THE ELECTION SCREW. SIR,-A letter in the Telegraph signed A Looker On,' complains of the screw osert by the Conservative party. Is he ignorant of, or hypocritical in his groaning? Does he not know that his own side commenced their canvass the first day with a double screw tightly held by two of their leaders who had mercilessly forbidden any over whom fthey hold sway to vote for the Conservative candidate? Js he ignorant that poor men have been threatened by some of his liberal friends with loss of their cottages it they voted for Mr Pitman? Has he not heard of preachers and deacons, Sunday after Sunday exhorting their fol lowers to vote against the Conservative Candidate? Has he not seen these pioua, zealous men in daily converse together to get voters for Col. Edwardes and sidinc with him, and constantly exhorting the people to deliver themselves from the thraldom of Church and State? His friends have selected the screw tn work with; let him not, therefore, 'wince, and groan if his party is beaten with its own weapons. Yours, etc., AN EYE WITNESS. ROBESTON WATHEN.

To the Editor of tue Jililfard Haven Telegraph. SIP. -In your number of last Wednesday there are two accounts relative to the Barque Charles of Cork putting into Milford Haven, both aocoucts being inaccurate in many respects. The truth is that I know the Haven well. and came in for the purpose of putting the Barque on the soft mud between Gelliswick Bay and the Wind mill, in order to let the water run out in the usual way, when the tit;e Iei't her, by iioring av.d afterwards plugging the holes, afterwards by working the pumps to keep her afloat, so as that I may be able to discharge a part of the cargo into another ship belonging to the owner. When I left the barqae to go to Mil ord to telegraph to the owner for instructions, I left the mute and one man in churgo and allowed the remainder of the crew to go ashoreifor a short rest and some refreshments, which they badly wanted, beina exhausted from pumping. Whilst I was away the tie-,Ie receded and the ship was sure to remain perfectly safe and snug until the next tide, she being then aground the mate and seaman Came ashore for something to eat, and for me, crew, and carpenters to Hakin, to bring us all to the barque as there was then a great deal of falling water. During the interval the barque whilst perfectly safe at anchor and left aground by the tide, was unjustifiably boarded by a number ot persons and forcibly detained in their possession when the mare, crew, and I arrived with the carpenters shortly afterwards. Nothing could occur to do more injury to the shipping interest of Milford Haven than such a cir- cumstance, unless we had pirates as in the China SeaE. Yours obediently, FLORENCE MCCARTHY, Master of the Barque Charles of Cork. Milford, 14th August, 1868. TO THE ELECTORS OF GREAT BRITAIN.

Mv FRIENDs,-1 beg to recommend to your earnest attention the following passage* from the writings of two very able writers of the present day. 1. "Probably there never was a time in the history of our country when the connexion between the Church and the State was threatened from quarters so manifold and various as at present. The Infidel, with sag icious instinct, following out all that tends to the general diminution of religious influence—the Romanist, who, in order to erect his own structure of faith and discipline, aims first at the demolition ot every other, and who seems in general to deem us so involved in fatal error, that we must pass through the zero of national infidelity in order to arrive at truth-the processor of political economy, who considers this connexion as a visionary theory, which interferes with what he deems the substantial interests of mankind—the democrat, who naturally desires to strip Government of all its highest duties, and leave to it the performance of no more than mechanical functions: of all these, it was perhaps on the whole to be expected that the. should unite upon any seemingly favourable occasion to press tor their common object; and they have so united." 2. "Upon us of this day has fallen (and we shrink not from it but welcome it as a high and glorious, though at4 arduous duty) the defence of the Reformed Catholic Chnrch in Ireland, as the religious establishment of the country." 3. The facts before us involve the present generation in tremendous responsibility. We are in the midst of a fearful straggle, the battle is turned to the gate, and the issue depends on our own conduct, Whether Popery or Protestantism shall be triumphant is to be determined now. To be indifferent, or"timid, or inert, is to be van- quished and to be vanquished is to be enslaved." "We would appeal, then, to British Protestants of every denomination, Churchmen and Dissenters, arise, shake off your supinene«s—forget your petty differences of creed or Church Government, and unite; unite organically where you can for a united foe is at. your very gate. And where you cannot unite organically, co-operate, and with fixed purpose combine, as the heart of one man, in one great continuous, and prayerful effort against Popery. Show it no quarter. Popery is alike I the enemy of God and man, a foe equally to civil liberty as to the doctrine of a fret salvation by faith in Christ. Unite in simultaneous efforts to resist its encroachments and effect its destruction. Let not Popery be persecuted; I but let it not be supported from our Exchequer. Abridge not the liberties of the Papist; but let him not forge chains for us and our children. Exact no pena! laws a^nIj8t superstitions, but give him not the power to pull down the British Constitution, that he may climb up its ruins to the throne." Of the above extracts, the first and second are probably familiar to some of our readers; but they, who now read them for the first time, will he astounded when they learn that they are trom a book written, and of which repeated edirions have been published, by Mr W. E. Gladstone, M P., the author of thr" c reaolutioiis for tbcahotitionot the Reformed Catholic Church established 1n Ireland. The third extract is from "an appeai to British Pro- testants," by William Cook, D D, an eminent Wesleyan Minister, and which is earnestly recommended to the perusal of both Churchmen and Dissenters. ALRTHES. DISSENTING MINISTERS' INCOMES.—The Telegraph contains a letter which is worthy of wide circulation. It refers to a statement, published already, that a Baptist pastor had to live at one time on £ 30 per annum, and that his income never exceeded £ 4u. He bad a family, a-.d bad nurses, medical bills, and taxes to pay. For a m,n in his position to live on this, one would think to be as difficult a task as squaring the circle. The letter contains other statements of an extraordinary character. One minister, an Independent, walked about for a fort- night with only a halfpenny in his pocket. another had a present ofJwo pounds sent him as a private gift, and bis keepers wanted to deduct it from bis allowance. No satire on religious inconsistencies can ever hope to do worse than these facts. Certain religionists interpret the first verse of the fifty-fifth chapter of Isaiah much in the same way as Peter, Jack, and Martin, the heroes of the Tale in the Tub,' interpreted the several'provi- eiona of their father's will.

AGRARIAN OUTRAGE IN IRELAND. DUBLIN, SATURDAY EVENING.—A painful feeling was caused in Dublin yesterday by the receipt of a telegram announcing that a fatal agrarian affray had occurred in the county of Tipperary. At the assizes lately con- cluded, the judges warmly congratulated the grand juries of both ridings on the remarkable freedom from agrarian crime, or indeed, of any kind, which this "nae notorious county now exhibited. We were be ginning to hope that the relations of landlord and tenant had at length been placed on a better footing, when this fierce explosion of the anti-landlord spirit has come to warn us that the old feelings of Tipperary men on this sutiject are not only not dead, but may at any moment be roused into fury by what they may regard as an over strict assertion of landlord rights. The following, sup- plied by a correspondent of the Evening Post, is the fullest account of this affair that has j et reached ua: — 'TIPPERARY, Friday Evening. 4 Mr William Scully, of Balliuaclough, within about six miles of this town, lately purchased a property at Ballvcohev, tenanted by about a score of respectable i tenants, all of whom are tenants at will; and it is stated those people are hard-working and industrious, and alwavs paid their rents with punctuality. It seems that Mr Scully latelv offered to several tenants an agreement i which contained, it is stated, the most stringent cove- nants, by which the tenants were to hold from year to year; and the tenancy was to be terminable by a twenty < one days' notice to quit, in case Mr Scully deemed it ex- ] pedient to eject them. The entire tenancy refused to 1 accept or execute such a lease but it is stated that they i were satisfied to pay any additional rent that might be demanded. Mr Scully, it appears, served some three or 1 four of the tenants, whom he met in Tipperary, with i no'ices to quit, and some days ago, it is stated, he went t to the lands, accompanied by two policemen, and sue- < ceeded in serving some two or three more of them, but the other tenants by a 'dodge' escaped service. They < left their houses whilst he remained on the land, and, as ] he could find no person in any of the houses on whom to i serve them, he had to return, leaving a considerable ( number unserved. On to day, however, he expected to Il finish the service. Be went by train to Limerick June- ( tion, distant about a mile from Ballycohey, accompanied t by his steward, a respectable young man named Gorman, and his caretaker, named Maher, and from the junction I he proceeded to the lands, also accompanied by eight I police, fully armed. On making bis appearance at { Ballycohey he was hooted and groaned by a lot of women i and children, who seemingly suspected him. The party t first proceeded to the house of a man named Dwyer; on entering the yard they were suddenly fired upon from an out-house, which had holes in its front wall which answered the purpose of port-boles, and they i were also exposed to a deadly cross fire from the dwel- ) ling-house. One of the police, named Sub-constable s Samuel Morrow, of Tipperary Statijn, was shot dead Gorman, the steward, was also shot dead, both ex- I piring almost immediately. Three of the police were also seriously wounded, and Maher, the caretaker, was aNo 9 wounded, a ball passing right through his instep. He t was conveyed to the Union Hospital this evening. Mr v Scully also received two dangerous wounds. He, it is I stated, acted with unusual coolness during the entire s occurrence, and with the police returned flie fire, but it has not yet transpired whether their shots took effect. The whole party had to retire, leaving their dead after them, but bringing their wounded. Mr Scully succofded 0 in reaching the residence of Jasper Bolton, Esq, J.P., n Ballykisteen, agent, to the Earl of Derby, and the first accounts stated him to be lying there in a most pre h carious condition, but as I write (eight o'clock p. rn) o later accounts state him to be dead. The first intelli- a gence that reached town was the arrival of two of the a wounded policemen about 2.30 p.m. The entire police II force off duty were then despatched to the scene of the occurrence, and have not since returned The three wounded police had most miraculous escapes. One of w them is very severely wounded from a gunshot wound P in the poll of the head, the other received a bullet in the t thigh, whilst the third received a shot just under the n heart, but the ball glanced off, leaving only a slight flesh s wound. Great indignation is felt towards Mr Scully p here, as it is stated he was about, ejecting the whole r townsland of Ballycohey. He is a very wealthy man, t being owner of several extensive properties in this county and the county of Kilkenny, 9.30 P.M.—The police have returned, bringing with t them the dead bodies of Sub-constable Morrow and Gor- ( man. Mr Scully is alive, but in a very precarious state; 1 he received three gunshot wounds. The police state a !hat there could not be less than fifty shots in the volley y fired at them on entering the yard. They also state the people were well armed with guns, and that, besides v those in the houses, there was also a large number of armed men along the ditches. Only one arrest has been t made up to this." a The magisterial inquiry into the late fatal affray at 6 Moriagban was continued yesterday. The examination ° of one witness occupied nearly the whole of the day, owing to the frightful prolixity of the professional men engaged in the case. Mr John Rea of Belfast, is acting 0 for some of the Orange party, and when you remember that committees of the Houses of Lords and Commons v found it impossible to control his volubility except by having him removed by the police, you can easily under- r, stand how a bench of country justices are completely at c his mercy. The inquiry has been adjourned. z DUBLIN, Sunday Night. The coroner's jnry returned the following verdict: "That Sub-constable Morrow and Darby Gurman came t by their deaths from the effects of bullet wounds inflicted on Friday, the 14th August, by some person or persons to us at present unknown. The jury are further of b opinion that the conduct of Mr William Scully, as re- h gards proceedings towards his tenants at Ballycohey, is b much to be deprecated, and the sooner legislative enact- 11 ments are passed to put a stop to any such proceedings 9 the better for the peace and welfare of the country.' Nine men who had been arrested were brought before the magistrates. They were all discharged except Pat h Dwyer, John Dwver, and Timothy Heff'erman, who were remanded. Pat Dwyer is the owner of the house from which the shots were fired. It transpired that he passed a the entire of Friday in the town of Tipperary. None of c. the persons who fired the shots can be identified. v t c SINGULAR CAUSE OF DEATH.—On Thursday the 13th n inst, Dr Hardwicke, deputy coroner, held an inquest at ti the University College Hospital on the body of William t Davis, aged 44. Deceased had been in the infirm ward h of St Pancra8 Workhouse, suffering from paralysis of the o spine, but was afterwards transferred to the able bodied n ward. Whilst endeavouring to pull off a Wellington p boot which he wore his thigh-bone suddenly snapped, h and he exclaimed, My God, I have broken my leg.' Mr a Gibson, the surgeon of the house, was sent for, and c deceased's leg was supported, under his orders, by a splint. In a few days the thigh became very much swollen, and Mr Gibson finding the case a very obscure J: one, and fearing that an abscess was forming, sent de- ceased to the hospital. The surgeons at the hospital de- 1 cided that an abscess must be forming, and cut into the ? cided that an abscess must be forming, and cut into the ? swelling, when it was discovered that a piece of bone from the fracture had ruptured an artery, and the blood I had become effused into the limb. Amputation was per- I formed, and deceased died from thd shock.

COLLISION BETWEEN H. vi s. WARRIJR AND ROYAL OAK. PLYMOUTH, AUG. 16.— Ti e Channel squadron left Portland on Friday morning f r Ireland, and passed down Channel off bis port on Friday night, under sail with steam up, but not steaming. The Pallas put in here for supernumeraries and to make good defects. A stron.: g de blew from the south- ward, a heavy sea was running, and the night was dark, with rain squalls. At 11 p.m when the rest of the squadron was ten miles S.W. of the Eddystone, a serious collision occurred between the Warrior and the Royal Oak. The qua.dron was standing to westward in the following order: Starboard division — Minotaur, Ballero- phon, Achilles, and Defence; port division- Penelope, lioyal Oak, and Warrior, with the distance of four oa; les between the vessels in each division. The gale increasing, a signal was made from the Admiral's ship for the squadron to take in a second reef of their top- sails. While the ships were so employed, the Warrior forged ahead, came up under the lee of the Royal Oak, and ran into her starboard quarter. The approach of the Warrior was seen from the Royal Oak, and the Warrior was hailed by Ciptain Hillyard, but the hail ing was apparently not heaid The Warrior's bowsprit and cutwater carried away all the Royal Oak's starboard boats and davits, as well as four chain-plates in the main chains, and tore adrift her lee main rigging, damaged some chain-plates in the mizen chains, and lo. >sened the lee mizen rigging tore away the bridge and engine-room telegraph, stove in the starboard berth- ing and channels, carried away one fluke through the Royal Oak's side. The engine-room telegraph, when being torn away, was by the collision turned to go ahead,' and this order being immediately obeyed from the engine-room, added to the confusion, some minutes elapsing before the machinery could be stopped. The vessels were twenty minutes in collision, and were onlv freed at length by the Warrior steaming astern. The Royal Oak went on during tne night with the squadron, and, through the thickness of the weather, could not communicate her damages to the admiral until the fol- lowing morning. At ten a.m. on Satnrday she received ord 'rs to return here to repair damages, arriving on Sa- turday night. She left the squadron fifteen miles i W.S.W. of the Lizard. The Warrior left her figure- head on board the Royal Oak, and is believed to have had her jib-boom carried away and her bowsprit damaged. She has gone on with the squadron, and will probably ] be repaired at Milford. No lives were lost, nor was anyone injured by tbe accident. THE RIFLE BRIGADE.— We have good reason for he- lieving that there is truth in the rumour according to which his Royal HighnesB the Prince of Wales will succeed to the Colonelcy-tn-Chief of the Rifle Brigade, vacant by the death of Field-Marshal Sir Edward Blakeney. The appointment will be cordially appreciatcd by tfie Rifles, while, as it has no emoluments now attached to it, none of the old and deserving officers of the army will have cause to renew the complaint made with good reason when the Prince became Colonel of the 1 )th Hussars, that they are thereby kept out of any sub- stantia! benefit to which they had a right to look forward. —Army and Navy Gazette, —Army and Navy Gazette, HAIR W ASHES.-It is only right to refer to a source t of possible disease which is peculiarly widespread just now, and against which the public should be cautioned, t At the present time there is quite a rage for the use of hair' washes' or 'restorers,' which, wbilst the charge of their being 'dyes'is indignantly repudiated, yet in a short time 'restore' the colour of the hair. The active agent in these washes is of course lead. In the majority of oases, probably, a moderate use of such a lotion would be unattended with mischief; but it is worth remembering that palsy has been known to be produced by the long-continued use of cosmetics con- taining lead. But of the thousands of persons who are now applying lead to their scalps, there will doubtless be some with an extreme susceptibility to the action of the poison, and these will certainly run no inconsiderable risk of finding the restoration of their hair attended by loss of power in their wrists.- The Lancet. THE POOR IN THE WORKHOUSE.—A return issued by the Poor Law Board shows that in England and Wales (exclusive of the metropolis) tiiere were, on the Istof July, 1867.96,079 paupers in the workhouses 3,060 of the men } and 9,200 of the women were able-bodied 46,853 adults 2 were not able-boiied, and 8,372 of thesn were lunatics and 2 imbeciles; 36,966 were children under 16. 29,178 of the whole 96,079 in the workhouses were on the medical S relief-book, 6.917 were aged and infirm, requiring medical c treatment, 9.93a others were chronic cases, 4,173 were acute cases, 735 venereal, 958 fever and zymotic ca<es, 5 6,095 requiring extra diet only. In the following winter, on ghe 1st of January, 186S, the numbers were larger: t there were 119905 paupers in the workhouses; 7,373 of i the men and 12,510 of the women were able-bodied, l 56,764 adults were not able-bodied, 8.754 of them lunatics 1 and irn heciles 13,2.58 were children under 1G. Of the 1 whole 119,905 in tbe workhouses 38,855 were on the j* medical relief-book, 7,480 were aged and infirm persons requiring medical treatment, 11,450 others were chronic 2 cases, 5,203 were aetit,e cases, 930 venereal, 1,365 fever and 2 zymotic cases, 7,082 reqniring extra diet only. The 2 numbers are stated in detail for each union, 2 2 THE STIRCHLEY MURDER.—It will be remembered 2 that during the trial 0:' Harries at Shrewsbury Assizes 2 upon the charge of murdering the jeweller's salesman, 'i Zusman, a profound sensation was created in the court by the relation of a conversation the prisoner had with 5 his old schoolmaster while awaiting his trial in the cells beneath the court, In that conversation Harris admitted that, while he was not the actual murderer, he was ac- 1" qnainted with him, and he circumstantially described » how the murderer dodged him about. threatening to I split his skull' and tear out his heart' if he betrayed ( htm. It has now transpired that this was not the firs: time since his committal npon the capital charge that q Harris had avowed his knowledge of the real murderer, c and to Captain Fenwick, the Governor of the gaol, he I confided the name of the man. It was gencrally expected S that immediately upon the acqittal of Harris the person whom'he had thus pointed out would be arrested, and that Harris, assured of the protection of the law, would £ come forward and give evidence. Such, however, Will £ not be the case, for the police have reason to know that t the man thus strangely accused (and who is at the present S time in Shrewsbury Gaol upon a charge of poaching) I had nothing to do with the murder. Harris has by his own statements laid himself open to an indictment for misprision of felony, but it is not probable that the ¡- police authorities will take any steps towards prosecuting him, as they do not believe such a course would throw any fresh ligbt upon tho commission of this extraordinary crime. 3 DISAPPROVAL OF GLADSTONE'S IRISH CHURCH POLICY by Sir Roundell Palmer, a Liberal, a Queen's Counsel, a Doctor or Civil Law, an Oxford Master of Arts, called to j the Bar at Lincoln's Inn, 1837: became Q.C. in 1849: 1 appointe,t Solicitor-Genera1, 1861: Attorney-General, 1863: was M.P. for Plymouth, 1847-52, and 1853-7, and in the event ot a Gladstone Administration could have reasonably, if not certainly, expected' to become Lord Chancellor; has disinterestedly severed himself from his leacta and his colleagues; in his address to the electors of Richmond, indicating the grounds upon which he had done so. It is at all times a pleasing task to render i justice to those who make large sacrifices .in order to I < maintain their sincere convictions, and it is especially so in the case of an official Liberal who breaks away from his party on a question which they have made a cardinal feature of their policy. Without pledging himself to the principle of 'disestablishment,' though it is clear that Sir Roundell would be prepared to acquie,ce in modifica- tions of the present relative positions of the church in Ireland and the State, but even upon this point, there is a wide gulnh between Mr Gladstone and his former colleague; but the difference is still more strongly marked when the member for Richmond touches on the disendowment question. He is in favor of a redistribution of the endowments of the Irish Church, but is oppo ed to their absolute alienation. Mr Gladstone would make a clean sweep of them, but Sir Roundell Palmer insists that they shall be retained wherever they are not disproportioned to.the wants of the resident Protestant population. I believer ia faot, that his views will be entirely met by the conclusions of the Royal Commissioners and the action of the Government there- upon, for their aim. like his, will be to reform the Irish Establishment, while Mr Gladstone seeks to destroy it and plunder it. Even Mr Gladstone, however, will Dot dare to say in the case of Sir Roundell Palmer that his razor I is made to DOCYTA.' QUEENSLAND GOLDFrELDS.-Tho following is an extract from a letter received in Melbourne from an unques- tionable authority, who recently visited Gympie Creek:- The alluvial deposits far exceed in richness and extent all that I had been taught or imagined of them, and I pray you not to think that there is any immediate pros- pect of their becoming worked out. My own conviction is that they are in their infancy still. I never met a man working who did not confess that he was making wages or more. Some I know -for I saw—are making large fortunes, and hundreds are realizing small ones. The Nashe? have done very well, and will end their prospector's claim with some £20,000 Thev, however, will be beaten by Murdoch and Son, who divided for their week's work while I was there £ 12,000. Walker'snlaim, which he'ancied he had worked out and sold for a few pounds, has yielded already more to his successors than himself, I was there the other day when they washed out an 8 z nu-jget, and seemed by their way to think nothing of it. The dense scrub bounding Walker's Gully is found to be full of sold—that is. the earth from the surface to a foot down is. When I left there were at least 50 reefs named, but the supposition j, that many will he found identical with each other. For instance, the Lady Mary and Caledonian intersect, Nash's Gully, and near it the prospector's claims are: and it is nearly certain that they re identical with very fine reefs opened out he) olld Walker's Gully, nearly a mile away. l)odd' and a partv of two other iften had not a penny about six- weeks ago. They were just Gathering up their week's collection of 'specimen, We calculated they had—in tubs, buckets, in the fire, and eN -;v)jere—fro.n £6.000 to £ 8,000 worth. The specimens, I iQ1;S explain, are the pieces of quartz and gold so visibiy rich and tempting that it wouid not do to throw there into tin pile stone intended for the Crushing- machine. When we left the bllt. the Commissioner told me 'th y had been doing well all the time.' What they really have taken is not known Lawrence and Pollock, M'Ghie and party, and Goodchap, who used to be over- seers of the road, have literally made fortunes out of their specimen"; whiie M'Ghie sent 3'>cwt. of quartz to tbe mill so poor looking, compared with most that he is slacking, that it was sent to find out it it was worth crushing at all; its yield was 11 oz. Munro, of the Now Zealand Reef, sent nine tons of rather better looking stone, but nothing like most of what is stacked; the yield was 9oz. to the ton. Now, I saw these stones, examined them well, and I saw their produce. In. the New Zealand ttone I could just detect a speck or two of gold, after much searching. I thir.k I may safely say that from the Caledonian and Lady Mary, both pros- pectors' they were taking out daily ij-500 worth f specimens. On Monday last Lawrence estimated bis day's work at £l,¡;(JO, I have been amazed at all I saw- lumps of gold worth hundreds of pounds lying in pails and tubs like so many potatoes. There are several other reefs of equal repute besides those I have named. I speak of them from actual knowledge. Ernest Webh gave £ 700 for his one-eighth share in the Lady Mary: he has already received the money back." Tture are 3,000 miners at the Kilkivan rush, and nearly 2.000 at the Cape diggings, which are,being somewhat overtone, A new rush of some promise has occurred to Yabher, and Mr Daintree, the geologist. ha- expressod an opinion that at no distant date the Gilbert Ranges will form the nucleus of the largest and richest gohifield in Australia, Specimens of silver ore, said to be very rich, have been discovered near Rockhampton.— Melbourne -~rgusr June 20.
