[ FUNERAL OF MR. P. M. EVANS. On Saturday afternoon the remains of Mr. Evan.- were interred at Zion Cemetery,near Holy well. The deceased was highly respected, being one of the most preeminent members of the Welsh Calvinistic Methodists in the Principality, and an extensive publisher of tho periodicals of that sect. The town wore a mournful aspect, the shops beisg closed and the blinds of all the houses drawn. There was a large number of ministers of all denominations present, and they headed the procession, followed by the Local Board (the deceased having been ita chairman for same years), then the hearse, followed by the relatives, friends, and general public, the funeral cortege being about half a mile in length. So popular was the deceased that persons from all parts of the Principality attended to show their re- spect, several very influential men being present. At the grave the service was conducted by Professor Row- lands (Bangor), after which addresses were delivered by the Revs. Roger Edwards (Mold) and Thomas Levi (Aberystwyth), who referred to the death of Mr. Evans in such feeling terms that the company were moved to tears. Several thousands congregated to witness the mournful procession.

ECCLESIASTICAL. The Archbishop of Canterbury has sustained a heavy be- reavement in the death of his only son, the Rev. Craufurd Tait, which took place at Stone House, St. Peter's, near Margate, last Wednesday evening,. May 29. The rev. gentleman was only 29 years of age. The following telegram from Rome, has appeared in the Pall ilfall Gazette :-The PopeT ill in body and dis- tracted in mind by plots and cavils designed to prevent re- forms, is reported to be manifesting a disposition to abdi- cate. Cardinal Franchi is doing his utmost to check the machinations of the Jesuits. These, on the other hand, are bent on bringing about the cardinal's downfall. The Free Church Assembly at Glasgow debated on Thursday, May 30, for eight hours, the question of Dises- tablishment. There were four motions before the House, but that which was most favourable to I isestablishment, proposed by Dr. Adam, of Glasgow, was carried by 404 against 134 for Sir Henry Moncreiff's, which did not go so far. A|motion by Dr. Begg, in defence of establishments, received only fifty votes. The Assembly resolved to pe- tition Parliament in accordance with the resolution adopted. Lord Penzance gave judgment in the Court of Arches on Saturday, June 1st, in the proceedings which have been instituted against the Rev. A. H. Mackonochie, vicar of St. Alban's, Holborn, for disobedience to pre- vious monitions of the Court. The judge said the defen- dant had been twice previously suspended, and therefore more stringent measures must now be taken. He sus- pended Mr. Mackonochie ab officio et beneficio for three years, and condemned him in the costs of the application. Mr. Mackonochie, in his sermon on Sunday,, made no direct allusion to this judgment.

COLLISION OF GERMAN IRONCLADS IN THE CHANNEL-IMMENSE LOSS OF LIFE. On Wednesday evening, May 29, a German ironclad squadron, consisting of three ships-the Preussen, the Konig Wilhelm, and the Grosser Kurfurst-left Willieliiis haven on its way to the Mediterranean. On Friday morn- ing, while the squadron was passing Dover, a collision took place between the Konig Wilhelm and the Grosser Kur- The Grosser Kurfurst at once heeled over on her beam-end; and an explosion was occasioned by the rush of the water into the furnaces and boilers. In five minutes she sank. It is ascer- tained that there were in all nearly 500 souls on board. The number of those saved by fishing boats and vessels which happened to be near the scene of the disaster reduces the loss to 275. The Konig Wilhelm was seriously injured, and it was at first thought she also had gone down, but this happily proved not to be the case, and she after- wards proceeded to Portsmouth. The disaster created the greatest concern throughout the country directly it became known, and on Friday afternoon, Lord Bury in the House of Lords, and Mr. W. H. Smith in the Coinnions, com- municated the facts, in so far as they had been ascer- tained, to Parliament. The Crown Prince of Germany, who was in London when the accident happened, after- wards proceeded to Dover. It appears from accounts collected from German officers that at 9.30 on Friday morning the flagship was leading, with the Grosser Kurfurst half a cable's length astern on the starboard quarter. The Preussen was still further astern, and out of station. A Norwegian barque was ob- served when the squadron was between Folkestone and Sandgate. There was no time to communicate to the Grosser Kurfurst as to the course to be pursued, and it was apparent that such a thing was not necessary, because simultaneously with the porting of the helm of the Konig Wilhelm, Captain Grafmonts, of the Grosser Kiirfiirst, did the same, and the barque easily cleared. Immediately all danger of collision with the merchant ship bad passed the officer of the watch, who had charge of the Konig Wilhelm, gave orders to the helmsman to steady his helm, and the man tried to do so, but unfortunately the steering gear of the ship—which was very defective before leaving Wilhelmshaven, but which was examined and reported all right before the voyage commenced—gave way, and the head of the ship consequently remained hard aport. See- ing the dilemma of the admiral the captain of the Grosser Kiirfiirst did all in his power to avoid a collision. He went full speed ahead, and kept his ship hardaport, hoping that the Konig Wilhelm would pass under his stern. Admiral Batsch, on board the flagship, noticing the serious nature of things, ordered the engines to be reversed, and to go at full speed astern; but all these precautions were unavailing. The Konig Wilhelm had so much way on her that she had overtaken the Grosser Kurfurst, and her stem at once crashed into her port quarter, the damage being greatly increased by the Grosser Kiirfiirst going full speed ahead. Thit fact also accounts for the immense damage to the prow of the Konig Wilhelm, and the reason of so many lives being lost, for it is now clear that 275 officers and men have perished, out of a total of 491. When the ship was first struck the hands were piped to clear the water-tight bulk- head. The order was obeyed with alacrity, but it very soon became apparent that the ship was sinking, and the men who were below could not scramble on deck. Boats were launched from the sinking ship, and also from the Konig Wilhelm and the Preussen, but those of the latter vessel were too late to render very much assistance, as she was so far astern when the disaster occurred, and the injured ship went down so very quickly. The officers of the Kitnig Wilhelm say that many more men might have been saved had they been able to swim; but there is no com- pulsion in the German navy for seamen to acquire this art, although it is incumbent upon the officers to do so. This reason alone accounts for the small proportion of officers drowned, only five out of the total of those on board being missing. The coolness and presence of mind of the officers of the Grosser Kiirfiirst are the subject of very considerable commendation. It is is said that after the disaster orders were calmly given and cheerfully obeyed, and the captain of the sinking ship, though asked to come into a boat, positively refused, saying he pre- ferred going down with his vessel. Literally he did so, but was picked up when he rose to the surface, and was saved. The coroner's inquiry respecting the deaths of the four men belonging to the Grosser Kurfurst brought ashore at Portsmouth, has terminated in a verdict simply affirming that they were drowned by the sinking of that vessel. The jury were instructed not to extend their inquiry to the cause of the calamity, it having occurred beyond the jurisdiction of the court.

REVIEW OF THE ROYAL DENBIGH AND MERIONETHSHIRE MILITIA. The review of the Royal Denbigh and Merioneth Militia was held at Wrexham on Friday, May 31. Since the regiment assembled, a month ago, the weather had been very unfavourable, rain falling almost continuously. It often happens that when the weather is unfavourable rules of discipline cannot be so strictly applied, but the conduct of the men has been exceedingly good. The regiment has suffered from additional adverse clrcumstances- one the absence of the Reserves, and the other, the change in the staff. The loss of 158 men to join the depot of the 23rd Regiment made sad havoc in the ranks. A change has also been made in the staff. In the present Quarter- master of the Brigade Depot (Mr. Kenny) the Denbigh- shire Rifles were fortunate enough to have one of the smartest sergeant-majors in the service. The change was a serious ex- periment, but both the battalion and Sergeant-Major Phoenix may be complimented on the result. The inspection began onJThursday. Colonel Cooper, the com- manding officer of the (district, made a thorough inspection of of the barracks, stores, books, &c., of the regiment, all of which were found in the most satisfactory condition. The Captains were then proved in battalion drill, all of them passing the ordeal efficiently. The Subalterns were next tried in com- pany drill, with a good result. The regiment was assembled in High-street, on Friday, a half-past ten o'clock, and thence marched to the drill-ground on the racecourse, where the several companies were minutely examined by the captains of companies. The men appeared very clean, and every one was reported present. The next business was to equalize the com- panies, the result being that there were six companies, with twenty-five files each, and two companies with twenty- tive flies one each, 402 men in all, besides non-com- missioned officers, staff, and band. The total strength of the battalion is 685, but of this number 158 are reserves and with the affiliated lineregiment,somehavebeen discharged during training, some in band, some are in hospital, and others are" non-cons." 'rhe company inspection and the equalizing having been finished, the battalion was wheeled into line prepared for the reception of the reviewing officer. The officers present were Lieut.- Colonel Sir R. A. Cunliffe, commanding Maiors C. R. Totten- ham and R. F. Birch; Captains Barker, Hunter, Dicken, Kirkby, Sheriff, Mainwaring, Tipping, and Humberston; Lieutenants Bell, Chichester, Hughes, Skeene, Fitzpatrack, Townshend, Mostyn Owen, and Barker: Captain and Adjutant R. F. Wil- liamson, Quartermaster Kenny, and Surgeon Williams. At this time a large number of spectators had congregated on the ground, the number being much beyond the average, and included re- presentatives of most of the leading families of the district. Col. Cooper, accompanied by Colonel EIgee, of the 23rd Regiment, Major of the Brigade Depot, arrived on the field about half-past eleven, being received with a general salute, the band playing a few bars of the March of the men of Harlech." Having in- spected the line left and rear, Colonel Cooper took his station at the saluting post while the regiment went through the usual movements and manoeuvres. The battalion having been formed in quarter column, Colonel Cooper addressed them, congratulating the officers and men on the very satisfactory result of the inspection. They had had several adverse circumstances to contend with-the rainy weather, the absence of the reserves, &c., but there was very little falling off, if any, from the previous reviews, and he was not able to see any difference between their appearance now and the other occasions he had inspected them, and he should have the pleasure of making a most satisfactory report to the authorities respecting them. The men were then marched off the field. Colonel Cooper inspected the recruits on Thursday, and ex- pressed his opinion that they were the finest he had seen in the district.

A £ IT D E T O K H I y A XX BY CAPTAIN FRED BURNABY, Royal Horse Guards. Pagfv 13 says :—"Two pairs of boots lined with fur were also taken; and for physic—with which it is as well to be supplied when travelling in out-of-the-way places—some quinina and Cockle's pills, the latter a most invaluable medicine, and one which I have used on the natives- of Central Africa with the greatest possible success. In fact, the marvellous effects produced upon the mind and body of an Arab Sheik, who was impervious to all native medicines, when I administered to him five COCKLE'S PILLS will never fade from my memory; and a friend of mine, who. passed through the same district many months after- wards, informed me that my fame as a medicine man had not died out, but that the marvellous cure was even then a theme of conversation in the bazaar." SEE BURNABY'S RIDE TO KHIVA, page 13. A GOOTTFAMILY MEDICINE CHEST, with a prudent use, has-saved many a life and yet we think the idea may be improved upon, and reduced to a njere simple form. Take some good compound, such as COCKLE'S ANTIBILIOUS PILLS, and we find that the desired end may be obtained with- out scales and weights, or little mysterious compartments or enchanted bottles, with crystal stoppers. Others might be used, but COCKLE'S PILLS, as tested by many thousands of persons, and found to answer their purpose so well, may be set down as the best. —Observer.
