LONDON GOSSIP. An illClicrnationmeeting of 4,000 Hindoos has been held at Calcutta to protest against any interference with the freedom of street preaching, which is all the Salytltionists claim, who have been interfered with at Bombay. A Mussulman priest at Bombay, instead of flying into a passion because Major" Tucker and his 00mpanior>s seek to convert Mahomedatis to Chris- tianity, is making a serious attempt to convert the Major" to the faith of Islam by challenging him to a theological discussion in the doctrines of the two religions. The "Major" prudently declines the challenge, and refers his adversary to the bishops and clergy of the Established Church. Mr Parnell is charged in the evening papers with having evicted three tenants on his estate at Avondale for non-payment of rent. The story was received with joy by those who hoped to discredit him. But fair- Piay is fairplay all the world over, and the story needs explanation. The tenant whom Mr Parnell has evicted Is the secretary of the emergency committee in his district. He has his land at a comparatively low rent, and sub-lets it to three other tenants. He had paid no tent for four years, yet he proposed to evict his own sub-tenants, whose holdings have been held at a much chanced rent. Finding this Mr Parnell has deter- lnined to evict the middleman in order to save the s>nalU-r men but just as a debenture holder sueing in the Court of Chancery must make all his, fellow stock- holders parties to the suit, so Mr Parnell has been obliged to place the names of the sub-tenants upon the record. Mr Green confesses himself defeated. After haying chosen to bear the martyr's crown, and suffered imprisonment for eighteen months—after having been beatified by his party and given a name to a new black-letter day—after having sworn to surrender ftothiiif to the head of the State, and to perish in the attempt to prove that his interpretation of the law or the Church was superior to that of the Privy Council— the Church was superior to that of the Privy Council— he has at length practically admitted that the State is one too many for him, and, by the resignation of his benefice, has surrendered to the foe. His surrender has only anticipated his release by a few days. When I the lawyers found that it was doubtful whether the bishop of Manchester had any locus standi before the courts to demand his release, the agitation became Extreme. There were communications between arch- bishops, law officers, and even Cabinet Ministers. It was agreed that some way must be found of freeing the prisoner from his durance. Lord I enzancc con- curred in the view of the necessities of the case, and the release would (we learn upon unquestionable Authority j have been ordered on Saturday. Mr Green's exclusion from the altar of Miles Platting lk.(,)Ulcl then have become a mere matter of police. In months' time, the Bishop of Manchester would have given Miles Platting a new pastor and the fight ia the courts would have been carried 011 with all the a'lvan.tage on the side of the bishop of having his man 1,1 possession. Beati possidentes. Mr Green has put 5111 end once and for ever to all that. He retires from *{* conflict that he may carry out with him some of »he honours of the war and he has at least one satis- .act:on he has by his own sufferings prevented the Imprisonment of any more of the Ritualist clergy. llt- on the other hand, he has had to confess that the "^lesiustical courts of the Queen are stronger than the P^'ate judgments of the members of the English "m-ch Union. He has had, like Mr Tooth and Mr °-le, to bow before the authority which he despised has thereby proved that the Church of England is national at least in the sense that its clergy cannot '^lL'cessfuiiy resist the will of the people expressed in ^'liainent by constitutional legislation. If that con- ?Ssiou i n unpalatable, Mr Green's remedy is an agita- >.?n tor disestablishment.

Jffrmit the fhipcrs. Mr S. D. Waddy, Q.C., was on Friday elected for Edinburgh by 8,454 votes, as against 7,718 given to Mr Renton, the other Liberal candidate. It is now definitely settled that Sir Garnet Wolseley will take the title of Baron Wolseley of Cairo and of Wolseley, in the county of Stafford, whilst Sir Beau- champ Seymour will take the title of Baron Seymour of Alcester, in the county of Worcester. An inquest lias been held at Bristol on the "body of Isaac lies, eight years old, who met with his death in a singular manner. He was sitting on a doorstep witli a knitting-needle in his mouth, when Esther Longdeu, a girl of thirteen, knocked him down, and, the boy falling forward, the needle went through the roof of his mouth, entered the brain, and caused death. It is stated that the Archbishop of Canterbury intends shortly to resign his position. It was known some weeks ago, when the Archbishop was seriously ill, that his Grace had arrived at this decision. In accordance with the act providing for such retirement, his Grace will retain his seat in the House of Lords, and one-third of the emoluments of his office. The rumour of his Grace's contemplated retirement is con- tradicted. On Monday the coroner for Flintshire held an inquest upon the body of John James Jones, timber merchant, Caerwys, who died suddenly a few days ago. It was shown that the deceased was in the habit of taking narcotics to induce sleep, and a bottle partly filled with laudanum was found in his bedroom. The deceased told his wife that he was afraid he had "over- done" it. The jury returned a verdict of Died from natural causes." On Thursday morning her Majesty's judges and the Queen's Counsel breakfasted with the Lord Chancellor at his private residence in Portland-place, and after- wards proceeded to Westminster to open the law courts. On arriving there, the judges, headed by the Lord Chancellor. passed along the hall to their respec- tive courts. The procession included Mr Justice Pearson, who has succeeded Vice-Chancellor Hall, Westminster Hall was hardly so crowded as on previous occasions, but still there was a large as- semblage, including a number of ladies. In a case before the Probate Court on Friday Mrs Waight propounded the will of her late husband. In 1S76 he executed a will, by which all his property was left to his wife, and gave it into her care. Some time afterwards, in a quarrel, she tore it up, and threw the fragments into the fire. Waight collected the bits, and put them in an envelope, which he labelled "poison." This envelope was found upon him after his death, and, the pieces being put together, the Court was asked to pronounce for it as the duly-executed will. The Court was satisfied with the execution of the document, and decided accordingly. Cetewayo his taken back from England many hand- some and costly souvenirs of his visit, including a stick with silver head and silver ferule, given to him by the Prince of Wales; beautiful Cashmere shawls from great ladies for his wife and female suite; superb railway rugs, and piles of prints and other dress stuffs for the use of persons who prefer the garb of Nora Creina. But of all his mementoes that which he values most is a great silver goblet, presented to him by the Queen, and bearing the inseription: Presented to H.M. King Cetewayo by H.M. Queen Victoria, August 14th, 1882." In addition to the goblet the Queen gave him with her own hands a photograph of herself, rather larger than cabinet size. The great grave in which the remains of the four hundred victims of the terrible fire at the Ring Theatre, Vienna, were buried, has been visited by fully half a million persons on Thursday (All Saints'- day) and Friday. A tragic affair has occurred in connection with this event. A German lady, Frau Petter, of Gotha, whose son perished in the flames on the terrible night of the 8th December last, and who had since lost her only daughter, came to Vienna, and was among the crowd who visited the tomb of the Ring Theatre victims on Thursday morning. On returning to her hotel in the afternoon the unfortunate woman, overcome with grief and despair, shot herself with a revolver. On Friday afternoon her remains were interred in the common grave containing the ashes of her son. A deputation from the London and Counties Liberal Union last week presented to Mr Gladstone a resolu- tion passed at a recent meeting of the executive com- mittees of the Metropolitan Liberal Associations, tendering to the Government their hearty support in regard to the new Rules of Procedure. Mr Glad- stone, in reply, said he took no credit to himself or to the Government for these rules. They had become a positive necessity, and the Ministry had no choice. The Government would soon become a laughing-stock if something was not done to prevent the power of the House from getting into the hands of small minority. He was pleased to receive the resolution, and he felt sure the Liberal feeling of the metropolis was the Liberal feeling of the country. He had already received 184 such resolutions from Liberal consti- tuencies, and each requested him and his colleagues to adhere to their proposals. The Salisbury coroner held an inquest on Thursday on the body of Walter Freiderich, aged twenty-five. The deceased, who had been in affluent circumstances, had recently become a photographer, and on Monday evening arrived at Salisbury, where he called 011 a friend and had tea with him, arranging to visit the Cathedral the next day. He was very lively, but mentioned lie was out of a situation. He slept at a eoffee-holse in the city. On the bedroom being entered next morning he was found dead, with a bottle by his side which had contained cyanide of potassium. With the bottle was a letter addressed to his sister at St. Leonards, as follows:—"Dear Charlotte, an act so rash as the one I am about to commit cannot be forgiven by God; and I once told you I would never apply to you for help any more. Forget me and forgive me if you can. I don't know what I am saying. Former extravagance and sin have brought me to this. My last request is to pay the people in this house for their inconvenience. Farewell." Temporary insanity was the verdict of the jury. In reference to the disappearance of Urban Xapoleon Stanger, and the .charge of forgery against Francis Stumm, the Police, acting under instructions from Scotland-yard, have made a discovery at 136, Lever street, St. Luke's the residence of the missing man. Two officers from Scotland-yard, assisted by workmen, have, within the last few days, been engaged in search- ing the premises. The back yard was carefully dug up, and in the abscance of any discovery a further search was made in the house. The loft over the ovens was next searched, the boards were taken up, and im- mediately over one of the ovens a quantity of bones were found. These have been removed, it is believed, to gcotland-yard, for medical examination. Great ex- citement prevails in the neighbourhood of St. Luke's, and a report is current that, in addition to the above discovery, a shirt collar, stained with what is supposed to be human blood, has been fcund. The defence, however, is understood to be that Stanger left his wife, after assaulting her in a fit of jealousy, taking with him upwards of £100 from an iron safe, and expressing his intention of proceeding to America. 11 At Carnarvon County Petty Sessions, on Saturday, before Captain Wynn Griffiths and other magistrates, Robert Griffith, aged fifty-three, quarry labourer, Yankee-street, Llanberis, was charged on remand with attempting to murder two illegitimate children, of whom his wife is the mother. The evidence given at the previous inquiry showed that the prisoner had been married about a year ago to his wife, who was much his junior. About eight o'clock on the night of the 23rd October, the wife put the children to bed and left the house in her husband's charge. A smell of burning attracted the notice of the neighbours, who found the prisoner was endeavouring to extinguish a mattress which was on fire. One of the children, a boy ten years old, said that he and his sister, two years younger than himself, were put to bed by their mother, and slept until the "old man," meaning the prisoner, removed them from the bed. The pillow was on fire, but neither of them were injured. On the following night the prisoner went to Police-constable Griffith (43), and consequent upon his statements and the re- presentations of his wife, the police took up the matter. The prisoner it was stated, belonged to a queer family, his brother, whilst temporarily insane, having lately hanged himself. Deputy Chief-constable Protheroe stated that since the remand the police had instituted further inquiries, and they did not intend proceeding further. The prisoner was discharged. A serious collision with the military has arisen out of a terrible crime, committed last Christmas, at Ashland, in Kentucky. Three men were murdered by three men, one of whom was sentenced to penal servitude for life, and promptly lynched. His accomplices hav- ing secured a change of venue for their trial were one day last week to be taken to Lexington, with a military force as a guard, owing to the threats which had been used. The commander of the escort, learning that it had been arranged to tear up the railway track, decided to take the prisoners by steam-boat route. The mob. after seizing the railway train at Ashland, went to Catletsbury, where they found two companies of infantry with artillery guarding the approaches to the river and the wharf. They demanded that the prisoners should be handed over to them, but this way refused, and the steamer started. At Ashland the mob seized the ferry-boat and intercepted the steamer. Somebody fired a single shot. The military replied with volley after volley both into the mob and into a crowd of curious and inoffensive spectators, almost the entire town being congregated on the bank. Five persons were killed, including a colonel, and over twenty others were wounded, some of them fatally, the injured persons being of all ages and both sexes. Some accounts give the loss of life as greater than now stated. The mob and the soldiers arc equally blamed for their rash conduct.

BORTH SEA WALL. We find that the enclosed reply to the memorial sent up in the summer has been transmitted to the land- owners interested, together with a note asking them if they are disposed to give up their rights in the common land at Wern Lery as suggested by Sir H. Loch. Their replies have not been received, but they have had plenty of time to consider the matter. If a sea wall cannot be erected, and the cost defrayed in the manner suggested in the memorial above referred to. an attempt will have to be made to get the Rural Sanitary Authority to erect a wall for the purpose of protecting the pipes which carry the water from the reservoir to the village. The cost, of course, would come upon the ratepayers of Cyfoeth-y-brenin. It cannot be, we should think, to the interest of the land- owners to allow an additional burden of this kind to fall on the shoulders of their tenants when another and more preferable mode of proceeding is practicable. Office of Woods, &c., S.W., 14th June, 1882, Sill,—I am directed by Sir Henry Loch to inform you that the Board of Trade have forwarded to him a copy of a memorial presented through you from the inhabitants of Borth, county Cardigan, calling attention to the serious danger to life and property occasioned by the encroachments of the sea at Berth,and pointing out that acres of common Crown lands in the immediate neigh- bourhood could, if power were granted, be utilized towards the expenses of embanking the frontage. In reply, I am directed by Sir H. Loch to inform you that the greater part of the frontage land, upon which the houses are erected, was sold by the Crown many years ago for trifling sums, and that the development of the place as the summer resort of visitors has considerably enhanced the value of the property. As regards the com- mon land at Wern Lery, Sir H. Loch has no power to make a free grant of it for any purpose whatsoever, but if the commoners are disposed to give up their rights in that part of it which lies on the sea side of the railway, Sir H. Loch might feel himself warranted in recommend- ing the Board of Trade to authorise him to make a suit- able contribution towards defraying the costs of embank- ing the frontage.—lam, &c., W. JOUHAY.

A WIFE SOON LOST. At the Westminster Police Court last Thursday a gentleman, who said his name was Vincent, applied to the magistrate, and said he wanted to find his newly- married wife.—Mr D'Eyncourt asked what were the circumstances under which she had disappeared.—The applicant said that he was an ex-lieutenant of the Royal Navy, and lived at 30, Wellington-square, King's-road, Chelsea. The lady he had married was an actress, or certainly rehearsing for a theatrical engagement. They were married at the Registry office at Croydon on Wednesday morning, and parted at Victoria Station, on the understanding that she went to her place at 12, Walpole-street, Chelsea, brought away her boxes, and joined him at his rooms at Wellington-square but she failed to meet him, and lie could not tell what had become of her.—Mr D'Eyncourt asked if there had been any wedding breakfast.—Applicant replied, Oh, no. We had a little luncheon, and that was all. There were no bridesmaids or anything of that sort, and we were married at Croydon and came to Victoria."—Mr D'Eyncourt thought the application a very singular one. Why on earth could the applicant's wife have deserted him in this way so shortly after marriage ?— Applicant said the thing was beyond explanation.— Mr D'Eyncourt asked if lie had rivals.—Applicant said no, certainly not, and that made the matter all the more incomprehensible. He was really afraid that some mischief had happened to her. He had com- municated with the police at Scotland-yard without effect. — Mr D'Eyncourt again asked whether she could not possibly have changed her mind. He was very sorry for the applicant, but the best thing he could do was to consult the police, ami see what assistance the press could render him.—Applicant thanked his worship, anll retired, The woman is with some friends at Reading, a telegram to that effect having been received in London on Friday. It appears that after parting with her husband 011 the day of her wedding, she went to her former lodgings, paid what she owed, and then left without saying whither she was going.*

A MURDER, AT HOLYWELL. The usual quietude which prevails at Holywell was disturbed on Sunday morning by the report of an occurrence which took place 011 the mountain table- land known as Pennyball. Late on Saturday night— between eleven and twelve o'clock—some persons returning home from Holywell were met on the steep ascent from the town by a man who was crying loudly that his brother had been shot. This man appeared to be in a distracted state, and as they proceeded further up the hill they came upon a man who was apparently dead. A number of persons congregated by the alarm thus raised, and ultimately the police arrived, accompanied by Dr James Williams, of Holy- well, who. after an examination of the body, pro- nounced life to have been extinct some time. The deceased was a labouring man named Edward Thomas, who, with his wife and six children resided at Tasnewydd, Bagillt. Subsequent inquiry resulted in the apprehension, by Superintendent Hughes and Sergeant Matthews, of William Roberts, a young married man, who resided in a cottage near to where the body of the deceased was found, and who is now in custody on the charge of murder. The crime appears to have resulted from jealousy. Roberts, about June last, married a young woman who formerly was housekeeper to the deceased's brother, Thomas Thomas, who was a widower, and to whom it is alleged she was at one time engaged to be married. The two brothers, Edward Thomas and Thomas Thomas, were loitering about the prisoner's house Oil Saturday night, although it was about four miles distant from their own homes. The prisoner suddenly appeared upon the scene, and, in the frenzy of excite- ment created by jealousy, lie seized a gun intending, it is presumed, to shoot his rival, but instead shot his rival's brother. The contents of the gun, a formidable weapon used by poachers in the district, lodged in the unfortunate man's chest, which was completely riddled with shots. The event has created the greatest excitement in the district, no case of murder having taken place in Holywell for the past twenty-two years. On Monday afternoon, the coroner for Flintshire opened an inquest at Holywell on the body of Edward Thomas, who was shot dead by William Roberts, on Saturday night. Last June, a young woman, a house- keeper to Thomas Thomas, brother of the murdered man, was married to Roberts, who belongs to the Denbighshire militia. Thomas now deposed that, with his brother, he went to Holywell on Saturday night, where she was living, and. whilst loitering about, Roberts came out to them with a gun, and demanded what they wanted. Deceased replied. "Nothing;" whereupon Roberts retorted, Yes, you do, and, raising the gun, added, "I would not care a bit to shoot you." He then fired, and Edward Thomas fell dead. The inquest was adjourned. -0

RELEASE OF THE REV. S. F GREEK. The Rev. S. F. Green has written, from hi a cell in Lancaster Castle, a letter to the patron or; the living, Sir Percival Heywood, tendering his resignation of the benefico. Mr Green has also written a letter to the congregation and parishioners, stating his reasons for taking this step. With regard to the Bishop of Man- chester moving for his release in Lord Penzance's Court, on Ssturday, he says that, feeling it his duty to resist the usurped power of Lord Penzance to the utmost of his power, he must deprecate the appearance of a bishop in the Court even by deputy. He is also of opinion that the patron of the living ought not to be permitted to embark on a new venture in disputing the legality of his (Mr Green's) deprivation, for it would entail much expense on what was probably a foregone conclusion. Mr Green also thinks it well for the congregation and parishioners that he should resign, for he could never again be with them as before Mr Grean was released on Saturday evening from Lancaster Castle, and proceeded by the S-50 train to Morecambe, arriving there about nine o'clock. Not- withstanding that his release was not generally known, he was identified by several persons at the station, but no demonstration was made, and he at once proceeded to his wife's lodgings. He appeared to be in fair health and excellent spirits.

THE CONDITION OF NEWCASTLE EMLYN CHURCHYARD. Last week Dr Hoffman, of the Home Office, attended to inspect and report to the Secretary of State on the condition of this parish churchyard. A large number of ratepayers were present. Dr Hoffman read a joint letter from the vicar and churchwardens and medical officer of health for the district (Mr Lloyd) reporting the over-crowded condition of the churchyard.—Mr Fitzwilliams thought that the last Burials' Act might have caused bad feeling in the district and had given rise to this inquiry.—Mr Thomas Jones and the Vicar of Llandyfriog differed from Mr Fitz,,N-iliiai-ii s. -Tile late medical officer and the present one, in reply to questions from the inspector, said they had reported the condition of the churchyard on more than one occasion.—Mr Samuel Evans, on examination by the inspector, said he had been forty years a sexton, and there was now only a very small vacant space left for burials. He thought that ten more bodies might be interred on the north side of the church.—The Rev E. Jones, curate, considered there was not room for two unless the burials were made contiguous to the church wall.—Dr Hoffman said that no burials could be made nearer than seven feet from the wall.-I)i Thomas complained on sanitary grounds that the graves were not deep enough.—The Sexton said the usual depth was six, eight, or ten feet, except on re- opening graves, in which cases the bodies were not more than three or four feet from the surface; some- times only two feet. The soil was wet, and lie had often to bale water out of a grave prior to a funeral. He had seen coffins on either side occasionally, but always allowed a foot between the graves. There were no vaults, but about fifty-four partially walled graves. The number of graves was about SS.i.-Dr Hoffman explained to the meeting that by the Public Health Interments Act of 1879 the Sanitary Authority could compel the purchase of new land for interment.—Mr J. Evans said there was no Local Board of Health at Newcastle Emlyn, and asked if the local authority (who are the guardians of the union) had the same com- pulsory powers.—Dr Hoffman said he was not sure, but he thought such powers were vested in them. After an animated discussion, Dr Hoffman eventually decided to leave the matter open for another three months, and said that, unless something were done in the mean- while to acquire a spot, it would be his duty to recom- mend the Home Office to close the churchyard.—On a question being put as to whether the Government would contribute towards the expense of a cemetery, Dr Hoffman replied in the negative.—It was ultimately decided to convene a meeting to discuss the subject.

An extract from the second edition (page 1S8) of the translation of the Pharmacopoeia of the Royal College of Physicians of London, by Dr G. F. Collier, published by Longman and Co.:— It is no small defect in this compilation (speaking of the New Pharmacopoeia) that we have no purgative mass but what contains aloes; yet we know that hieinorrhoidal persons cannot bear aloes, except it be in the form of COCKLE'S PILLS, which chiefly consist of aloes, scammonv, and colcynth, which I think are formed into a sort of compound extract, the acidity of which is obviated. I suspect, by an alkaline process, and by a fourth ingredient (unknown to me) of an aromatic tonic nature. I think no better and no worse of it for its being a patent medicine. I look at it as an article of commerce and domestic convenience, and do not hesitate to say it is the best made Pill in the Kingdom; a muscular purge, a mucous purge, and a hydrogogue purge combined. and their effects properly controlled by a ciirigent and corrigent. That it does not commonly produce hemorrhoids, like most aloetie pills, I attribute to its being thoroughly soluble, so that io undissolved particles adhere to the mucous membrane."
