and one of the wheels passed over his chest. He was taken up and being found to be bleeding from other wounds, was placed in the cab, and taken to the Infirmary- His injuries were carefully attended by the lIouse Surgeon, and in a short time he had so far recovered as to walk home. ROBBERIES.-On Tuesday morning a man named Wyndham Thomas, a mason, of Treforest, came to the police station, and reported that while sleeping in the cabin of one of Mr. Powell's boats, lying in the Old Canal, on Monday night, some person came into the cabin and stole from him a silver watch, 30a. in gold, and 22s. in silver.—The same morning the chief mate of the ship Saxon, of Scarborough, reported at the station that -while in a brothel in Nelson-street, on Monday evening, in company with a prostitute, she robbed himofajLS Bank of England note. COUNTY ELECTION EXPENSES.—The expenses attendant upon the recent election of Cristopher Rice M ansel Talb.ot, Esq the lord-lieutenant, and Henry Hussey Yivian. Esq., as members for the county of Glamorgan, have just been published by the High-Sheriff, T. W, Booker, Esq. The expenses of Lmv. Talbot are stated to be 433 5s. 2d. and of Mr, Vivian t47 7a. 8d. The expenses include but two items—sheriff's charges for each gentleman, £ 17 3s. 2d. the other for advertising. Upon the previous occasion, when Nash Edwards Vaughan, Esq., contested the county upon Conservative principles, the expenses of each can- didate amounted to between £ t0OO and .t3000. CANTON.—Qn Thursday last the members of the Prince of Wales Club were entertained by their President, Dr. R. T. Pearce, at a dinner provided at the Canton Hotel. About twenty gentlemen did honour to the hospitality displayed by their President, whose health—after the usual loyal toasts had been disposed of—was suitably proposed by Mr. Geake, and the manner in whioh it was received clearly demonstrated the high esteem in which the President was held. A most enjoyable and social evening was spent, and not a little enhanced by the good taste displayed by Mr. and Mrs. Thorne, the landlord and landlady of the Canton Hotel Everything was of the best: and called forth general approval and thanks. SALE OF HOUSES AT CANTON.—We are requested to state that the sale of the freehold houses at Romily Crescent Canton, will take place at the Glove and Shears Inn instead of the Angel Hotel as before advertised. ACCIDENT TO THE MAYOR OF BRISTOL.—A serious acci- dent happaned on Sunday evening to Mr. W. Naish, the mayor of Bristol, which it is feared will Incapacitate him for the performances of his official duties for some time. He was standing on a chair, doing something to the gas, when he slipped off and fell on the fender, fracturing a rib and otherwise injuring himself. A BAPTIST TICKET, We extract the following charac. teristic illustration from one of Mr. Spurgeon's discourses, at Newport on Tuesday last:—"In America there used to be a custom that when a minister on a journey put up at an inn, he was not called upon to pay for his lodgings and food. One day a young sprig fresh from college put up at an inn, expecting to get exemption from payment. In the evening he went to bed without calling the family together for prayers, and the landlord, having his suspicions watched him, and noticed that he got into bed without saying his own prayers. The next morning, as he was leaving, the landlord presented his bill, upon which the young man said he could not pay. as he was a minister. To this the landlord rejoined, I You may be a minister, but you went to bed like a sinner, you got up like a sinner, and you shall pay like a sinner.' If people traded and lived like sinners, they would be dammed like sinners. It would not do to merely profess to be Christians-tbe Lord would not accept them any the more because they had a Baptist ticket on them REPRESENTATION OF BRECON.—A second candidate has come forward for the representation of this borough in the person of Mr Howel Gwyn, of Duffryn, Glamorganshire. Mr. Gwy.n is a Conser. ati ve, and he unsuccessfully con- tested Barnstaple at the last general election. He sat in the Conseryat; e interest for Penryn tor several years. The Earl of Brecknock is the only candidate in the field as yet in the liberal interest, but it is rumoured that Mr. Savin, the railway contractor is likely to be brought for- ward. The rumour that the Hon. F. Morgan son of Lord Tredegar would be brought forward in the Conservative interest is we are informed without foundation. It is also stated that the influence of the Tredegar family will be exerted on behalf of Mr. Gwyn.

THE GUARDIAN. CARDIFF, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 6, 1885. THE most persistent joker in the British Legislature once informed his Cornish constituents that that &,TJ7ciJ:hm:.C¡; uwmUy. thy Row ¡ •,v;»9 ar« Agapemone—an About < -Lov. We glad .>>• t- c-v crtunof endorse Lbf- opinions of Mr. Bern. Ofdywr.e that r.nrtv c i is die*' out -■ IaC CAiBblllg ctt Ol» Stephen's. Were this really the case we should begin to think that the days of our boasted Constitu- tion were numbered; for we believe it is mainly owing to the checking power which party feeling has en- gendered that we are indebted for our social and moral pre-eminence and for our political influence. We frankly confess that we should look with dismay on complete Legislative harmony, but we do not agree with Mr. Bernal Osborne that we have arrived at sucb a consummation. Happily our representatives seldom wrangle like the fervid orators of the Prussian Chambers, nor do they fight according to the custom of American senators but universal concord exists nowhere save in the fertile imagination of Mr. Osborne. We do not, however, deny that the last three Sessions have been among the dullest on record. There has seemed to be an understanding among all orders of politicians that as little legislative work should be done as possible, and that the doing of that little should be made perfectly agreeable. And so it came to pass that few long speeches were delivered, few inconvenient questions asked, few unpleasant subjects discussed the Ministerial path was strewn with flowers, and the ways were ways of pleasantness with Conservative and Liberal alike. Two or three times only during each Session of the last Parliament was there even the semmauoe or \0"-1. a., faction fights were over almost as soon as they had begun. The question, however, with which we are more immediately concerned is-" Will the same spirit pervade our new Legislative Assembly ?" We think not. Since the general election indications have not been wanting that the rank and file of the Opposition are more eager for the fray, nor do we doubt the vigilance of the Conservative chiefs. Lord Derby and Mr. Disraeli have been content to bide their time, but we have the fullest confidence that they will at a fitting opportunity be ready to assume the responsibilities of office, and, if we may place reliance on the rumours current during the last few days, that opportunity must ere long occur. Although we are assured, on the undoubted authority of our Evangelical contemporary l'lle Record, that Lord Palmerston has entirely recovered from the attaok of gout" hich de- prived him of the pleasure of visiting the Corporation of Bristol, we incline to the opinion that to Mr. Glad- stone will be committed the leadership of the House of Commons. Rumour says that the Premier will add an English marquisate to his Irish title in order to seek in the IJouse of Peers the otium eum diynitate he has earned by his services to his country. On the prime benches of the Upper School he would doubtless ere long feel himself at ease, and as well able to indulge in those after dinner naps which during the last three Sessions have so frequently solaced him in the Hougp of Commons. We cannot attach much importance to the statements so confi- dently made that Lord Palmerston will tender his resignation to Her Majesty before the meeting of the new Parliament, for never did a warrior or statesman desire more earnestly to die with the harness on his back;" and there is no pqnplqsive evidence that he is yet unable to bear its weight. It is questionable, how- ever, whether the personal influence of the Premier would long sustain the members of his Administration against the keenly pointed shafts of their political opponents and with any further exhibition of the diplomatic eccentricities of the Foreign Secretary, the Rupert of Debate," would be sorely tempted to fling away the scabbard. Lord Russell's extraordinary despatch on the Gastein Convention forms a suitable appendix to the history of our relations with the Dano-German question, and it will doubtless at the meeting of Parliament receive from the Conservative Chief the attention it deserves nor is it probable that other peculiaritietl in the conduct of the foreign affairs of this country during the recess have escaped Lord Derby's vigilance. There is, moreover, no proof that dependence can be placed on the boasted majority of the Liberal party. The Premier can scarcely have forgotten how, in the memorable debate last year, member after member rose on the Liberal side of the House to speak in support of Mr. Disraeli's resolu- tion-how the late Mr. Cobden asserted the Foreign Office had lost its credit"—- hPW )1:1'. Roebuck politely remarked, Nature intended Lord Russell for a schoolmaster though fortune made him a Statesman;" or how Mr. Horsman amused the Op- position with an hour's harangue on the blindness and incapacity of the Government, And when to these proofs of the versatility of his supporters are added the recent evidences of the defection of some of the more advanced Liberals, it is just possible that even Lord Palmerston may entertain a doubt whether the millennium of Liberalism has actually commenped.

The batting of Mr. Llewelyn for Cadoxton was much admired, he scoring 71 not out," made up of 2 four's, 6 three's, 14 two's, and singles.

He moved That this meeting highly approves Of the project of an Industrial Exhibition for Swansea •iu 011 Wales, and pledges its hearty co-operation with the committee of the Swansea Working Men's Institue in furtherance of the movement." The motion,having been put to the meeting was carried unanimously. Mr. W. H. Jones, as the president of the Institute spoke of the necessity of the erection of a new work- in men's institute (to a fund for which the proceeds Q? the exhibition will be devoted.) Mr. John Lewis rose to propose the next resolution, namely, That a sub-committee be appointed from this meeting, to unite with the same number of per- sons^ appointed by the committee of the Working Men s Institute for making the preliminary arrange- ments u,nd that the following persons be requested to form such sub-committee." (Here followed a list of names.) Mr. A. Malison briefly seconded the proposition, and it was carried unanimously. Mr. H. Maliphant next moved "That this meeting be adjourned until one month from the present date, and that the committee appointed for carrying out the prelimitary arrangements be requested to report at the adiouraed meeting." aU-l* 4 OUVytSbV vuo adopted. A vote of thanks to the Mayor concluded the business.

INQUESTS IN THE NORTHERN DIVISION OF GLAMORGAN- SHIRE.—The number of Inquests in the Northern Division of this County for the Quarter ending the 30th September laat have been unusually large. There were 77 held of which 27 were colliery accidents, 15 were run over by trams and carriages, 4 were killed by machinery, I in a quarry, 1 by fighting 1 by falling down stairs 6 fiom drowning, 4 from scalding, 2 from suffocation, 14 died from natural causes, 1 case of suicide and 1 of manslaughter. BRUTAL OUTRAGB AT ABEBDARE.—On Tuesday last a disgraceful scene occurred at the Aberdare Cemetery. Three grave-diggers were engaged in making excavations for Mr. Richard Williams's vault, when a funeral from Cwmbach at- tended by some three or four hundred people, entered the burying ground. A dozen or so of ilUbehaved persons, who had accompanied this funeral, wandered together over the ground, and presently approached the vault, which was in the course of preparation. One of them went too near the edge and received a spadeful of earth, which was thrown up by an unconscious grave-digger, against his legs. Becoming enraged at this little accident, the man picked up a large stone, and, throwing it violently into the vault, inflicted considerable in. jury on one of the grave-diggers, who, to save themselves, from further punishment, at once leaped to the surface and seized the ruffian who had thrown the stone. The sexton was then appealed to, and he sent one of the grave-diggers for a policeman. Matters at this juncture cooled down a little, and the funeral party having commenced the return journey, the roughs joined them and proceeded along the high road When near the Llwynoelyu public-house, they met the mes- senger, and one of them asked him if he had succeeded in getting an officer; the luckless grave-digger having answered YIlS," received a tremendous blow in the face from a clenched fist, with a stone in it, and eight or ten of the roughs at once fell upon him, and beat him almost to death. In a few minutes, however, P-S. Thorney came up, apprehended the chief performers in this disgraceful outrage, and put a stop to the barbarious proceedings. Bss INVASION AT DBAN.—A few days ago we copied from the GlaSiJOW Morning Journal a paragraph reporting the in- vasion of a fruiterer's shop at Oban by bees. The proprietor of the shop, writing to the same journal a few days later, says: Since the notice of the invasion of my shop by bees the annoyance has continued, though I have smoked the premises every day. Yesterday, the young woman who keeps the shop had to shut up and take herself off, as the bees were unusually cross, and prone to use their stings. Indeed, I was myself afraid during the afternoon to enter the passage leading to the back shop, and the public outside had difficulty in moving along, owing to the swarms of beps which, roand the door and windows, were literally in clouds. In spiteafthe free use of brimstone they tried to force themselves through the keyhole and shatter-bolt holes. After I had done with the smoking process the shop was opened, but in two hours the enemy had full possession of the premises. I closed and smoked again, which finished the work for that day. This morning at half-past 7 I opened as usual, but before 9 o'clock I had to run with all the skeps, mugs, and plates of honey out of the shop into a back store, and to plug up every hole through which air could penetrate. While so engaged I was attacked by the bees, who stung me through my cap and veil. To-day I again smoked the shop, which since the removal of the honey has not been so much run upon." MURDER OF A SERVANT Gritt.—On Tuesday afternoon a protracted inquiry into the death of a girl named Mary Dor- rell, daughter of a corn-dealer in Dudley, was brought to a close, at the Fish Inn, Amblecote, near Stourbridge. The de- ceased bore an excellent character, and was respectably con- nected. Previous to her death she had be n living in the ser- vice of Mr. Hicklin, of Wollaston, and on Saturday evening, the 27th of May, she left his lio,ise with permission to go to Stourbridge, but never returned. A few days later her body was found in the Stourbridge Canal, near a bridge on the road to Wollaston, There were bruises on the head and body, which was much decomposed. When the body was examined by a medical man it was found that death was caused by drowning, but that, some of the bruises had been caused by in- juries inflicted before death, and it was believed that a blow ou the head had stunned the girl before the body found its way into the canal. The evidence given at repeated adjournments showed that on her way into Stourbridge on the 27th of May, deceased stated she was going to meet a young man with whom she was acquainted, and that Neri Wooldridge, a clerk from Bewdley, did meet a young woman of similar appearance to the deceased. Wooldridge came forward and acknowledged he had been in the deceased's company on the night she dis- appeared. He said he was not a suitor to the girl, but hap- pening to meet her he walked some of the way home with her at her own request. They started from Stourbridge at 9.20 p.m and walked along the towing path of the canal. He stated he parted with her not later than five minutes past 10, He went along the road to Stourbridge, and she towards Mr. Hicklin's house. He left her in good spirits. He left Stour- bridge, he said, at 2u minutes to 11, and arrived at his father's house by half-past 11. Witnesses were called by Wooldridge to show that he left Stourbridge at the hour he named, but their statements were not at all to the satisfaction of the coroner. It was also alleged by a witness called by Wooldridge, that deceased once attempted to drown herself, but witnesses on the other hand deposed that the girl told them she was only trying to frighten a fellow servant at the time of the alleged attempt at suicide. The jury found a verdict to the effect That the deceased was wilfully murdered by some person or 1 perMBS unknown."

< THE DRYMMA ESTATES NEAR 1 1 considerable interest has been create( Glamorganshire, and particularly in the distt Swansea and Merthyr, by 9 paragraph whi- nearly the round of the London and Prori relative to a Merthyr Collier having succeeo. ownership of the Drymmar miscalled the "Drumm. states, we publish a letter on the subject which appear in the Times of the 4th inst. fl ^\}J'}}e Times of the 27th ult. there is a report under ie nead of A Fortunate Collier," and in various of your con- letnporanes of a subsequent date under the head of A Reverse f ,.01 vine> *n which a man, named Thomas, employed at one ,'e. It'rtbyr coalpits, is said to have just been declared f tae Drumn?(>"d estate, near Swansea, value £ 7,000 to £8,000 per annum," and was also expected to recover a share of a large property near Neath, still more valuable than the Drummond estate, and which formerly belonged to the same family." As these statements, if uncontradicted, will create great mis- apprehension, and may lead to mischievous results should the public attach too much credit to them, we beg to say there is no ground or foundation whatever for the report in question, the real state of the case being that our client as to one equal half part, or bhare of such estate has placed beyond doubt his title to the heirship of the property, and only awaits the formal decree ot the ice-Chancellor; the collier referred to (Thomas) not having up to the present stage of the proceedings in Chan- cery even made any claim in respect of the property. The right to the other moiety of the estates rests with another branch of our client's faiuilr. The report has arisen, we believe, from certain proceedings in ejectment which were lately commenced against some of the tenants of the property by this same Thouaas, dnring which, owing to the tenants failing to enter an appearance or communicate with the Receiver appointed by the Court of Chancery, he obtained temporary possession of their dwellings and farms, from which, however, he had not only been ordered by Vice-chancellor Wood to withdraw, but was, along with the Sheriff and Under-Sheriff for Glamorgan- shIre, as the officers executing the writ of possession, ordered to pay the costs of their illegal proceedings, on pain of attach- ment. Our client, Mr. Richard Backhouse, of Liverpool, is the proved heir-at-law of the former owner of the estates, and we are happy to say that his title is perfectly clear, and depends not. upon any such misty pedigree as that rested upon by this would-be fortunate collier, or by those who fostering his ballu- cination, make him the hero of the comedy called A Reverse of fortune." We think it fair to add that, though very considerable, the value of the estate has been much exaggerated.— We are, sir, your most obedient servants, H. M. RICHARDSON & BRANDWOOD, Solicitors for Mr. Backhouse. Bolton-le-Moors, October 2, 1865. -♦ THE SUPPLY OF FLESH-FOOD. The Daily Sews speculates as to the prospects of the supply of animal food. We do not yet begin to feel any practical deficiency of meat, because a prodigious slaughter of sound as well as unsound beasts is going on, under the apprehension that all are doomed, and that something like money's worth must be got while it can be had. Prime rumps of beef are selling at 9d. a pound, while mutton and lamb are lOd. Then we are at present sure of hearing of all the plague that exists, and a good deal more. All diseases and deaths among edible stock of any kind-diseases and deaths which would be unheard of by the public in ordinary times-are taken special note of and every ailment is supposed to be the rinderpest." What are our resources in case of native beef and veal, mutton, lamb, and pork being rendered scarce by disease ? If or-TTie pl!1.n can only be devised, as it is said it can. for jiiftat fresh on :i. *ong jourcey, be fit tie difficulty, with the capital at oar command, "TQVAXIKS sufficient ,) -.U, V. ly Wfi, m." only any cuartity of b,d irom South I A -m:d 1 -LU.V other <. lii ^ri^, hiit any Quantity f VA. uidnwu ~•— -— —- ^uuutiii Ame- rican dried beef at 3d, perpound has been proved good and eminently nutritious meat when properly treated; but it is a vast benefit thrown away while so badly prepared by the exporters. Why should not some of our capitalists associate, and provide us with many varieties of food ? w hy not bring us the fresh meat, and the salt meat, and the dried meat ? Why not form poultry-rearing companies like the one at Brom- ley ? There is already an improvement in the weight and quality of the fowls brought to London, in conse- quence of the simple and easy process of killing off the mongrel cocks in the farmyard, and supplying their place with young cocks of a good and profitable breed. Are there not methods by which such an agency might popularize the use of fish ? Then as to J milk, cannot something be done for the little ones ? 1 There is a method, simple and inexpensive, of pre- serving milk unimpaired for long periods, and it is used in the American navy, if not in our own, and probably in others, every day for the months and years of long voyages. It is only evaporating the water, and preserving as powder the residue which contains the essential qualities of the milk. This powder, well dried, is kept in sealed bottles, and when used it has merely to be mixed with a due proportion of water to be as good as when drawn from the cow. C&S'ttk M :h i tUna^A'al jjomtries _to do let them, instead of boiling down sheep for tallow, boil away the water from milk, and send us the sedi- ment, which will be more to the children of this country than the meat to their fathers. -0 A CANDID MEMBER. South Hants appears to have got a model member in Colonel Fane, whom the constituency returned at the late election. The hon. and gallant gentleman was attending a public dinner at Portsmouth the other night, and took occasion to discourse of military murders. He was one of those, he said, who thought the perpetrators of the diabolical murders in the army that they had lately read of should be taken at once and hanged before they were much older. He had no belief in putting men back for a time, by which they were enabled to argue like a lawyer, and throw dust in the eyes of a jury, upon the plea of insanity, as they sometimes did. He was one of those who thought that if a man was insane, the sooner he was hanged the better. He did not mean that every man who was insane—and he and everybody else were insane upon some point or other—should be hanged, but only those who committed murder and endeavoured to set up that plea. Later in the evening the Colonel replied to the toast of the County Members," and delivered himself as followsAll that he could desire to say had been so well said by his able colleague that perhaps they would wish him to sit down and hold his tongue. Some gentleman said hear, hear," but there was one or two things which he thought he ought to say, and one of them was that he begged to thank them for the way in which they had allowed him to walk over the course. Lord Robert Montagu had likened a member of Parliament to a fox-chaser, who was obliged to keep his horse's head straight; but sometimes they came toa fence, and took" it, think- ing there was good landing beyond. Instead of that, they sometimes found a devilish deep ditch, into which they fell, and got deucedly well covered with mud. However, he was determined to keep his horse's head straight, and if he found he could not keep up with his party, why, by G—, he would resign his seat.

.ACCIDENT TO PRINCE ARTHUR'S CARRIAGE.—On Saturday (writes our Blairgowrie correspondent) his Koyal Highness Prince Arthur drove, with a companion or attendant, in an open carriage from Perth, and changed horses at the Royal Hotel. < he horses were specially pro- vided by Mr Grant, Gleushee, as his Royal Highness met with an accident last year when passing through Blair- gowrie, and the driver was instructed by VIr..M'Laren, of the Royal Hotel, to drive cautiously down Allen-street, which is rather steep. Unfortunately, near the same spot where the accident occurred last year, some alterations are going on at a shoemaker's shop, and the street being partially blocked up with stone and rubbish, tho carriage came in rather violent cidlisiou with a cart which was standing there.. Happily no serious damage was done but both inmates of the carriage were rudely jostled, and but for the slow and cauLious pace at which the carriage was driven, serious injury might have been sustained. His Royal Highness looked well, and courteously acknow- ledged the salutations ilb which he was greeted by the spectators.—Edinburgh Courant. The Church Congress opened On Wednesday at Norwich under the presidency of the Bishop. There was divine service and early communion at the cathedral, and at the mid-day service the Archbishop of York preached 'he sermon. He remarked that the unity of the Church had been broken. The rupture between St. Paul and St. Peter had been fruitful of evil to the present time. and the rationalists of this day. as well as the Gnostics of old, all referred to it. The Church of Rome still insisted upon her unity, but to set up a fragment of the mirror which had been broken to pieces, to put it in a gaudy frame and say, •« I his is the mirroi," could not be admitted. Rome had been far more ready to cut off than to embrace she bad nothing to do with that pure teaching which brought about the Reformation. But if unity had been lost, truth bad beeD preserved to us. There was an underly- ing bond of agreement in all the divisions of the Church, and each reflected, so to speak, a portion of the light of the Divine firmament. The Church would one day emerge from the errors and heresies into which her children had strayed, but at the same time it was necessary that we should beware of the dangers by which she was beset. Not less humiliating to us was the apparent failure of the promises of great success for the Gospel, but this was attributable, not to the failure of the promises of God, but to the sin of man. God meant the Church to be a city set on a hill, and to be always with it as its Lawgiver and King but man would not have it so; hence division in the Church, and especially the Church of Englandi was much blessed. The word of God was presened to it, and there was at the present time a re- vival of zeal,
