It is the belief of Dr. Norman Kerr that 80,000 persons are prematurely killed in the United Kingdom every year by the indirect I inftuenoe of drink—from destitution, accident, violence, or disease brought on by over- indulgence—and that 40,000 persons are yearly killed by the direct influence of alcoholic intemperance. It has been found necessary to make further provision for expenses incurred in the ex- change of light gold coins under the Act passed two years ago. It is estimated that a quarter of a million may be required for this purpose. The Chancellor of the Exchequer will accordingly ask the House to sanction the appropriation of that sum. Mr. Justice Grantham opened the winter assizes for the county of Monmouth on Mon- day at Monmouth. In charging the jury his lordship said that, as it had been suggested the civil business should be taken away from the county, and as there appeared to be civil work to be done at Monmouth Assizes, it might be desirable for them to express their opinion on the subject. Telegrams from Barcelona on Monday re- ported that Mr. Willie, who is under arrest for shooting Don Jose Bofill, is suffering from great nervous excitement, and attributes the crime to the temptation of the devil. He is hovrified at his position, and refuses all food except soup and milk. Owing to bis excited state the magisterial inquiry has been post- poned. At the London Bankruptcy Court on Mon- day the public examination into the transac- tions of the London and General Bank was commenced. The concern was an offshoot of the Liberator Building Society, and the failure was alleged to have resulted from financing the Liberator, from whom, when it was wound up in September, and from copi- panies started by it £ 300,000 was due. Mr. J. Spencer Balfour was one of the original founders of it. Mr. Asquith, M.P., Secretary of State for the Home Department, in introducing the Welsh Suspensory Bill last week said the immediate object the Government had in view was to give an assurance to the Welsh people that the Imperial Parliament would deal without unnecessary delay with the whole question of the Established Church in Wales, in order to place the whole question in the forefront of the living politics of the nation and to make final legislation necessary. The measure, he said, consisted of one clause, providing that in all appointments made after it has been passed into law the emoluments of the oilice shall be dealt with by the new incumbent subject to the pleasure of Parliament. He argued that Parliament had established its constitutional and moral right to deal with Established Churohes by the legislation of 1860, and that the desire of the Welsh people was shown by the character of Welsh representation, which was almost entirely in favour of the disestab- lishment of he Church in Wales. His opinion was that it would do the Church of England in the Welah dioceses no harm, but contrariwise. Sir John Gorst moved, and Sir John Mowbray seconded, an amendment protesting against the Bill as crippling the work and usefulness of the Church during the unknown period which must elapse before disestablishment could be carried. Mr. Stuart Rendel put the case on behalf of WTale?, and declared that they were fighting, not against the Church, but against the Establishment, He said it was intolerable to the Welsh Nonconformists that they should have to endure an Establishment to this day which gave a spiritual monopoly in Wales to another body. The debate occupied the whole night, and amongst the later speakers were Lord Randolph Churchill and Mr. Gladstone. The House eventually divided, with the result—301 members voted for the first read- ing, and 245 members against, the first reading thus bejng carried b" a majority of 50, 31r. Gladstone has given a Civil List pen- sion of jEloO per annum to Dr. Richard Morris, whose services to early English literature are well known.

A Mr. Thomas Smith was awarded CSOO damages against the South Western Railway Company on Saturday for damages received while travelling on their line at Dartford. It is understood that the secretaryship of the proposed Welsh Land Commission will be offered to Professor L'hys, but it is doubtful whether his engagements will enable him to accept it. Mr. Frederick Baines, J.P., aenior proprie- tor of the Leeds Mercury, died at Cannes on Tuesday at the age of 82. Deceased, who had been unwell all the winter, was stopping at Cannes for the benefit of his health. The Queen held the first Drawing Room of the season on Tuesday at Buckingham Palace. The Empress Frederic and all the Hay 1 per- sonages in London, with a large number of the Diplomatic Corps, were present. The Marquess of Salisbury has a rooted objection to accept the freedom of any city on the occasion of a political visit. He has just declined to accept the honour from Lon- donderry. The force and vigour of Lord Handolph Churchill's speech in the House of Commons against the Welsh Church Suspensory Bill created a most favourable impression on the Conservative benches. The seventy-fourth ordinary general half- yearly meeting of the proprietors of the Penarth Harbour, Dock, and Railway was held last week at the Royal Hotel, Cardiff.

Mr. Gladstone was last week given clearly to understand by a deputation of Labour re- presentatives who waited upon him, after the Cabinet Council, with reference to the pra- posed payment of members, that no settle- ment will be acceptable which involves in- vidious distinctions between members and inquisitorial investigations of the private affairs of individuals.
