Alderman Rees read the minutes of this com- mittee, which recommended several accounts to be paia. The accouutant submitted a statement showing that the increase in the water rate of j Is 6d in the £ compared with last year amounted to £100 13 8d, compared with a similar rate for 1887 the increase being only ;3tl \), 8 Alder- man Rees. in moving the adoption of the report, said that the committee also recommended that Mr William Griffith should be asked to collect the water rents and the water bills as he had done before. Councillor W. J. Williams did not understand how they could adopt the recommendation of the committee and adhere to the resolution passed at the time they appointed the assistant clerk. Alderman Rees read the resolution referred to, and it was understood that the present recom- mendation did not interfere with the new appointment. Speaking of Mr William Griffith, Councillor J. R. Pritchard said he was one of the most trust- worthy servants of the corporation. In reply to Councillor Bugbird, who referred to some extraordinary expenditure" in connection with the infectious hospital, the surveyor said that the work was dune in accordance with the specifications for making the roads. He was happy to inform the council that the expenditure for making the roads was considerably under the estimate which he had made (hear, hear). Councillor Gregory asked what was the total cost of the roads. The Surveyor: X70, and my estimate was JE90. The minutes were then agreed to. THE GAB COMMITTKK. At a meeting of this committee, the collector presented a list of persons in arrears for gas rents, and notices were ordered to po issued that unless paid within 14 days proceedings would be taken. The manager repented that the make of sulphate of ammonia for the month was 3G cwt, and the illuminating power of the gas for the same period 20"75 candle light. The Committee recommended that the price of coke be reduced from 12s to 8s 4d per ton, od per cwt in consequence of the large stock of coke on hand. Alderman Rees asked how was it that they < were obliged to reduce the price of coke. He 1 supposed the accumulation was in consequence of charging too much per ton. Councillor Bugbird: No. Alderman Rees It looks very much like it. Councillor Bugbird suild the accumulation was in consequence of the new retort. The coke was good. The only difference was that they did not use so much of it themselves. They used to burn three times as much as they did now, aud had the committee listened to him and Mr Parsons (gas manager), the price would have been lowered a month ago. They would be glad to raise the price when it would become scarce. The minutes were adopted. HIGHWAY COMMITTKK.—THE BEDS AT THI HOSVITAL. This committee reported that they recom- mended that Mr William Jones and Mrs Jones, of Portdinorwic, be appoiuted care-takers of the hospital, at 18s a week, house, water, and coal free; also part of the hospital ground, for the purpose of making a garden for their own use.- Inspector's report book was examined.

The surveyor was directed to call the attention of the London and North-Western Railway Com- pany to the matter.—It wis ordered that a special committee meeting be called to visit the hospital, Constantine-road footpath, and the parapet in Castle-square by the corner of Pool-street.—The committee visited the hospital and gave idetructiaus; that the post-mortem examination table be covered with zinc, and that furniture be provided for one consultation-room and surgery; that the parapet III COltfllltine- road be covered with gravel; that plans of the parapet in Pool-street and Castle-square be sub- mitted and that Pool-street flagging should be four feet wide unless the Vnynol Estate, or the tenants.

The committee find that the time for slaughtering at all the places where Jnquiries have been made is considerably more than the time at present allowed by the corpora- tjon. The committee recommend that in future the time be as follows:—Winter, G a.m. to 8 P.m. instead from <5 a.m. to 6 p.m.; summer, 4 a.m. to 10 p m. instead of from 4 a.on. to 8 p.m. tllat the following extra charge be made for 81llUhtering after the time specified (the s-itne P°be paid to the keeper) One personshiughter- lng, Is per hour; two persons, 9d each per hour; ,ree persous, 7d each per hoar; four persons.

There was no hope in e,6^ unless the council supported him y gout, the notices issu°d apain«t persons wasting water. Councillor J. R. Pritchard asked how long it would be before the hospital would be com- pleted. and if a list had been made out of those who refused to carry out the surveyor's instruc- tions with regard to the water leakages. Councillor Morris could not say when the hospital would be completed, but no doubt the surveyor could. All the walks were finished. The only things wanted were some beds, fur- niture, &c. Councillor John Davies asked if a reply had been received from the school board with regard to certain complaints made about the bovsof Twthill Free School. The Surveyor said that he had received a communication about five minutes before the council meeting commenced. Councillor John Davies then explained that a string of complaints, very highly coloured, were made, and possibly by some interested parties. So far as the board could see there was nothing exceptional in the matter considering the class of boys were of the street arab type. They were getting more disciplined and more amenable to order. The board had appointed a sub-com- mittee to look into the matter, and see what was required to be done (hear, hear). Alderman John Williams asked the chairman of the committee a number of questions. First, with regard to the proposed barrier at Vinegar- hill the furniture for the hospital; the consultation room and surgery at the hospital; whether communication had been received from owners of houses in Castle-square; and with regard to the alteration in the rates for siaughteriag after hours. There was a resolu- tion on the minute book that one shilling per hour per man was to be paid. He held that they had to rescind that before any alteration coald be made. Councillor Morris replied that the barrier was objected to by a gentleman who had come property there. Alderman Williams: Who is he? Councillor Morris: He is Mr li. R. Williams, who has a stable there, and I think that is a reasonable objection. Councillor Morris went on to explain that the committee, who had the advice of Dr Rees, the inedictil officer of health, thought that it would not be wise to provide the whole furniture at OUCA, and that one-half would be sufficient, thereby saving expense because a complete furnishing of the buildihg would cost £ 150 or £ 200. With regard to the consulting rooms, the committee found two rooms nicely done, and on tisking what they were for they were told that they were for the medical man. They thought one would be ample for the surgery, and they left the other for the party looking after the hospital. With regard to Castle-square, complaints were made even at the last council that the owners of pro- perty there knew nothing about it. They also thought it was an eyesore that such a narr ow pwement should-be put up at the whim of one man. Councillor R. R. Williams: One man Councillor Morris Yes. Alderman John Williams was about to rise when the Mayor interfered. Alderman Williams: I want to reply to the irregularity of the proceedings, and I do not think you have a right to atop me. The Mayor: You have a right to move any motion. Alderman Williams: I will wind up with a motion. Alderman Williams went on to say that the council had previously decided that the whole of the furniture should be provided. Now. the committee, upon the recommendation of some new members said it was no use spending money on all the furniture. But why did they not come forward and rescind the previous resolution, thereby proceeding in a regular way? That was all the objection he had. Councillor Morris said they were only anxious to save a little money for the town. The hospital at the present time had cost an enormous sum, and they thought that £ 70 or so would meet the requirements for some time. Alderman Rees: I think when we decided to appoint a caret,iker for the hospital lie was to do work for the corporation. Councillor Morris Quite so. Alderman Rees: In the resolution here you do not say anything about it. Councillor iVlorris: It was so, but was left out. I mig! t as well inform the ifavor that Mrs Jones has written to say that her husband is afraid of undertaking the place, so you will have to give power to the committee to engage the best person they can get. On the motion of Alderman John Jones, seconded by Councillor J. R. Pritchard, this power was delegated to the committee. Councillor Pritchard agreed with the remarks of Mr Morris. Councillor Morris said the committee had taken into consideration the out of half the furniture, comprising seven beds, mattresses, qi'ilts, &c dressing-table, washing stand, and a few chairs for the consultation room and the surgery, and this would come to about £ 65. Councillor Griffith was stiongl/ iu favour of having the complete supply of fourteen iron beds, but not the drapery. After spending over £ 2000 of money on the building he thought it was ridiculous to limit the furniture for the sake of £ 5 or £ 6. The Mayor said tlist with regard to the objec- tion of Alderman J. Williams, it was evident that they could not put the recommendations in force, but they could adopt them. The report was then ad,)pted.d.>rmllu J. Williams and Councillor Griffith voted against it. TOWN IMPROVEM K NTS QPMMITTEK. The Surveyor stated before the committee that lie had received a letter from the Local Government Board giving the names of a number of towns which had adopted the Baths and Washhouses Act.—The Market Hall keeper was directed to enter the address of each stall-holder in his collection book.—Recommended that the opinion of the town clerk be obtained as to the legality of persons selling by auction in Castle- square, Castle Ditch, Hnd the streets; that all the stalls in the market be numbered, and that all stall-holders in future pay rent whether they are present or not.—The Mayor, Councillors T. Bugbird, M. T. Morris. R. R. Williams, and R. Jones were requested to fix upon a design for a lamp and pillar at the junction of Pool- street and Pool-lane, and the estimated cost to be.—The surveyor was directed to write to the chief-constable calling his attention to damages to trees and shrubs by children at the park, and to request, that a constable be allowed occasionally to viqit the park; also to instruct the park keeper to see that the bye-laws for regulating the park are not infringed, a com- plaint having been received from Mr Henry Parry fiat dogs are allowed loose and running after Iii, slieep.-A letter was read from Captain Griffith requesting the committee to take steps to bring off the benefit concert to the militia bitrid for their services at the park last summer. A committee was directed to called to arrange for a concert as requested. Councillor .1. It. Hughes thought that the committee should take into consideration the threat to withdraw the militia from the town. 1111(1 to make any recommendation they thought el proper to head-quarters. Councillor Bugbird said he had called atten- tion to the damage done in the park, and which was never being attended to. lie also begged to call attention to the responsibility incurred with regard to the skating and sliding which went on there. It might, be thought frivilous to anticipate any accident, but it was very possible, because he was told that one day there were about a thousand people on the lake. He i-ugt-;e-ted thrtt sotne planks and rope be kept at linti(I in of art accident. The suggestion was acted upon, and the report adopted. TiTK RAILWAY STATION7. The Mayor read a report with reference to Bn interview with iv!r Wood respecting the new rules at the station. The committee, consisting of the Mayor, Councillors Bugbird and Morris. stated that they represented to Mr Wood the great incouvenience caused both to pvssengers acd tradesmen by the recent restrictions at the iaihvav station. The committee urged the following cli!Lt.res:-( I The relaxing of the preseut rule necessitating platform tickets. This lias been granted, and in future on Saturdays and fair days and on special occasions when he-Ivy passenger traffic is expected, the station wtll be o-eit as before. (2) Facilities for obtaining tickets. Tickets for Jjlanberis and Bangor were issued simultaneously from a small window, thus creating a block and causing a great inconvenience to passengers. Another window has been added C3) Tnts facility of reverting to the old plan of col'e.-ting tickets at Dinas and Ponirhythal.'t. Tlie new system of collecting tickets at the station gates c.-tused great delay and incou- venience to passengers auxious to get to the market as early as possible. To obviate this the old system hts been reverted to. Your com. mittee also called the attention of Mr Wood to the inadequacy and discomfort of the present ■ waiting-room, the want of a larger number of porters, and having in view the great, mass of monoglot Welsh people attending the Carnarvon markets, it was important to elect bilingual officials for those positions where they come in immediate contact with the people, and to all of which Mr Wood promised his best considera- tion. Your committee recommends that the council urges upon the L. and N.W. Railway Company the importance of carrying out the plans for pnlnreing the pfation accommodation (submitted by Mr Smith, C.E., Bangor, to a meeting of the directors of the company); also later plans for improving the entrance b/ making a footpath from the station to Christ Church corner, Councillor Bugbird proposed that a resolution be prepared by the Mayor and two or three other members urging the railway company to carry out the recommendations oi the deputation. Councillor W. J, Williams asked if they had not done this by passing the minutes. The Mayor: We want to pass a special resolution. Councillor Morris had great pleasure in seconding the motion. It was certainly most desirable to have a larger station. They were well aware that at the last fair-day over 10,000 tickets were collected, and there were between 13,000 and 15,000 at the time of the horse show and the Association of the Calvinistic Methodists, and the station was not fit to accommodate such a number of passengers. He would also suggest that there should be a footpath from the corner of Chriftt Church to the station so as to enable the passengers to go along without crossing. Councillor Bugbird said that the suggestion of Councillor Morris had been adopted by the conncil some years ago from plans submitted by Mr It. Ll. Jones, but the company wanted the council to pay a portion of the expense, and that they declined to do so. He wished to say that the committee were very pleased with the reception extended them by Mr Wood, who met them with his usual courtesy. It was then decided that the resolution be drafted by the mayor and the town clerk. THE FEIUtY COMiriTTKS.—ALLK&KD IRREGU- LARITIKS.—A BOAT IN A FOG. Councillor Edward Hughes was appointed chairman of the committee for the ensuing year. it was stated that Mr J. T, Roberts, solicitor, had attended the committee and complained that the steamer, on the 30th of December, had left Talyfoel several minutes before its time (three o'clock). After waiting until five o'clock the steamer, instead of crossing, was shifted to its moorings in the stream on the Anglesey side. In c msequellce the passengers were obliged to cross the sands and to be embarked in another bout, the whole time occupied in crossing being an hour and a half. The committee decided to hold a special meeting, at which Nlr J. T. Roberts find others attended and complained of the irregularities in the working of the ferry. The committee resolved, on the motion of Mr Owen, seconded by Mr Gregory, that proceed- ings be taken against the lessee for breach of contract. Alderman Rees said another thing the lessee ought to do was to have the list of tolls and time-tible, in English and Welsh, placed in con- spicuous places on the steamer, warehouses, and ( waiting-rooms. Nothing of the kind had been done on this side of the Straits for a month, and he (Alderman Rees) moved that notice be taken of this fact. Councillor E, Iward Hughes said that as soon as he had heard tint the notices were not up, be instructed the surveyor to write to Mr Macmillan, who subsequently was seen by the surveyor, but it did not appear from his manner that he was likely to take any notice of it, and, so far, there were no notices up. The Mayor (to the surveyor): What did Mr Macmillan say ? The Surveyor: I met him one day on the street and spoke to him about the notices, and he said he did not care. Alderman John Williams said he was not aware until that afternoon that a meeting of the ferry committee had been held, and he was pleased to find they had come to a decision which, he hoped, would be carried out. They had been threatening over and over again. He crossed over to Anglesey on Friday last and returned at five o'clock in the afternoon. He was at the stage at a quarter to five, and the water was on a level with the beam on the platf, rtu on the stage. At five o'clock, the water was just touchiug the beam, ar.d the steamer was moored in deep water. Then a big boat came for the passengers, 25 in number, and they kept moving backwards and forwards in a fog. They arrived in Carnarvon after being in the boat considerably over half an hour. There was no excuse whatever for the steamer not going over, because there was plenty of water. Councillor Edward Hughes said that on Saturday three gentlemen came over to substantiate the complaints as being buna fide. They had all suffered considerably in crossing lhat even;ng. Mr G. J. Roberts was quite wet, spoilt a coat, and a painter had lost his tools. The Clerk And they all lost their temper. Councillor Griffith: It is very easy to lose one's temper, I think. Councillor Gregory wished to know if any letter had corao frem. Captaia Jcnes resigning his seat on the committee. Councillor Edward Hughes: No; after the last meeting I asked Ciptain Jones to write, and he s-.i(i he would, but so far I have not had anv communication. Councillor Griffith said he could endorse what Dr Williams had said. and he had the dates in the house of his experience in crossing the ferry oil various occasions. The report was then adopted. LOAN. On the motion of Alderman Rees, seconded by Councillor J. R. Hughes, it was resolved to apply to the Local Government Board to sanction a loan of £2500, the s,mö to be raised by bonds of -9100 each, and a further loan of £ 2600 for the water extension. COUNTY AND TOWN COUNCILS KLECTIONS. On the motion of Councillor of J. R. Pritchard, seconded by Councillor J. R. Hughes, it was decided to memorialise in favour of the elt-otioli of members of county and town councils not being held upon the same day. IJOUSKS IN A DISGRACEFUL STATK. The report of Dr Rees (the medical officer of health) was read, in which he stated that some of the houses at Cadnant-laue were in a most disgraceful state, and continued to be most dangerous to the health of the residents. Some of the houses were streaming with water running ilown the walls and were buried in the earth. The state of things was worse by far than any- thing he had ever seen in any other urban dis- trict. He recommended that they should be dealt with under sections 32 and 33 of the Houses of the Working Classes Act. The Town Clerk said that the rural sanitary authority had already taken some steps under this Act. Alderman Rees moved that action be taken upon the report. Councillor Gregory seconded, and said that these houses had been condemned about two or three years ago. Councillor Morris observed that the highway and sanitary committee did not feel disposed to muke any recommendation, but that the report should be read before ttip council. Councillor It. Lloyd Jones moved that no action be taken with regard to these houses until there had been a house to house inspection in the town. Councillor Griffith seconded. It was decided by a large majority to take 1 immediate action.

PRIMROSE LEAGUE BALL AT LLANDUDNO. THF. great event of the week at Llandudno was a ball held at the Pier Pavilion by the members of the Mostyn Habitation Primrose League, of which Lady Augusta Mostyn is the ruling councillor. The ball was under the following distinguished patronage, but only four or feix of those named were present:—Lord and Lady Mostyn, Lord and Lady Penth) n, Lord %nd Lady Hill-Trevor, the Hon. H. Lloyd Mostyn and Mrs Mostyn, Sir John Puleston. Bart., M.P., Sir Richard Williams-Bulkeley, Bart., and Lady Williams-Bulkeley, Hon. W. E. Sack7ille West, Admiral Gough, C.B.. Mrs and Mise Gough, Mr H. J. Ellis Nanney, D.L., Mrs Jones-Williams, Colonel Henry Piatt and Mrs Platt, Major S. | Sand bach and the Misses Sand bach, Major R. C. Dobbs-Ellis and Miss Ellis, Mr E. Brooke and Mrs Brooke, Mr H.Kneeshaw and Mrs Kneeshaw, Captain Arnold and Mrs Arnold, Mr Reginald Le Neve Foster and Mrs Foster, Alderman K. Samuelson and the Misses Samuelson, Mr C. Hartley and Mrs Hartley, Mr J. E. Fincham and Mrs Fincham, and numerous local ladies and gentlemen. Mr D. Gillart, of the Mostyn Estate Office, was chairman of the ball com- mittee, Mr H. Anderson the hun. treasurer, and Mr M. Ryan, 139, Mostyn-street, the hon. secretary. All these gentlemen discharged their duties in a most efficient manner. The chief work was the decorating of the spacious pavilion, for which plenty of willing hands were got and their efforts turned out a greatsuccess. The decoration committee consisted of Mrs Hayden, Bodhyfryd; Mrs and the Misses Glynne Griffith, Mrs Forrester, Mostyn-street; Mrs Jones, Drummond House; Mrs Bickin, South-parade; Miss Scott, Baths Hõtel; Miss Owen, Hendre House; Mr Pountney Smith, Glasfryn; Captain Tudor, Abbsf-roaa; Mr W. G. Mobley, Gloddueth-street. Their arrange- ments were of a most effective character. Alonit the sides of the room were splendid arches wrought with gauze of primrose hue, while a levy had been made i upon the proscenium of the pavilion to imitate rustic places and quaint rooms. The platforms looked very much like the altar eud of a Catholic chapel, with its objects of adoration. in the centre was a portrait of Lord Beaconsfield, with the customary "Peace with honour," while above, on each side, were the splendid banners of the Mestyn and Gloddaeth habitations, bearing the tisuai devices and mottoes. There was a profuse display of ever- greens, from which were suspended variegated lighted glass lamps. Arounil the room were put up the names of Salisbury, Beaconsfield, Balfour, Hartington, as well as another "Peace with honour" device, and "Success to the Primrose League." The gallery also was pro- fusely decorated with evergreens interspersed with tri-colour Roumanian banners. The effect at night, with the pavilion lit up, was most effective, and the committee are to be congratulated upon their artistic success. Dancing was to have begun at 9 p.m., but, as usual, punctuality was not the order of the day on a dancing occasion, though it started ia real earnest iialf-aa-hour later. The band was supplied by Mr John Davies, Llandudno. The following were the stewards :Major Dobbs Eilis, Conway; Mr T. E. Fincham, Deganwy, honorary secretary of the Gloddaeth Habitation; Mr M. M. Williams, Tregirth; Lieutenant T. B. Griffith, Llanrwst; Mr H. Anderson, Bod- hvfr) d; Mr Hassall, Impjrial Hotel; Mr G. Chintrey,' do.; Mr G. T. Lockyer, Clonmel- street; ALr E. W. J ohuson, solicitor; Mr W. D. Henderson, solicitor; Mr U. Gillart, Mr A. E. Daines, Mostyn-street; Mr W. E. Jones. draper, Mostyn-street; Mr Hudson, Heath House Mr W. G. klubiei. There was a very large number of dancers, and the spectators were very numerous. ifowever, among the latter there was a feeling sf disapp untment at the almost entire non-apptarance of any of the announced distinguished pttrons. especially at the fact that noue of the Jostyu fumily were preseut. In other words, t-iis was really a most respectable tradesmen's bal', a goodly number of those, going through tie gyrations being prominent Liberals, who brget politics if they have a chance of iudulgiig in u really good dance. The event came 6ff most successfully. The supper was supplied by Mr Dickin, Promenade Hotel, and the wineS and spirits by Miss Mason, of the Pitrhead Refreshment- rooms. It was one of tin most agreeable and successful balls ever seen it Llandudno.

Mr Pugh's death was totally unexpected, W has caused a great shick to his friends timughout North Wales. On Sunday week he .m announced to preach at Rehoboth Chapel, lldywell, but was unable to fulfil the engagemettowing to a cold. During the week he appeartd to recover, but sank rapidly on Friday. Mr high was a native of Merthyr, and was the son of the Rev Ebenezar Pugh, also a well-kuown aId popular Welsh Calvinistic minister. lIe was ordained so long ago as the year 1851, and successively held pastorates at Newtown, Llafyllin, and Llun- techam.

RAILWAY ACCIDENT AT VAUXHALL. I Shortly before nine o'clock on Monday morning the 7.53 train from Windsor, due at Waterloo at 8.55, ran into a passenger train from Richmond, via Hammersmith, about opposite Barrett's works at Vauxhall, on the London and South-Western Rail- way. The engine of the Windsor train dashed with great force into the rear of the Richmond train, smashing the guard's van: the guard Little was thrown down, and when picked up he was found in- sensible, bleeding from his face and various parts of his body. He was taken to the hospital, but after- wards so far recovered that the medical men allowed him to return homo. About a dozen passengers -complained of injuries. It is stated that the collision was caused by the couplings of the Richmond train parting, leaving the hindennost carriages or the line. The point at which the accident occurred is on a bend in the line some few hundred yards from Vauxhall Station,and the driver of the Windsor train would be able to see nothing but the signals until he came almost within touch of the train which was standing on the same line. All trains, both main and local, were delayed. The end of the guard's van of the Richmond train wai completely shattered, but none of the carriages left the rails. Had the accident occurred a couple of hundred yards further west the results would have been much more serious, as the Windsor train would have been travelling at a good rate of speed. In an .^terview with a representative of the Press Association, Mr. Scotter, general manager of the London and South-Wes- tern Railway, said: "The accident occured in this way. A new Richmond line train from Richmond, due at Waterloo at S.44, was standing outside Vauxhall Station, having been stopped by signal, when it was run into by a train leaving Windsor at 7.50 and due at Vauxhall at 8.49, and Waterloo at 8.55. Whether the accident was the result of the driver of. the Windsor tram overrunning the sign::l, cr whether the signal was given to the driver to come on. I do not know at present. There is a dispute between the two men on the point. Practically no one WAS hurt excepting the guard in the rear van of the Richmond train,and one of the messengers, who was travelling with him. The van was the only part of the train thrown olf the line. The guard was stunned and shaken a little. Every passenger came on to London, and we have had no complaints of injury at Waterloo as fax as I know."

DEATH OFTHE "WESTMINSTER MISER." An eccentric old man,named Field,who was called the Westminster Miser," has been found dead in his bed, at 63, York Street, Westminster. He lived there for many years, and at one time carried on the business of a dyer. But several years ago he gave up his business, and lived the life of a re- cluse. The shop has been shut up, and all the shutters in the front part of the house have been closed since that time, and the old man has lived entirely alone. It was said that he had saved a con- siderable sum of money, and that he was freeholder of the house in which he lived, and also of the shop next door, whidl, too, has been closed for several years. Bot h buildings are in a state of ruin, and nearly all the windows in the upper floors are broken. It seems that Field was in the habit of going for a. walk every morning, and was greeted by chil- dren in the neighbourhood by the cries of But about live days ago Mr. Trott, who kept a store on the opposite side of the road, noticed that he was looking very unwell, and dropped a note into the letter-box at No. G3, offering to give him any assistance he might require. No notice, however, was taken of this letter, and for several days nothing was seen of the recluse. Mr. Trott then wrote a letter to the old man's brother, who came to him on Monday. A ladder was procured from the public-house next door, and by this means they were able to reach the window of the bedroom in which Field slept. He was seen lying on his bed apparently dead. The police were at once communicated with, and the house was entered by forcing open the back door. A doctor who was called in examined the body, and pronounced life to be extinct. Indeed, it is probable that he had been dead some days. Hewas fully dressed, and the bed on which he was lying was in a very untidy condition. In the room there were a chest of drawers, an iron safe, some chairs, and a birdcage, in which were found twe dead In other parts of the house there was found a heterogeneous collection of old furniture, antique china, and other curios, which were covered with dust, and had evidently been in the house for many years. An inquest will bo held.

MURDER AT SEA. A Hindoo, named Bhagwar Jassiwara, was re- manded at Liverpool on Monday, charged with the murder of Captain Peter Lyall, on board the ship Buckingham, on the high seas, while on the voyage from Dundee to New York. Prisoner was the cook, and Captain Lyall struck him for some direlietion of duty. The captain was afterwards found dead in his cabin, with a terrible wound inflicted by a sheath-knife. The captain's wife was on board, and the muder took piacj Oil the anniversary of their wedding.

A BRAVE RAILWAY GUAnD. A few days ago L'ln, passenger on rbe London Chatham, and Lover Railway attempted ti cross the mctas at Bc»-bou:iie Station just before the arrival of an up train, by which she was anxious to travel. Finding the time was insufficient she drew back on the down line to allow the train to come to a standstill. Just then the down boat express came dashing along. The death of the unfortunate woman appeared imminent, when the guard of the up train leapt from his box, and held her (Io n to the stationary train. Thus they stood in the sLwoot way until the express had passed, both holding tight to the foot- boards to avoid being drawn under the wheels of the boat train. The guard's promptitude and heroism were the theme of admiration among all who wit- nessed the exciting scene.

The death is announced of the Rev. J. Elliott, who had been rector oi Randwick, nehr Stroud, since 1819. The deceased was in his hundredth year. Alice Parker, fashionably dressed, was committed to gaol for six months by the Birmingham Stipen- diary on Monday for stabbing her sister Leah, aged 17t. The prisoner was enraged by prosecutrix wear- ing her hat on Sunday morning. •"T»G jjiiuoing (jirl" is the title finally sele-jtea for the now i'lay ef modern manners, written by Mr. Henry Acihur JOIICM, and accepted by Mr. Beeibohin Tree for production early next year u{J the Hay market Theatro.

j HMUJOU 0om3pont?fuce. Brighton, the favourite resort of prosperous Stock Exchange men, is much less full than usual in Janu- ary. It may be that the hard weather nips the legs of the travelling Loudlmer,as he flits to and fro from London-on-Sca. City men favour the belief that the Baring crisis reduced the number of visitors to Brighton, and has caused its houses and apartments jto hang out the signals of distress contained in the words To Let." The gentleman who saw Mr. O'Brien at the Gare de Lyon was Mr. Arnold Morley. I hear on excel- lent authority that he was the bearer of an important 'communication from the Liberal leader to Mr. i O'Brien. He was commissioned to tell Mr. O'Brien i that the merely temporary retirement of Mr. Parnell would not, after all that had occurred, be satisfac- tory, aud that in order to produce active co-operation [between the Liberal and the Nationalist parties Mr. :Parnell's withdrawal from public life must be abso- lute and final. The death of Mr. Charles Kcene—" Carlo" as he was affectionately known to his friends on the Tuuch staff and elsewhere—had for some time been ex-( jpected, and although there was a flicker of hope in jthe early autumn, the winter was mournfully ex- ipected to prove fatal. Highly as this huniorcu- 'artist's powers were esteemed in his own country, jthey were even more so in France,where his luminous! ready touch was regarded as far beyond the I excellence customarily attained in pictorial art of the! kind to which his life was devoted. Owing to his ilong illness, his pictures had been absent from the pages of I'unch for many a month but work so good his will not speedily be forgotten. I There was a hopeful "tory the other day that Lord [Tennyson intended: to present us its a" New Year's Iglft wlth another such a volume poems as he igave us in 1889, when he published his Demeter. jThere has been no confirmation of the rumour, and it is now stated that the Poet Laureate is preparing ihis "Becket" for the stage. Most certainly it is not fitted for representation as it stands. Its tire acts are all too long. But there is the making of a drama in Becket." Compressed, the scenes between the Chancellor-Archbishop and tire King might be made dramatic, and the romance of the Rosamund scenes might be well put upon tlie stage. The tinal |6cene of ail, the assassination'in the Cathedral, would [require only superb acting to make it impressive. [require only superb acting to make it impressive. London is losing its position amongst the most healthy of the great towns of England. It stood Iyory high up on the list; but, on the authority of the Registrar-General, last year receded to the tenth position. It has, however, to be taken into account ;that the population of London and Greater London brought within the table exceeds the combined 'populations of all the other" great towns," and that amongst the great towns are such places as Brighton, Derby, Huddersfield, and Norwich. Nottingham holds the honour of being the most healthy town. 'Brighton, Leicester, Derby, and Huddersfield follow in order. For years past the health of the metro- polis has been steadily improving with its great! expansion but it has now rebounded in the oppo- site direction. The estimated population on the last year of the old census may very possibly have per- mitted some inaccuracy. We shall be better able te i judge on the new census a year or two hence. » Another bulwark of the old order of journalism has gone. The Morning Advertiser for the first time ;in its existence is now sold for a penny, and The T'utea is now the sole upholder of a tradition that ia daily paper to be worth reading must cost more [than the modest copper. No doubt will I gain rather than lose by the change. It has hitherto been only the organ of a class, and is seldom met j with outside bar parlours. Now it will enter into competition with the other penny dailies, and like jthe Morning Tost will probably command a general circulation, and produce a largely increased income \10 gladden the hearts of its proprietors. The peiinv newspaper is now so well accepted a fact that the 'time is probably not far distant when The Times will step down from from its pedestal and cater for the miUion as the Morning Tout and the Morning Adcer- are doing. It has done much under its new management to break with its old traditions, and aj reduction in price is the natural corollary of the! | changes which Mr. Maberly Bell has make. Lord Salisbury has been able to give a prompt contradiction to the alarmist stories telegraphed! from America regarding the Behrings Sea question. lit appears that Mr. Blane has not only not ùe- I dined arbitration, but that a despatch was received from him on the 30th ult., making proposals with reference to the questions to be submitted to arbitra- tion. This is highly satisfactory. There was a be- lief in some quarters that Mr. Blaine, who has a good Ideal of the spread-eagle about him, was disposed jto adopt a high-handed policy. If he had attempted !forcibly to interfere with the Canadian fishermen, ithc British Government would have been compelled Ito give protection, and the risk of collision oonse- jquenily would have been great. 1\:fr. Blaine has fortunately taken a more conciliatory course than was expected, and it is to be hoped that the Behrings Sea question will go to arbitration. Surprise nas been expressed that the Queen should, have continued to take carriage exercise regularly during the cold weather of the last few weeks. There is nothing extraordinary in the fact. Her [Majesty has always loved fresh, cold, dry air. She! can endure cold a great deal better than the majority! of her subjects. Moreover, the weather in the Isle! of Wight has by no means been as severe the weather we have had in the greater part of England—say in London. At the Queen's I island home there has beeu frost, but the air has been dry and just cold enough toi produce in a healthy body the pleasing tingle that is exhilarating. It has been tempered by bright sunshine. Under these circumstances her Majestv'e (carriage exercise is most enjoyable, and is leaving! her in the best of health and spirits. There is nO" doubt that her Majesty's lovcj. of fresh air and her! oft indulgence in outdoor exercise has contributed to the general good health she enjoys, and has pro- longed the valued life which wc all hope will still Icuger be spared for the service of the State General Booth, speaking at Tottenham, put his! jfoot down emphatically with regard to the' manage- ment- ;md financing of his "Darkest England" scheme. In the first place he intended, he said, to! work it out in his own way. He would have no in- spoetor, commissioner, or anyone else to control his' actions or interfere with him. If he were to have! jany master i.i this business, it should be an Earl, or !a Duke, or the Prince of Wales but at present he) im,mt to be the General of this movement, as he had! ibeen of the Salvation Army. Then as to finance he! pledged himself to publish balance-sheets, so that; je.ieli man could trace his own £5, see where it went! to and what had been done with it, and that not a" fa.thing had been spent to build a barracks or to- m iiutain a Salvation Army officer. He could He; hnnself down to uo this by a trust-deed enrolled in Chancery, so that if he departed from it any man wo aid have his remedy. That deed was being pre-1 'pared. Meanwhile there was no truth in the import' jthat he had taken a farm in Essex, or that he was on: itb, high road to bjuikruptey. But there was no diffi-j culy about getting a farm millions of acres beyond sea had boon offered to him. w I am afraid that matters in the Post Office are not! ;in the pleasantest and most prosperous way. Hr. Raikes does not appear to have the faculty of en- dowing his lieutenants with a concilitory spirit. In jthe lower grades, from the letter carriers to the ■gentlemen ix-hiud the counters, we get abundant courtesy amid much worryandmanitekl provocations' jto irritation. I cannot but think that if the Savino-s Bank clerks locked out on Saturday had been dealt jwith Li a Madly and courteous manner this -wretched1 ■ emeute would not have occurred. The worst of it is, j however, that much as one may detest the asrgrava-j Iting irritations of the higher officials, who"seemed1 j determined to prove that, they at all events are not civil servants, we cannot excuse the insubordination i the clerks. To begin with, their objection to work overtime (for which they would bo paid) is ut- itovly indefensible. I fancy that in a private estab-; dichment the clerk who doclmert, on an emergency to add two hours' work to his seven houis day would find himself in the street with a surprising degree of' 'celerity. Even if the grievance was just the clerks had uo right to disobey orders. They should have stayed j :thcir two hours and complained afterwards.

The recognition of the Republic of the United States of Brazil by the German Emperor has been! gazetted in Berlin. A< the five Levees which the Prince of Wales held at ;3t.
