FATAL ACCIDENT WITH A THRESHING MACHINE.

In cases of tins sort he ihou^ht they should enquire wucther there was not a respon- Rihilitv replug on the parties using these machines, and wh ther it would r."t be possible to devis- some means whereby the number of deaths might be lessened. He was of opinion that a strong representation should be made on the subject to the Secretary of State. The lir-t w itness called was Edward Benuett, who said he was feeding til" machine on the day of the accident (Monday, Oct. 27th), a-id ;.he deceased was engaged to cirry water. In the evening tho deceased came upon the machine to cut sheaveq.

The boy came UD on the sv.ge of his own accord. He handed me the sheaves. I told hna to go down, but be would not go, saying that he had been cutting sheaves before. He went on cutting sheaves. The next thing I could see w.is the deceased- with his leg in the drum d the machine. He had not been on the platform a. quarter of rto hour before this happened. We were all sot,of. Deceased stepped into the drum at the end of the stage. There is no lediie there to protect the platform. The machine was then inspected, and the position of the feeder and the boy at the time explained by Mr Edwards. The witness Bennett said he did not believe any one sont for the boy up. When he Ml into the machine, witness caught hold of him to pjgwant his getting in further, and called to the engine manJtQ stop j&e engine. He was got out, and carried in a blanket t°bed. orl, Job Morris, of Nowtown, was engaged in unloading wheat from a w., ggoil to the stage of the machine, and the hut witness, Edward llennett, received the sheaves from him.

) HERE AND THERE. IVi hanR Mr Newdegate is one of thof-e men whom it is best, for 'di reasons, to let alone. They need no assi^tacce from gods or men to show their own foily or to forfeit e confidence of the wise. But, unfortunately, there are oo in the world, and ignorant people, to whom Mr ew i.-< still clothed with some autho ity. hpea^mg o o these the other day, he stated that Dr Manning had said, in a sermon preached ten years ago and afterwards rep ub- li,,be,1, "that Guy ltawke.J, Garnet, and the esuIts who were allied with him, although they were arraigned as cul- nri^in the doc k, now stand arrayed in bright roi.es, and at the^ right hand of Christ." Of course Dr Manning had said nothing of the kind, and he thought it worth while to direct his solicitors to ask Mr Newdegate for chapter and verse. This is the pious Mr Newdegate's ingenious reply. As his principal authority for his statement, he quotes a pas. sage from a sermon in which the Archbishop said of the Je- iinits :—" Whatataleisthe history of these 300 years I-a two- fold history, written both in earth and heaven by the wise and wordly here on earth entitled the execution of justice 7n heaven, the roll of martyrs. On earth they wore the garb of felons in heaven they stand arrayed in white, and crowned. Here they were arraigned in the dock as male- factors there they sit by the throne of the Son of God." Mr Newdegate has placed the letter fr"lll Dr Mannings solicitors in the bands of his solid tor, and in a letter to the Times, Dr Manning's solicitors states that the Archbishop considers it due to his fellow religionists to make Mr New- degate answer for his rash and reckless assertions; but a subsequent letter states that the Archbishop is satisfied with having placed Mr Newdegate in this position before the public. From this little episode, it may be seen how much dependence can be placed upon religious controver- sialists. According to the Rock-not. a. very safe authority the arrangements for a great National meeting, expressive sympathy with Germany in her present struggle with Ultra- montanism, are making most satisfactory progress. A noble lord who has made himself a great name among the tore- most statesmen of the Liberal party, Has agreed to occupy the chair. The meeting, which will include men of every grade and shade in politics, will (D. V.) be held early in the ensuing year." It may be gravely doubted whether, on that condition, the meeting will be held, but the noble lord and, his friends will probably assume that God is willing, since they themselves are. It is not a pleasant prospect, though—that of a great meeting of Englishmen to sympa- thize with persecution A writer in the Birmzngham Post gays-" Having heard every speech Mr Mill made in the House of Commons, and knowing what was said and thought m the House about him the part of his life which relates to his political career strikes me as singularly insufficient. I remember Mr Bnghts opinion of Mr Mill's speeches, 'that they had made the debates of the House of Commons respected by intelligent people;' and this was the simple truth. The reason why Mr Mill's speeches deserved such high rank was that their manner was so intensely veracious. He ascertained, with the utmost exactitude beforehand, what he thought about the question before the House, and he sought to make his words conform to his thought with similar exactitude. His style was totally different to the ordinary loose, unreal, and wordy style of the House, the most complete contrast to it which the House has ever known, perhaps, since the days of the Long Parliament, when, if we may trust' Verney's Notes,' the members, intent on economising time, used a compression something like that which distinguished Mr Mill. Sometimes I have imagined a House which should adopt this style a House whose debate should be put into a column of the Times daily or a column and a half, when members should argue a bill as they would argue in their caunting-house, and when rhetoric should be abandoned to the Church and the debating society. What a tremendous gain it would be, and how greatly would the vitality of our representative institutions be increased We shall never si-e such a House perhaps, but still it is something to have had the ideal presented to us, as it undoubtedly was, by Mr Mill." The same writer, referring to Mr Miall's contem- plated letirement. says-" Whatever we may think about him, he stands by himself; and, considering the pain- ful uniformity of the House, its plutocratic uniformity, his uniqueness alone makes him better worth keeping than half-a-hundred average members. There are many other reasons, however-too many to be told here-which will make me regret his absence. Mainly, they are the reasons which caused us to mourn the loss of Mr Mill. We shall lose in Mr Miall the advocate of disestablishment, but his apostleship of this cause, important as it was, was, perhaps, not so important as the influence exerted by his singular sincerity, which, beginning deep within, came right through, and reached the simplest words he spoke. This it Vis which made his power, and where to look for a like sin- cerity, of as pure a quality as it existed in him, I know not."

LOCAL WELSH WORTHIES. DIv, JENKYN. "Strive in thy humble sphere to shine. "-Bu?-ns, Amongst patriotic Welsh worthies the name of Thomas William Jenkyn will be mentioned with honour and respect. Jenkyn was born at Merthyr, Sept. 1st. 1794. His father was a collier, and could not afford to spend more than a small amount of money in educating his children, and so vounsr Jenkvn wa» to in t>>« mines -whan very young. JKven when a boy, his unquenchable thirst for knowledge commenced, and he often attended a night school, which was kept in the town, and the English Wesleyan Sunday School, when he learned to read and understand the English language. His mind was so deeply absorbed in literary pursuits that the coal pits could not furnish any pleasure to his spirit, and so he was considered a. very awkward workboy. The mauager of the works used to change his work often for the purpose of improving him, but without the least success, and so one day his temper gave way, and he flogged young Jenkyn severely. The poor boy went towards home crying most bitterly, and firmly resolved that-he would never go down the pits again. Hia father, who had been at one time leading an extravagant life, bad by this commenced a different career by joining the Independent Church, which assembled then in a room belonging to the Crown. In 1806 there was a great "revival" amongst the different denominations at Merthyr and the surrounding neighbourhood, and, with a great number of others, young Jenkyn joined Soar Church. ItÍthe following year his uncle, a brother to his mother, the Rev. Morris Miorris, became a pastor of Ebene- zer Baptist Church, Merthyr, and succeeded in inducing his young nephew to become a member of his church, and he was'soon baptized by immersion in the river Taf. Afttr the heat of the revival was over, Mr Morris could not agree with his church, and he was obliged to leave, and young Jenkyn rejoined the Independents. Like a great number of the sons" of Cambria, preaching was his chief object. He commenced publicly his mission when about fifteen years of age, and his fame was scattered far and near under the of the" Wonderful Little Preacher." Through the influence of his pastor, he was sent for a short time to a school kept by one Mr Harries, at the Fenni. He after- wards kppta. school himself at Faenor, near Merthyr, and ii. night school at Soar. Afterwards he went to Ludlow to be a home missionary, preaching at night and in school during the day. His pastor during the time he was at Ludlow, after seeing such strong signs of talent, and won- derful progress in young jemsyn's mind, succeeded in making his way clear to Homerton Col We. generosity was shown to'Iiim," ami patriotism smiled on his humble circumstances. Here he laboured hard, and through his talents and perseverance he surmounted every difficultv, ItndBOUn reached a high posit ion amongst, his fellow stu- dents. -A F, er--Lem&uiing --aL Homerton for four years, he was appointed pastor of the Independent Church at Wem, where he remained five years, at the end of which he re- moved to Oswestry. Mr Jenkyn commenced his ministry by delivering his brilliant and logical lectures on The Atonement." Hia lectures caused a great uproar at the time, and were strongly opposed, but they made their way the public. They were published, and went through thirteen ditions in America, five in England, and one in Wales. They were translated into Welsh by the Rev. R. p,tITY. ('TW.alcbmai. In 1834 Mr Jenkyn left Oswestry for ..taffnrd, and his ministration was so successful there that the chapel, in 1837 was obliged Lo be enlarged. About this time he py&ished another book, .1i The. union ot the Snirit anfl me Church in the Conversion of the World." During his ministry at Stafford his mental labours Were so great as to be the :caftse of his having a severe pain in his head, to remove which his physicians recommended him to L'O to Germany fl-ir-mme proved to be bene- ficial to his health. Hfere h^ learned the German language to a certain extent, and became a student in Halle Univer- sity, where he had the privilege of listening to the lectures of K 'luok, Ge.-istini'is/and others. Whilst staying in Ger- many he received an invitation t> become Theological Tutor for Coward College. He soon returned to London and accepted the tutorship, and endeavoured wiJi more ener"V than ever to study the original languages to fithinl-" O'df for his new position. He gave general satisfaction as tutor In 1850 Coward College was united to those of Homerton and Highbury, and Mr Jenkyn's services were not further required. He afterwards became minister at, Rochester, wlnre he died Mav 26, 1858, aged sixty-four ytvr*. Mr Jenkyn r, ceived his P.D. from America.

November 12, 1873. NOTES. LLYN-LLYN-CAWS.—A correspondent, in Bye- gonts, Mar. 12, 1873, gave a tradition of Queen Helena resting on. the hill above this lake, and taking out a cheese to divide amongst her followers; when it rolled away into the watfr. and so the lake got a name. I observe that Mr Hancock, at p. 326 of Vol. 6, of Mont: Coll: remarks that there are several legends connected with this lake; but what caws is he has yet to learn. He says, It enters into the names of othpr places in the parish (Llanrhaiadr- yn-Mochnant), as Erw-bol-caws the word is also found in the neig-b b juring parish, as 'Craig-y-Caws,' &c. Mr Hancock thinks the original form may have been Cawr==a giant and if this explanation be received, the name would signify The Lake of the Giant." The report of the 'Os- westry and Welshpool Field Club,'for June 10.1858, refers westry and Welshpool Field Club,'for June 10.1858, refers to the lake as Llyn llun Caws'; which I suppose, would mean a lake shaped like a cheese but Mr Hancock ignores the llun,' and speaks only of the tautology in repeating. Llyn' twice in the name. N. W. S. QUERIES. TIR STENT.—I should like to have some explana- of the name Tir Stent, near Dolgelley ? HOMO. REPLIES. EXLVTO^-OF-THE-Xf.-TOWNS (Sept. 24. 1873). —Mr Anderson, in bis Shropshire, its Early Histort, and Antiquities, savs (p. 427) that the name was "acquired from the eleven towns which at some period, perhaps, consti- tuted the manor." He further adds, that it is thus de- scribed in the Conqueror's record 'The same Odo holds Udeford and Ruitone. Lauenot held them for ii manors. There i hide and a half geldable. The land is for iiii ox- teams. Here iiii villains and ii boors have ii teams. its demense is one team and ii neat-herds.

[Et v piscariae in censu vil- lanorum. -Domesday, fo. 257. b. 2.] In the time of Kin" Edward [thp land] was waste, and afterwards it was worth 13s.; now 20s.' The Saxon Lauenot having been dis- placed, his manors were given by the N irman earl to his vass d, Odo. The fisheries spoken of as being here were doubtless on the river Perry. We are further told that "early annexed to Fitz Alan's barony, through the influ- ence of this great chieftain doubtless it was, that Ruyton came to be annexed to the Hundred of Oswestry, over which Fitz Alan's interest was paramount. Appropriated thus to his exclusive jurisdiction in the marches; a dis- trict where the baron suffered neither sheriff or king to in- terfere in matters appertaining to its civil jurisdiction Ruyton became almost lost to English records." NElIW. COLONEL JONES THE REGICIDE. (June 5, Julv 3, 24, Aug. 7. Sept. 4, Nov. 6. Dec. 11, 18, 1872; Feb. 12, Apr. 23, Aug. 27, Sept. 17, 1873). I send you an extract from the Proceedings of the Society of Antiquaries upon this subject (published Mayl, 1873), as follows "T. J. Arnold, Esq., F.S.A., exhibited by permission of Thomas Jones, Esq., an exact copy, made in 1810, from the original Pedigree of Colonel Jones the Regicide, which has been in the possession of Mr Jones's family ever since the time of (iolonel Jones, who was taken after the Re- storation at Kilhendre Park, and executed for high treason at Charing- Crss, October, 1660. proclaiming that he re- garded the sledge on which he was drawn to the scaffold as the fiery chariot in which the prophet was borne up to heaven. The pedigree is thus described This is the Pedigree an,l Atchieuvment of the honourable and truly noble Colonell John Jones. Esquire, a Member of Par- liament, and one of the honourable counsell of the state of England, declaring his descent, together with the descent of his vertuous consort, as well from the Royall blood of the Norman and Plantagenetts, Kings of England, as from all the Royall races and nobilitie of Wales, and selected out of the Exqueeher rolles, and other records remayning at Caernarvon, and also out of antieut charters, Euidences, and works of the best approved Antiquaries and Bards of Wales, vidlt.

Iolo Goch, Lewis Glvn C)thi, Guthyn Owen, Gwilim Tew, &c., by the industrie and trauail of Robert Yaughan of Hengwrt in the county of Merioneth, Esquire, and finished the 30th day of Januarie, Anno Dom. 1649°.' "The Robert Vaughan of Hengwrt who compiled it was a very celebrated antiquary and genealogist, and a country gentleman of high position, ancestor of the Vaughans of Nannau, Hengwrt, and Rhug, Baronets. Another John Jones, of the present Mr Jones's family, was also a dis- tinguished antiquary and collector of MSS. and friend of Vaughan's, with whom he agreed that the survivor should inherit the library and MSS. of the other. Jones died first, and his collections, incorporated with Vaughan's, and forming the most important in Wales, descended to the last baronet, who bequeathed them to his kinsman and executor, W. W. E. Wynne, Esq., F.S.A., of Peniarth, late M.P. for Merionethshire, by whom they are duly valued and studied. The notes appended by Robert Vaughan contain some historical and topographical particulars probably not to be met, with elsewhere. They have been published by Mr Jones in the Arcnieocoytu, ou*nf/rr.n.n.-<. "Mr Jones also exhibited a Grant, dated 31st Dec., 1G58, under the Great Seal of Ireland, by Richard Crom- well, Lord Protector, to John, Lord Jones, of extensive domains in Ireland, including the famous castle of Blarney. F.S. A. When I wrote the few lines relative to Col. Jones in Bye-pones, Sept. 17. 1873, I had not mv Merioneth- shire Collections to refer to. You will see that I doubted whether the tombstone was at Llanenddwyn or Llau- ddwywe. I now refer to my notes relative to tae former church, made on the spot by myself many years since, and send you the following extract from them. At page 69,1 find On an old tombstone in the churchyard are the let- ten E, J., and date 1665. This is said to cover the remains of Jones, the Regicide, a palpable error, for his name was John, and he was beheaded in 1660, or 1661." Further on, in the same volume, I find, Llanenddwyn (additional) E I V. 1665 Eb (I believe it is Feb.) I have some doubt whether the 3rd letter is correct, or whether it is merely an ornament on the stone. This is the stone referred to at page 68 said to be to the memory of Col. Jones, the Regi- cide." You may depend upon the correctness of the ab >ve W. JUBILEE TOWER, ON MOEL VAMMA (Oct. 1, 1873). — Was this tower ever completed? The first stone was Lid by Lord Kenyon in 1809, and the designs for the tower were by Mr Harrison, of Chester, described as an Eminent architect; but whose work if judged by this tower and Whittington Church, only Prove 1that 1 ations of his brain were eminently U £ ^.Y\ 1819, ac- cording to Hughes (Beauties of Cambria), the tower was not perfectly finished," and in 1850, Parry in his Royal Progresses, says in a note (p. 416) "We are sorry to learn that the monument is in a very dilapidated state; and un- less it is so -n repaired, will, in all probability, tumble down." A few years after this it seems to have been par- tially restored, for Mr William Davies, of Jesus Chapel, in his Hand Book of the Vale of Clioyd, 1856, says, This tower was never finished; a few years ago a subscription was raised to repair it, one corner being completely down this portion was rebuilt, and the building underwent a thorough pointing, or ere this it would have been a heap of stonts." From the same book I gather that during the winter of 1855-6, some damage was done to another corner, during a storm. The Gossiping Guide to Wales states that the column of the tower fell in 1862, and since that time I am not aware that there has been any attempt at repairs, and I fear that there is little prospect of any being done, unless the Prince of Walea will consent to lay the first stone of the restoration (and to stay more than a couple of hours in the Principality) ;-in that case enthusiasm would be excited, iuid subscription3 would flow in readily enough.

LEGAL DIFFICULTIES (Oct, 8, 1873).—The mention of the police case at Llanymynech, when It SCTlme took place in two counties, reminds me that I have heard old folks Fay that at one time prize fights were common in the village because the la'.v was so easily evaded in consequence of tlie proximity of the three counties, Denbigh, Mont gomtry, aud Salop. It is stated in Hulbert's Shropshire (p. 21,3), that the principal dwpllings are in Salop and Denbigh. A parlour at the Lion Inn is so divided, hence on a recent occasion, when an inquest was held by Mr Edmunds, coroner, in the said room, he would have acted out of his juiisdiction, bad not Mr Kempster, solicitor, ap- prised him of his being then in the county of Denbigh." This was published in 1837. N.W.S. WELSH AUTHORS (Oct. 8, 1873).—Lodowick Loid was one of her Majesty's strgeant-at-arrns.

TIPYN O BOB PFTH. J1. There will be i. winter as,iz- at Chester. Miss Gladstone has already received wedding gifts from the Queen and others. It is stated that there are twenty Libe-als and twenty Conservatives in the Chester Council. Tne eldest son of Mr Sartoris, M.P., has been killed whilst training a horse to leap. Mr John Lewis, of Tregaron, known in bardic circles as loan Mynyw. has committed suicide by hanging. The ver- diet was Temporary Insanity." A cotnp nyhas been f irmed to purchase the peat bocr of Cwm Bychan, near Harlech, and to manufacture it into fuel. A night school for adults has been opened at Hawarden, with Mrs and Miss Gladstone and the Rev. S. E. Gladstone amongst the teachers. It is believed that the members of the Shropshire Cham- ber of Agriculture will have an opportunity of hearing Mr Howard. M.P., explain his Landlord and Tenant Bill during the present winter. The Vicar of Weston Lullingfield is making arrangements with Robert Wright, the noted Border champion wrestler, to give s)me lessons in wrestling to all young men in his parish: On Wednesday, Nov. 5, Edmund Cotterall, of Buckley, was working on the roof of the engiue-h >use of Messrs Ward's Brick Works, when he slipped off, fell on his head, and sustained fatal injuries. Of the 880 burgesses who voted at the recent municipal election at Wrexham, nearly 200, or about one--fifth, it is sqid, were illiterates," and therefore had to malre a decla- ration that they could not read or write. The Board of Trade inquiry at Carnarvon respecting the loss of the schooner Eleanor Alice has resulted in the mas- ter's being found in default, and in the suspension of his certificate for six calendar months. There are now living together at Cwmcewydd, near Dinas Mawddwy, three sisters, aged 94, 89, and 83 respectively, making a total of 266 years. They are all widows and have had no children. The Civil Service Review wishes the Cymmroaorion Society every success, and will look with pleasure for the English translations of the legends of the Principality and the poems of the principal bards, which are to be published under its auspices." Instructions have been received from the Horse Guards directing the transfer of fifty men from the 1st to the 2nd Battalion 2:ird Royal Welsh Fusiliers, in order to complete the establishment of the latter for service on the West Coast of Africa Sir James Hannen has granted a decree nisi for a dissolu- ti"n of marriage between George Walter Stevenson and his wife. Stevenson was a schoolmaster, and, it will be recol- lected, was sentenced to five years' penal servitude at the last Chester Assizes, for bigamy. The man Williams, of Saltney, who was charged at Ches- ter with committing perjury by stating that he had ob- tained the consent of Mr Taylor, of the New Park Hotel, to marry his daughter, has been committed for trial, but admitted to bail. Dr Davies, of Wrexham, has received from the Local Government Board £60 5s. as a gratuity for proficiency in vaccination. Two years back Dr Davies received 83 guineas from the Board, this being the largest sum awarded to any public vaccinator in this district. This award is only given every two years. There is a tradesman living in Hawarden who has walked four miles a day to and from his work for the last 10g years. On Monday, Nov. 3, he and a friend walked from Hawar- den to Rhyl (distance 29 miles by road) in seven hours; then nine miles out of Rbyl and afterwards from Chester rail- way station to Hawarden, seven miles making a total of 45 miles in 10 hours, or about 41 miles an hour. It is now stated, in the Sunday Magazine, that From Greenland's icy mountains was first sung at St. Asapa Cathedral. How long it takes to establish a fact! It was first sung at Wrexham-but the writer in the Sunday Magazine seems to think that the Cathedral of St. Asaph is in that town The Chester Chronicle informs us that the attempt of the Cheshire farmers to strike for higher prices for their milk is not very successful. The middle-men do not care about a change that will leave their profits pretty much the same and the farmers cannot even secure unanimity amongst themselves. They want to get a shilling a gallon in winter and tenpence in summer. The death of Mr W. Tavleur, of Buntingdale, Market Drayton, is announced. Mr Tayleur had not been well for some time, but on Wednesday, Nov. 5th he came down stairs in much the same health as usual. About ten o'clock he suddenly became worse, and in a few hours he parsed away, in the seventy-first year of his age. Mr Taylur was High Sheriff of Shropshire in 1827, and represented the borough of Bridgnorth in the first reformed Parliament, in the Liberal interest. He did not offer himself for re- election. In December, 1872, Mr George Waine, of the Rowney Farm, near Market Drayton, lost a valuable horse, for which he made search in every direction, but without avail, until a few days ago, when the animal was discovered in the possession of a highly respectable gentleman at Wolver- hampton, who had purchased it. The history of the horse since it was stolen seems to have been traced by the police, and a man named Davies has been apprehended. In very few places now-a-days do we Remember, remember, The Fifth of November, The Gunpowder treason and plot, but at Ludlow, we see, last week, a committee was formed to collect subscriptions and to arrangenients for duly celebrating the anniversary. There was a procession through the town with Guy," borne by four men, and he was consigned to the flames "amidst the hooting and yelling of an immense concourse of people." The Wrexham Advertiser says-" The Circumlocution Office received an illustration in our locality last week. A o-entleman posted a letter in Wrexham on Monday evening, containing an advertisement for iusertion in the Oswestry Advertizer. Not seeing it in Wednesday's issue of that journal, he wrote for an explanation. The explanation was that the letter did not arrive until Wednesday--to(- late for publication and in verification thereof the envelope was enclosed, bearing the postmark of Wrexham, October 27th, Shifnal and Wolverhampton 28th, Shrewsbury and Oswestry 29th. This between two towns only fifteen miles apart appears a triumph of circumlocution: As this is not an isolated instance of delay between these towns, the gen- tleman has very properly forwarded a representation of the fa.cfS to the Postmaster-General, which, it is to be hoped, will be effectual in inducing a reform." At the annual dinner of the Wenlock Farmer's Club, Mr Evan Davies, in proposing the "County Members," said he knew great good had resulted from the introduction of the tenant-farmer into the House of Commons. (Hear, hear, and applause). Q lestions agricultural had received a degree of attention which they in vain looked for before, and he hoped and trusted Shropshire would -not be behind hand in adding to that little band. (Applause). There was a young man imon? them who had the abilities and the means to take his place in the Senate house, and-his un- flinching advocacy of the rights and privileges of his class fully entitled him to the distinguished mark of his compeers' esteem. He hoped they would not be asking too much if they called upon the nobility and gentry of Shropshire to make such arrangements as would give up one of the four county seats that they might send their friend to be the colleague of a Howard, a Reed, and a Pell; and if the working men could find one or more of their class able ftnd willing to take his place in this accumulation of the world's wisdom, let them by all means send him to represent them, and be, for one, would say, 'Heaven speed him.' But al- though he aimitted all this, yet, he said, and said it with sincerity, 'Heaven defend them from the time when the enactment and administration of the laws of old England in the main were taken from the hands of our present legis- lators and the like of them. We are afraid there is little chance that the "nobility and gentry" will adopt Mr Evan Davies's suggestion, though the county .could well spare one or two of the present members-say, Col. Corbett. But suppose the farmers take the matter into their own hands ? What have the nobility and gentry" specially to do with it ?

THE PRICE; OF GAS IN WREXHAM. Three weeks aco, Mr A. G. Vernon ELircourt., c uaipij• Sione-of th-Board of Trade, held an enquiry in VV rexham with respect to the application of the Wrexham n*nr for a provisional order, under the Gas and Abater Facilities Ac', of last, session, to enable them to charge one "hilling per thmisafttt feet more'than they were permitted to do under their Act, the reason assigned for the necessity of the advanced prica being, the increased cost of coal and labour. At a meeting-of the directors of the Wrexham Gas Company, on Friday, Nov. 7th, the report which Mr Harcourt has made to the Board of Trade was laid on the table. Mr Harcourt states that it is his opinion that the new works, although near to the old works and on the verge of the town, were more suitable for the manufacture of gas. The nuisances which were formerly complained of have now ceased, and he considers that the erection of new works at -a greater distance would have caused a still greater increase in the cost of manufac- ture. He is of opinion that the abandonment of the old works and the erection of the new works on the present site was a fair and wise step to take. They had been very fortunate in having provided themselves with the new works and mains just before the recent extraordinary rise in the price of iron. He does not share the apprehension that if the application for a provisional order were granted it would induce the company to increase their capital an 1 the price chargeable for gas. Any relief granted to the compmy should be such only as would save them from undue loss owing to the increased cost in the production of gas. It should not effect a diminution of dividends resulting from ftn increase of capital, whether such increase w s ju- dicious or not but, as far as possible, the oompauy should be left in the same financial position which they would have occupied had no unusual rise in prices occurred since the passing of their Act. It had been proved that the company had had a great loss during the last financial year, owing to the enhanced prices of coal, and must conse- quently suffer a great loss during the current year if they were still limited to the present maximum charge for gas. It had not, however, been proved, in his opinion, that the company h:id been guilty of such mismanagement of their concern as might be held to disentitle them to the relief sought for. He would thpreforc recommend that a pro- visional order should be made, though he wou'd leave the maximum charge to be fixed bv the Board of Trade.

FROM THE PAPERS. The Bauk race was raised to nine per cent. on Saturday. The Prussian elections have been very favourable to the Liberal" party. A London butcher has been fined B10 for having in his possession a quantity of sausages unfit for food. Four persons were injured in a railway collision which occurred on Tuesday afternoon, near Leeds. Exchequer receipts, April 1st to November 8th, lo/o, £ 42 026,286 expenditure, £ 48,134,322; Balance, £ 2,365,898. fhe Labour News savs serious apprehensions are enter- tained of depression in the cotton industries. In some mills short time has already been resorted to. Both the lidland and Lancashire and Yorkshire engine drivers are resolutely agitating for an advance of 3s. per week. The Commissioners of National Education have, by nine to seven, dec ined to reinstate Father O'Keefe as manager of the Callen Schools. The ceremony of swearing in Alderman Luk, Ithe new Lord Mayor of London, took place on Saturday Nov 8th. Mr W. T. Thomas admits in the Times that he has met with a real centenarian, Mrs Munro, who died at the Gold- smiths' Almshouses, having been in her 102nd year. It is said that Mr Carlyle is engaged upon a brochure on the struggle now going on between Germany and the Pope. Three factory girls have been sent to prison, for a month's hard labour, from the Thames Police Court, for assaulting and intimidating fellow workers who had refused to go on strike. The ministerial crisis, brought about in Canada by the resignation of Sir John Macdonald and his colleagues to avoid a vote of censure for their part in the Pacific Rail- way scandal, has come to an end by the constitution of a new cabinet, with Mr Mackenzie as premier. The Viceroy of India has published a resolution declaring that he is unwilling to interfere with the grain trade bv the prohibition of export or the regulation of the price, as he believes that the energy and enterprise of traders will meet the deficiency. In the districts most threatened he is pro- viding abundant relief works; and is paying for the labour in food or grain. Five Internationalists have been convicted at Autun of complicity in an attempt to abduct the Marchioness Mac Iahon. They were sentenced to terms of imprisonment ranging from two to four years. Later discoveries of the police give a more serious aspect to the plot. Several bishops and priests were singled out for arrest along with the Marchioness, and it was meant to hold them as hos- tages in view Hf a general rising in the South. A passenger train, in crossing the river Severn, near Bewdley, has had a miraculous escape from total destruc- tion. As it approached the bridge the crank axle of the locomotive broke, throwinar it partly off the rails. On making this discovery the driver shut off steam and leaped from the engine. Contrary to expectation, the train got safely across the bridge, though it tore up the rails all along. On Saturday morning, November 8th, a man named Wilson, fifty-four years of age, living in Catherine-street, Islington, inflicted such serious injuries upon his son, a lad ten years old, that death ensued within three hours. In the course of the day Wilson was brought up at the Clerkenwell PoUce Court and remanded upon a charge of murder. It was stated in evidence that Wilson's mind had been affected for several months past, and that his family had been negotiating for his removal into a lunatic asylum. At a meeting held in London on Tuesday night, presided over by Mr James Roberts, chairman of the Anti Coal Ring Association, it was stated that at a public meeting shortly to be held it would be proposed to appoint a depu- tation to wait upon the Chancellor of the Exchequer on the subject of the famine prices of coal. The Chairman pro- posed that ail unworked collieries should be compelled to be worked, and that every ton of coal sent of out of the country should pay an -xport duty of 10s. All that was wanted to Cirry out the. ideas was the support the pub- lic. He said the coal owers, coal vendors, and railway companies formed a c.,al nng which kept up prices. The following note is by the Peace Society :We have observed a statement in the newspapers that the Inter- national League of Peace and Liberty, at Geneva. is represented in England by the party of whom Mr Richards M.P., is the leader." This is an utter mistake, and entirely opposed to fact. Mr Richard and the E -iglish Pea6ce Society whilst fully aware that the Geneva League numbers amongst its ranks some excellent and law-abiding men of various nations, have nevertheless carefully, and on prin- ciple, abstained from any official connection or co-operation with the League, precisely because some of the objects of the latter are entirely inacrordant with the principles or the Peace Society. Mr Richards and the English Peace Society do not sanction any ultimate appeal to arms even to secure peace. They do not make Republicanism one of their aims, nor do they believe that Republicanism and liberty are necessarily connected with each other. And they do not approve any means of promulgating peace except such as I are sanctioned both by the Gospel of our Lord, and by Legal and constitutional modes of procedure. 1

ECCLESIASTICAL. At a county meeting held at Winchester to consider ttie propriety of providing a suitable memorial of the late Bishop of this diocese, Dr Wilberforce, it was resolved that a monument should he erected in the cathedral. A Pall-mall Gazette telegram states that the carriage and horses of Archbishop Ledochowski, seized in dis-ress by the Prussian authorities for fines inflicted on him, were sold by auction on Thursdav, November 6th.

POLITICAL. Mr Huddleston, Q.C., has announced his intention to contest Norwich in the Conservative interest in conjunc- tion with Sir Henry Stracey. Earl Grey writes to the Times on the Ashantee war, and disputes Sir Charles Adderly's assertion that if the Conser- vatives had been in power during the last six months there would have been no Ashantee war. Earl Grey says be cer- tainly has no inclination to defend the present Government, but he believes the war to be the direct consequence of a policy for which the Conservatives are not less rsponsible than their opponents, and of which Sir Charles himself was one of the most strenuous supporters. On Saturday, November 8th, Sir Edward Watkin ad- dressed a meeting at the Public Rooms, iixeter, and was unanimously accepted as the Liberal candidate. The Civil Service Review is enabled to state that although Mr Monsell is at the present time responsible for the management of the Post Office, it will not be many days before the right honourable gentleman relieves himself of his official responsibility. A large meeting was held in Cremona on Tuesday night, to urge upon the Government to introduce measures next session to extend the bjroug-h franchise to the counties, and to bring about a re-distribution of seats. The resolu- tion on the former point was supported, by Mr Banks, of the Lincolnshire Labourers' Union, and Mr Mitchell, of the Leamington Union. Sir Chas. Dilke subsequently spoke, and said a system of elective county government was needed in England. Mh: Arthur Milla, Conservative candidate for Exeter, addressed the electors on Tuesday night. He said he had no desire for dis ister to befal the Ministry. He was con- tent that they should go on carrying out with docility the orders of a Conservative opposition. The Tory policy was to protect the constitution of the country from home-rulers, republicans, communists, and those statesmen who were always hinting at blazing principles. A vote of confidence in Mr Mills was unanimously parsed.

THE SITUATION IN FRANCE. The French assembly was opened on the 5th of Novem- ber, with a speech from Marshal Macmahon, in which he intimated that the Government needed much more power, and that the press and the municipalities had too much freedom. Subsequently, after two or three exciting scenes, a vote of urgency," which is described as follows by the Daily News, was carried by the Right by a majority of 10 The question before the Assembly practically was, 'Shall we, or shall we not, decide that the time has come when France ought to. have a definite form of government provided for her?' Had the negotiations with Frohs- (iorf not colUpsed, the theory of the Right would have been that the time for a definite scheme of government had come, "and they would have promptly produced the scheme, and called en the Assembly to adopt it. But the change in the state of things exacted a corresponding change of theory, and therefore the Riht suddenly discovered that the tiane had not come, and that as France cannot possibly have a suitable Constitution just yet, the best thing for her is to have a Dictator, and let the Constitution waic." When it is remembered thnt there are thirteen seats pur- posely kept vacant, tho majority of ten is reasonably con- sidered not u satisfactory by the Republicans. The Daily News of Saturday "aid The important telegram which we publish from our special correspondent at Versailles describes a new aspect of the situation in France. It is the latest of a series of surprises, and it is welcome as aff ording a gleam of hope for better days. The Parliamentary Bureaux met yesterday to choose the com- mittee of fifteen charged with the examination of the project of law extending over p. period of ten years the powers of Marshal M icmahon. Contrary to expectation, eight of the Bureaux have returned members opposed to the Bill. Our correspondent, thinks that the resignation of the Be Broglie Administration, and even of Marshal Matfnahon himself, who has almost ostentatiously joined their piut, is inevitable; and thac the Republic is saved. Every well- wisher to France must hope that this judgment may prove correct. The appointment of a Dictator in th" person of Marshal Macmahon would undoubtedly be folio .ved, as the President's QJVU message clearly showed, by the introduc- tion of sev r exceptional measures f.r the redirection of the press and of public oreocn.

ACCIDENT TO THE MASTER OF THE NORTH SHEOPSHIBB HOU-NDS.-On Wednesday, Nor. 5Th. the Hon. R. d. Hill's hounds met at Ercall Mdi, where several covers were orawn blank, and the pack was afterwards turned into some neigh- bouring sorse. After half an hour's hunting for some- to bunt," a fox was started, and there was a liv ly run for about half an hour, during which period Reynard described a circle and "landed" once near Ercall Mill. Here there was a check, and took the hounds into one of the covers to hunt up the truant. when his horse stumbled or slipped over some pieces of timber that were lying upon the ground and fell Mr Hill came down upon 1, the timber, and the horse fell upon his leg, breaking it just below the knee. No medical gentleman happened t,) be among the huot, and the injured limb was temporarily bound up, so as to enable Mr Hill to be removed with as little suffering as possible. Medical assistance was after- wards procured from W em, and Mr Stead, of Pride-hill, Shrewsbury, who was r e.sent at the time of the accident, afterwards despatched Mv W. O. Withers. ♦ ♦

MEETING OF THE RIVER DEE CONSERVATORS. A meeting of the Conservators of the River Dee was held at the Town Hall, Chester, on Monday, November 3rd, when, on the motion of Mr Hodgson, seconded by Mr W. F. Ayrton, Colonel Tottenham was appointed chairman for the year, and there were present :-volone" lottenham (chairman), the Rev C. Morral, Mr Walpole (Inspector of Fisheries), Sir PhilipEgerton, Bart., M.P., Captains Massie, Tottenham Messrs J C HoJgson, A. Potts. W. F. Ayrton, Buddicom, C. W. Duncan, J. Bellis, W. Blake, T. Dougherty, '1'. Perry, F. A. Dickson, A. Mostyn Owen, Wagstaff, G. Dicken, and Captain Bush, R.N. (honorary secretary). The Chairman having returned thanks for the honour done him, Captain Bush read a statement of the receipts and expenditure in connection with the district from November 1>72 tu November, 1873. From this we learn that the year was commenced with a balance iu the bank of £ 54 0-. 5J. The receipts from licences on draft nets were 2245, coracle nets.231, and the reedpts from rod and line season tickets JE61. The fines for offences against the Salmon Fisheries Acts auaouuted to J631 lis. 01. On the other side of the account the expenditure on wages amounted to £338 18s. 3id., and travelling, office rent. and incidental expenses to EFOL 10s. 4 i., stationery, printing, &c.. to £ 57 10s. IILJ., and law E64 2s. 9d. The consideration of the 2 bye-laws was then taken. Tne close time was left as be- fore, from the 1st September to the 1st February. Captain Bush said he proposed lo divide the district into two, to be called the upper and lower division, the weir at Chester to be the boundary line between the two, and the weekly close time to extend to 48 hours. Fishing in the lower division to cease from midnight on Friday until midnight on Sunday; and in the upper division from Saturday at noon until Monday at noon. This was agreed to. It was aiso agreed that no oerson should use any nets for 2atching silmon, except draft nets and coracle nets of legal con- struction, and that coracle nets should not exceed 16 yards in length. The licence duty for coracle nets for the whole district was tixed at j22 5s., and the rod and licence at £ 1, weekly tickets at 10s., and day tickets at 5s. It was resolved that the several boats and nets should bear, in legible characters, the same number as the licence taken out. The figures on the boat to be painted white, on a dark ground, and not less than six inches deep It was also re- solved that between the expiration of the first hour after sun- set and the first hour after sunrse no person could use any net except a landing net in non-tidal waters. Mr Mosrvn Owen proposed that the meeting of the Board should be held as before at Ruabon, which he considered much more central than Chester. Captain Bush explained the diffi- culties that such a change would entail on manv members of the Board, and as the feeling of the meeting was against him, Mr Owen withdrew his proposition. Mr Shaw then appeared before the Board, and asked why those using coracle nets during the past season had received no voting papers for the election of representative members 'i It was explained to him that they were not entitled to elect reprt- sentatives, as it was only those who fished in public cr common waters who were entitled t,) vote. A vote of thanks to the Chairman brought the meeting to a close.
