THE BARROW IRON TRADE. BARROW. Monday.—'There is a steady and brisk trade in all description of hematite pig iron. The demand is still well maintained, but the business doing is not so great as might be expected, probably necause makers are so very fully sold forward. Prices show no variation, and are still quoted at 455 6d for Bessemer in parcels of mixed numbers. Business has, however, been generally done at 44s 3d nett, for stocks are com- paratively small, but deliveries are very-barely main- tained. Steel makers experience a good demand for rails and for other goods, but the trade in steel is ex- ceptionally strong, and briskness is guaranteed for months to come. Prices are steady at about 24 4s per ton. Shipiinildera are very quiet, and engineers as well. Iron ore steady.

CARDIFF EXCHANGE. BUTE DOCKS, MONDAY EVENING. 'Change to-day opened dull, and little business was done by closing time. The members one and all appeared to be carried away with the prospects of Wednesday's holiday, for the chief topic of conversation was the approaching festivities and the influence which the new Roath Dock would have upcn the future trade of the port. With regard to the latter, however, it was generally agreed that if the new Roatb Dock had been opened half a dozen years ago there w-mld have been little necessity for the new dock now being constructed at Barry. Extreme quietness had characterised our loca freight market to-day, and chartering has been '5 11 almost a dead letter. Freights for the higher Mediterranean, in consequence of the small supply of tonnage offering for employment, closed very firm, with an upward tendency, and rates for this directijn, more especially Italian and Sicillian ports, are expected to advance considerably. Spanish freights still. keep dull, and the same may be said of West Indies and States. Baltic quiet. Coasting steady. Eastern unchanged. The following include the latest operations:- S ibles, 6fcs (Clytlia), Swansea loading Gibral- tar, 7s (G. E. Wood) Genoa, 9s 6d, 300 delivery (Scots Greys); Savona, 9s 6d, (300 delivery (Newminster) Lisbon, 5s 3d, Royal Mail terms (Benayo) Sail :—Rates for this class of tonnage rule very weak, the demand stiil being quite in- adequate to the supply. In consequence no im- provement in Brazil and South American port freights is therefore anticipated. West coast rates are slightly firmer. Coasting unchanged. Ore market inactive, but f:r inquiry exists for for- ward tonnage, Bilbao loading, to ports in this channel. Little or nothing is offer- ing at present from Huelva. Carthagena demand is qniet, and rates unchanged. London advices report Black Sea and Danube home markets unchanged. The tonnage demand for autumn loading from this direction continues stroDg, and a large amount of business for steam has been recently effected. Cable advices from the States report American home market very quiet. There is only a small demand for steam, and at lower rates than those recently obtained. Bombay advices state Indian home freights continue very dull, only nominul rates being quoted at present from both Bombay and Kurrachee. Madras rates rule quiet. Persian Gulf rates unchanged.

LONDON BETTING. MONDAY NIGHT. At the commencement of business to-day there was evidently favouritism for Prince Rudolph for the Ebor Handicap. Backers began by taking 5 to 2, whereupon 3 to 1 was offered bar one, the next transaction being 9 to 4 r>gainst the favourite, and finally 2 to 1 was taken to & large sum. Oliver Twist, however, was backed for some money at 3 to 1. King Monmouth would have been well suppoftoed had b to 1 been procurable. Sor- rento receded from 7 to 1 to 8 to 1, the latter oddi having been booked to Agitator, and 10 to I was taken about Givendale. A lot of money was in the market for Merry Hampton at 3 to 1. while 9 to 2 was taken kindly and asked for about Kiridspord. whose stable companion s (Timothy and Whistle Jacket) left off friendless at 20 to 1 and 40 to 1 respectively, while Kiiwarlin and Carra-co were unchanged. Savile was befriended at 25 to 1 to win upwards of £ 3,000, and 1,000 to 30 was offered against Fandango. Prices EBOR HANDICAP. (One mile and a halt.

CRICKET. THE CLIFTON WEEK.—GLOUCESTERSHIRE v. MIDDLESEX. The first match of the, annual Clifton week com- menced on the College ground yesterday, when, attracted by the delightful summer weather and tb" prosDect of some capital cricket, a large company assembled. Both counties had strong elevens, although neither team was quite rei resentative, Buckland and Lucas being absent from Middlesex and Woof and Brain from the home county. Nepean, the Oxford slow bowler, is making a first appearance for the Metropolitan side. W. G. Grace, who has been very unlucky in losing the toss this season, for once secured the choice of batting, and going in tirst the;Gloucester- shire eleven were at the wickets from a quarter-past twelve nntil ten minutes to five. The cricket proved decidedly interesting, for the aspect of the innings changed several times. The first stand of note was when Gilbert Grace and Pullen—getting together at 44, when two wickets had fallen-put on 53 runs together. Sub- sequently, five batsmen were out for 128; but Radcliffe and Painter offered a determined opposition, and added 97, the former being out sixth at 225. Three more wickets fell for the addition of 7 runs, and then the last pair hit up 25 more. The best batting of the day was shown by Radcliffe^ Who hit ten 4*s, eight 3's, and three 2's in his brillian; and faultless 77. He was in altogether while 128 runs were made-an hour and twenty-tive minutes. W. G. Grace—except for an easy chance in the long-field when he had got 18—also batted extremely well, scoring 63 out of 97. His figures were eight 4's, four 3's, and a 2. Nepean bothered tbe bats- man considerably, and took four wickets but Burton had the best analysis. Middlesex had three-quarters of in hour's batting, and scored 56 -without losing a wicket.

Yesterday at Leyton a moderate company witnessed the opening day's play in the return match between these counties. Essex gave a trial to Bray, a slow bowler, who appeared for Kent a few years ago. Derby- shire were fortunate in winning the toss, and were batting three hours and a quarter, scoring 203. David- son and Chatterton both played capital cricket, the former hitting three 4's, five 3's, and seven 2's and Chatterton two 5's, six 4's, a 3 and five 2's. Their part- nership for the fourth wicket produced 110 runs. Mr Bishop, when he went on at the opposite end to that from which he had started at 160, met with immense success, and finished off the innings in a sensational style, taking six wickets in nine overs for eleven runs. Altogether be obtained seven for 62. Essex had 85 minute-i' botting, and fared very badly,losing six wickets for 84 runs, so that, with four wickets to go down, 40 runs are wanted to save a follow on.

YORKSHIRE v. NOTTS. The Yorkshire and Notts match is always one of the most attractive fixtures on the Yorkshire programme, and yesterday, as the weather was beautifully fine, close upon 9.000 spectators visited the Bramall-lane Ground, Sheffield, the actual number that paid for admission at the gates being 7,957. There was one alteration in the Notts team which mat defeat at the bands of Lancashire last Saturday, A. Price takinz the place of Butler. In the Yorkshire eleven a trial was given to Mr J. Wilson, the Job howler, who had proved so successful against Warwickshire and Cheshire. The wicket, although a trifia slow at start- ing, played exceedingly well, and Notts, who had the good fortune to win the toss, remaintd in for the whole of the day and scored 241. The early play gave no promise of a long score, a two of the best batsmen on the side were ont when only one run ,had been made. Afterwards, however, everything wenr well with the visiting county. Arthur Sbrews. Oury played with all his well-known care and judg- ment, and was caught at the wicket a.t 165, when he looked like getting another hundred. Altogether he was bitting for three hours and a quarter without Giving a chance, and the tigur -s of hi* 75 were nine 4's, four 3's, three 2's, and twenty-one singles. Ho received excellent support from Barnes, Mr Daft, and Flowers. The longest stand of the day was made by Shrewsbury and Mr Daft, who put on 71 runs for the fourth wicket. Late in the innings Attewell hit well, and Mr Wilson's lobs met with great success. With few ex. ceptions the Yorkshire fielding was smart and accurate, only one catch being miss ll during the day.

He was ably aided by S. C. Ne Fothersill, and S. M. Woods. The innings closed^ ,35 for 315, the highest total Somerset has made t\i: season.

Kent brought a strong team to Kennington Oval yesterday to play the return match with Surrey, and bad decidedly the best of the opening day's cricket. Winning the toss, the home county, who depended on the same eleven as beat Yorkshire so decisively last week, went in at five minutes past twelve upon a dull wicket, and were all out at ten minutes past four for the p)or total of 136. It was not that there was any absolute breakdown in the batting, but no one on the side played Wootton's bowl- ing really well. Maurice Reed and his captain put on 36 runs for the first wicket, while later on Abel and Henderson both batted with care for their respec- tive scores. Wootton's performance in taking seven wickets for 57 runs was probably the best thing of the day. The Kent eleven fielded admirably, and on going in to bat Mr Bashleigh and Frank Hgarne raised the score to 33 before they were parted. Afterwards Messrs Rashleigh and Patterson played so well that no other wicket fell before the call of time, when the visitors, with nine wickets to fall, were within 49 runs of their opponents. The weather was very pleasant, and a large crowd of people witnessed the fine cricket of the Kent eleven. Score;- SCRBEY. 1st Innings. 2nd Innings. M.

ASSAULTING A CARDIFF CONSTABLE At the Cardiff police-court, on Monday- before Mr T. W. Lewis (stipendiary)—John Collins (21) was brought up on a warrant charged with assaulting P.C. Gough, in Helen- street, Roath, on the 26th June last.— The complainant stated that on the day in question be saw the defendant and six others playing upon the pavement, and as he was oassing one put out bis foot and tripped him, and whilst on the ground he received a kick on the jaw. He took hold of the prisoner, and was then again knocked down and kicked until he could not see. He was suffering at the tim., from rheumatism, and the prisoner and his companions made their escape. The prisoner admitted having pushed the coustable but denied having kicked him.—Prisoner was sent to gaol for two months with hard labour.

SHOCKING FATALITY AT MILFORD HAVEN. A shocking accident occurred on Monday morning tu a man known by the name of Brassey, employed on the Milford Dock Works. He was engaged with otbera working at or near a steam crane, on the top of the wall, Hakin side. The crane was lifting buckets filled with the debris in the bottom of the dock near the base of the wall, and had just tipped one, and was in the act of swinging to again descend, when the bucket struck the deceased, and he fell over into the dock, a distance of between 50 and 60 feet. Death was instantaneous.

THE WHITCHURCH CRUELTY CASE. AN INHUMAN MOTHgR IMPRISONED FOR SIX WEEKS. At Llandaff petty sessions, on Monday—before Mr C. H. Williams (Roath Court) and Mr Evan Lewis—Elizabeth Fowler was charged oil remand with assaulting her child, with intent to do it grievous bodily harm, at Whitchurch, on the 6th inst. Mr T. Phillips (C.ftdiff) appeared for the defence. The evidence of Edwin Rowland, previously taken before a justice of the peace at the office of Mr Corbett, magistrates' clerk, was first read over. While at work in a field adjoining the new road he observed defendant with her child, a little boy aged two and a half years. The latter was screaming, and this attracted witness's atten- tion. Defendant was holding the child by the band land, swinging it rouud, she dashed it against the footpath. She then put her hand on the child's mouth, and kept it there for about a minute. Afterwards the child got up and ran away. Witness und his brother-in-law, Edward Johnson, who was also looking on, remonstrated with defendant on her conduct, and she then said Can't I do what I like with my own child ?'' Subsequently she walked away witii the child, and presently witness again heard it crying. He thereupon followed the woman, and took the child from her, and sent for a policeman. The child was now staying at his brother,in.la.w's house. Edward Johnson, labourer, brother-in-law of the last witness, residing at Factory-square, Whitchurch, deposed to seeing the child beiner pushed about by its mother. He interfered, but was only met with abuse. P.C. StinFiild., Whitchurch, stated that on the 6th inst. he was called to the scene by the two last witnesses, and cn hearing what they had to say took prisoner into custody. When charged at the police station, she said she was not going to keep any l; man's leavings. She also said she was married. Witness had since found she had been cohabiting with a pedler named John Johns, in Love-lane, Caidiff. At this point the magistrates' clerk interposing said the offence appeared to be one of common assault, and if prisoner liked the charge would be so altered. Prisoner assenting to this course being adopted, Mr Phillips, on her behalf, asked the bench to dismiss the case on the ground that there really was no evidence of intention of violence. The Chairman, in announcing the decision of the bench, said the case did not appear to be so serious as it at first appeared, but they thought prisoner had behaved very badly and very in- humanely to her child, and so they had decided to send her to prison for six weeks.

AMUSEMENTS- AT CARDIFF. THEATRE ROYAL, CARDIFF. "First Class," the piece which is paying a return visit to the theatre this week, is another of those specimens of dramatic art which rely for success on the successful interposition of the policeman before the curtain falls. It is a pity that the public do not see things in this light. Thn pit and gallery like a good crime, and Mr F. A. Seudarnore has done his best to provide plenty of variety in this respect. It is quite impossible to criticize this class of drama from the serious point of view, and we are bound to admit that its admirers would not be influenced by the criticism if we did. The best that can be said of First Class is that it is no worse tban anything else we have seen for the last two months except" Ham:, the Boatman" and "The Two Orphans," and, good or bad, it certainly draws. Mr F. A. Scudamore impersonates the hero as such heroes should be impersonated—noisily, forcibly, and strikingly-the last in more censes than one. Miss Lytton, as the horribly ill-treated Peggy, plays in scenes that ought never to be presented on the stage with such hideous realism, and plays with a force and a "power stamped with the true mark of talent. Mr James scores in a small pait, and is worthy of better work. In fact, no fault can be found with the cast, and when fault is found with the piece, its author has the satisfac- tion of knowing that it .aws the money in, and so attains the highest aim of most modern dramatic work.

THE WEATHER AND THE CROPS. [FROM MONDAYS ''MARK-LANK KXPBESS."] There has been, during the past week, an in- termittent rainfall, which has put a check upon the thrashing and delivery of new wheats, and consequently the downward course of prices has been arrested. The publication of the Govern- ment statement as to the acreage on which the crops of 1887 stand has been the chief subject of interest, and various estimates of the output of the wheat crop have already been made, but the Mark Lane Express fears they are too high. There have been some new samples of barley shown, which appear to vary almost as widely as do those of wheat. For the verv finest over 40s has been paid, but quotations are not yet possible. The rainfall may be assumed to have had a beneficial influence on barleys stand. ing in sheaf. New oats are not yet quotable in the English market. Tares would seem to be more abundant than was supposed. The trade for foreign wheats off stands in London has been confined to the hand-to-mouth requirements of the millers, and has not developed any fresh feature since Monday last. Foreign flour has met a dragging sale at unchanged values.

CATHOLIC TEMPERANCE FETE AT THE CRYSTAL PALACE. The annual festival of the Catholic Total Abstinence League of the Cross, of which Car- dinal Manning is president, was held on Monday at the Crystal Palace, some 25,000 members from all parts of the country attending. This temper- ance organisation, which was established by Cardinal Manning in 1870, has at present in the metropolis aoout 45 branches, making with those in various parts of the United Kingdom about 100 branches. In each of these is enrolled an average of 300 members, exclusive of children, who swell the number to twice that figure. It is stated that nearly the whole of the members of the league are Irish. After a meeting in the theatre of the palace, which was addressed by Cardinal Manning and a number of priests, the great event of the day took place-namely, the march past the Cardinal. The procession in- cluded the Cardinal's Guards," and it is esti- mated that nearly 15,000 persons took part in the de uonstration. )

THE ANTI-TITJ^E AGITATION. MEETING AT DENBIGH. A conference, convened by Mr Gee, leader of the anti-tithis agitation, has been held at Denbigh, to consider the future course the agitation should take. There was a large and influential attend- ance, and, it is generally understood, that Welsh tenant farmers will be advised to resist payment of tithes to the uttermost, where the demands for a substantial remission are refused.

Theso corrective, purifying, and gentle aperient pills are the best remedy for nil defective action of the digestive organs. They augment the appeti then tiie stomach, correct biliousness, and carry off all that is noxious from the system. Holloway's Pills are com- posed of rare balsams, unmixed with baser matter, and on that account are peculiarly well adapted for tho young, delicate, and aged. As this priceless medicine has gained fame in the past, so will it preserve it in the future by its renovating and invigorating qualities, and the impossibility of its doing barm.

THE CASE OF MIRIAM JONES. BY THE REV H. R. HAWEIS. I have read with wonder your statement, says the Rev H. R. Haweis in the rail Mall Gazette, that Sir W. Field, an elderly judge (gentleman you call him), has passed a sentence of eight years' penal servitude on Miriam Jones, a girl of sixteen, who, unable any longer to support her baby, and unwilling to allow it to starve or csme to harm, seems to have dropped it down pit by the roadside, in the hope, as her counsel stated in court, that its cries might attract the attention of some kind-hearted person—which they very naturally appear to have done. I suppose the learned judge, had he lived under the Pharaohs, would have given the mother of Moses at least eight years, for she seems to have acted in a very similar manner when she put her own baby on the Nile waters, and from similar motive. and with even more distinguished success (Exodus ii.) Miriam was not condemned by judge and jury for allowing herself to he seduced, not even for deserting her baby when no longer able to keep it, but of attempting to murder it I am far away at this moment from newspapers and reference books, but I think poor Miriam, who has certainly already suflered bitterly enougii for her fault, may ba of good courage. A decent public will not leave her where she is. A similar case happened in London some years ago. A girl, Mary Powell, who laid her child in a thoroughfare under circumstances almost identical with all those of Miriam Jtnc, with, of course, precisely the same result, was tried and condemned for attempt to murder I think I may say I was fortunate enougii on that occasion (not in the columns of the Pall Mall Gazette) to write the article in consequence of which questions were put in the House—only ju>;t in time—to another Home Secretary (not Mr Matthews) which led to a great modification of Mary PowelL: sentence. Ihave not at hand the exact facts to refer to. No one wishes to encourage young women to think lightly of miternity but no one in the their senses can call the tender maternal instinct which leads a poor girl who has been betrayed to do the best she can for the life of her infant. An attempt to murder! No not even when, with hazy memones of her Sunday-school Bible reading, she adopts the sort of extreme method which was efficacious in saving the life of the infant Moses. Miriam, aged sixteen—eight years' penal servi- tude—the mau who refused to support his own child, and who drove Miriam to despair—nothing? Is that so? Nonsense. Tho mere statement amounts to a reductio ad absurdvm. Are we Christians or are we devils? Those of us, I mean, who are going to stand by quietly and see this thing done. Far better hang poor Miriam than condemn this weak but tender-hearted child to penal servitude, which means hopeless degrada- tion and misery in this life at all events. What- ever view He takes who said to a more grievous offender than Miriam, "Go and sin no more," judge and jury, and we Christian people who go to church and chapel shall be mere devils to Miriam in this life present—if she is to be thrust through the nameless outrages of penal servitude at the -.ge of gixteen. Common sense !-c(,minoii sense good Christian folk, high and low-I won't say religion, or even humanity—but common sense is what is wanted. Any district visitor—I won't say any mother or minister of relig-ion-but any man or woman with a head (let alone the heart) must see that neither the gallows nor the convict's badge is good and just for the wretched little mother Miriam, but a reformatory. 0 Judgo Field, seventv-five years old, don't you think a young girl may grow better and wiser after the age of sixteen, when she has been already so grievously punished, withoui being put through the liell and blasphemy of your eight years of penal servitude—in a Chris- tian iand of course? [The counsel for the prosecution, says the Pall Mall, writes us to say that the pit was not six but fifty-tour feet deep. This, however, is denied by the defence. The man who drew the plans of the mine was not called in court, and the judge remarked that the evidence as to the workings was confused and unsatisfactory. One thing is certain, and that is that Miriam Jones did not know how deep the hole was, and that the jurors were horrified by the sentence.—Ei>.] TO THE EDITOR. Silt,-A friend of mine has received a letter from Sir E. J. Reed stating that, in compliance with a wish expressed by correspondents, he has had an interview with the Home Secretary respecting the case of Miriam Jones and, as was to be expected, the hon. member for Cardiff promises to continue to do all he can in the matter until the claims of justice and the pleas for mercy have been carefully and fully considered. Shonl i not the members of our churches and chapels take action, as auch, by sanding peti- tions from their several places of worship? It is also to be hoped that the gentlemen of the jury who tried the case, and who so strongly recommended the deserted and demented girl to mercy, will address the Home Secretary col- lectively, as I understand some of them have already doue individually. Allow me to saggest further, especially as Parliament has taken up the case, that all petitions should be forwarded with the least possible delay. This evening I have posted one influentially signed, and measuring upwards of 16ft in length and I expect that another, likewise from Cardiff, will follow within the next few days,—I am, &c., JOHN HAINES. 109, Cowbridge-road, Canton, August 22, 1887.

LIBERAL MEETING AT LLAN- DRINDOD. A Liberal meeting was held at the above place on Saturday night last. The chair was taken by Mr D. P. Williams, J.P., Llanberis. There was a large attendance, the hall being crowded some time before the h,ur at which the meeting was announced to commence.—The Rev I. Williams, Llandrindod, proposed, and Mr D. Owen, Bangor, seconded the first resolution, viz. :— That this meeting of inhabitants and visitors rejoices at the recent awakening of the Welsh people to their special wants, and pledges itself to make every legiti- mate effort towards securing separate legislation for the principality. The resolution was supported by Mr Ellis J. Gpiffitb, Anglesea, and was carried unanimously. —The second resolution, to the effect that dis- establishment and intermediate education are subjects demanding immediate legislation, was proposed by Mr O. Isgoed Jones, Llanrwst, seconded by Rev R. E. Morris, Londop, and carried. The proceedings throughout were marked by great euthusiasm, and all references to the national aspirations of Wales were received with evident sympathy.

SILVER ON THE BKAIN.—Senator Fair, one of the richest men in the Senate of the United States, being worth over one hundred millions of dollars, is a man of marked peculiarities. He is largely interested in silver mining, and in more senses than one may be said to have "silver on the brain, for about the com- mencement of his successful career, he received a blow, which fractured his kull and was only saved from death by the operation of trepanning-that is to say, a plate of silver was inserted in the top of his head. He is still a young man, and though his hair is not "silvered," his skull is thus differing from many men and women, who have no silver on their brain, but a large supply of it in their hair. People turn gray much earlier in life than formerly. Such being the case, it is surprising that they do not take better care of it. The hair is a vegetable, and may be cultivated, its growth strengthened, and its texture improved by care, attention, and the application of the proper fertilising properties. That this is the case has been amply demonstrated, and, therefore, no one need have thin or gray hair, or a coarse and wiry stubble, provided theywill use the proper care. The preparation most in vogue for this purpose. is un doubiedly Mrs 5. A. Alleu's World's Hair Restorer, which never fails of arresting the falling out of the hair, or restoring gray hair to its original color, strength and glossy luxuriance. It is besides the most delicate and delightful hair dressing in the world; It may be purchased of any chemist or perfumer, in any town or city. bl22 129g7 BEST Welsh Knitting Yams are made from Fure Wool ouly by Parry and Rocke, Swansea. 2963

DREADFUL FATE OF A LUNATIC. A MYSTERIOUS CASE OF BURNING. At an inquest held by the Middlesex coroner at the Whitecbapel Infirmary on the body of Bessie Wilkes, aged 49, some remarkable facts were elicited. It appeared that the deceased was taken to the infirmary suffering from rheumatism and symptoms of mental aberration. She re- mained in the general ward until August 15th, when melancholia manifested itself, and she was removed to the lunatic ward. The deceased was exceedingly restless, constantly pacing up and down the ward, falling upon her knees and pray- ing. It was not suspected, however, that she had any intention of committing suicide, and she was not specially watched. While the nurse was attending to some of the other lunatics, however, she was informed that smoke was entering the ward, and on looking round missed the deceased. Search was instantly made, and the poor woman was found sitting in the lavatory quite dead. She was fearfully burned, and examination showed that death had been caused by lire. No matches or candles were found, and as there was no gas in the place it was impossible to find out how the deceased's clothing had become ignited. The jury returned an open verdict, and requested the official solicitor to bring the matter before the board of guardians. Many of the jurors expressed an opinion that there had been great want of care on the part of the authorities.

DESPERATE MURDER IN DUBLIN. A desperate murder is reported from one of the Worst localities in Dublin..V man named John Walsh, labourer, was accosted by John Collins, who was released only a few months ago after a term of penal servitude for highway robbery, and money was demanded of him. Walsh refused, and was instantly assaulted by Collins, who struck him on tho face, knocked him down, and kicked him repeatedly, causing injury to the spinal cord. Michael Collins, a brother of John came to his assistance, and Anno Collins, their' mother, took off her boor, and struck Walsh with it on the forehead, causing blood to come. Walsh was conveyed to the Meath Hospital, where he died soon afterwards. John Collius and his mother were arrested and lodged in the police- station, and on Monday were remanded on the capital charge.

THE SOUTHWARK SENSA- TION. ELUCIDATION OF THE MYSTERY. The result of the exhaustive inquiries made by the police authorities in connection with the find- ing of the human remains in a jar buried in West-square, Southwark, a tew days since, shows that about five years ago a medical student occu- pied apartments in one of the houses in West- square, where he studied. His landlady, who still lives in the same house, has a distinct recol- lection of the student handing a jar to the then keeper and gardener (since deceased) to bury, at the same time remunerating him for his trouble. She also identifies the jar found as the one in question. The Southwark coroner has, in conse- quence, ordered the remains to be inteired.

ANOTHER SHROPSHIRE TRAGEDY. ATTEMPTED MURDER AND SUICIDE. A distressing case of attempted murder and suicide occurred on Sunday at St. George's, near Shifnal. At four o'clock in the morning, Sarah Wooley, wife of a miner, aged 60, rushed out of her cottage, followed by her husband carrying an open clasp knife. The neighbours, upon coming on the scene, found both lying in the road with their throats cut. Very little hope is entertained ot the recovery of either. Wooley bad been out of work for some time, and had been depressed. The cottage interior bore marks of a fearful struggle.

THE BURNING OF THE CITY OF MONTREAL. DEATH OF ONE OF THE RESCUED CREW. The Inman steamer, City of Chicago, which arrived at Queeustown, on Monday, reports having seen nothing whatever of the missing boat of the City of Montreal. John Collet, one of the rescued steerage pas- sengers of the City of Montreal, who landed at Queenstown last Friday, died on Monday in the hospital from congestion of the lungs caused by exposure.

LANGWORTHY'S BANKRUPTCY. At the London Bankruptcy Court on Monday, application was made on behalf of Mr Edward Martin Langworthy, to annul his bankruptcy. Mr Brandon said the debtor was pres-nt, and wished to tender an apology for the contempt of court, of which he had been guilty. The order to pay alimony to his wife never reached Mr Langworthy, who was travelling, and he did not know the petition in bankruptcy necessitated his return. The registrar intimated that the bankrupt's contempt was purged. The question of annulling the bankruptcy was adjourned.

GRAVE CHARGES AGAINST A CLERGYMAN. ALLEGED EXTENSIVE FORGERIES. At the Belfast police-court, on Monday, the Kuv. Thomas Fulleiton, clergyman of the Irish Episcopal Church, was committed for trial charged with forging two cheques, one on the Northern Bank, Belfast, for £370, and one on the Belfast Banking Company, for J6500. Evidenco of the detective who arrested the accused in London, showed that when taken into custody he had fac similes of the signatures cf Lord Salisbury, Lord Iddesleigh, the Arch- bishop of Dublin, Lord Crichton, and others.

STEALING FROM AN AUTOMATIC SWEETMEAT IMACHINE. Four boys were charged at Liverpool cn Mon- day for stealing from the automatic sweatmeat machines at the Exchange Railway Station. The youngsters, instead of putting pennies into the machines, put the weight of the coin in lead, and so caused the liberation of packets of confectionery, which they appropriated. The bench regretted such temptations were placed in the way of boys, and on their promising not to again offend they were liberated.

A FEUD ENDED. Henry McGratton, residing in Buchanan-street, Coatbridge, was arrested on Monday, charged with the manslaughter of Edward Lnnie, an iron roller, by striking him on the face last Monday, and causing concussion of the brain. An old feud, it is said, existed between the men.

I IMPUDENT FRAUDS IN THE RHONDDA. THE SHAM ROYAL ENGINEER AGAIN. AN EPICURE AND HIS BREAKFAST. At Ystrad police-court on Monday—before Mr T. P. Jenkins and Dr. Jones—Henry Rogers, a young man fairly well dressed, a cobbler by trade, was brought up on remand charged with obtaining food under false pretences. It may be remembered that some while ago prisoner was arrested for a similar offence. He had then duped a number of people in the eastern end of the county by telling them that he was a Royal Engineer ordered to make a survey. A good deal of interest was felt in the proceedings, and prisoner demeaned himself with all his old cool nonchalance. In the first case Ann Rees, wife of Thomas Rees, signalman on the Taff Vale Railway, Trealaw, was the prosecutrix. She said that the prisoner came to her house on the after- noon of August 2nd. and told her be was a sur- veyor in the employ of the Pontypridri and Rhondda Valley Tramway Company. He asked her, Can you let me and my friend have a bedroom and a sitting room ? My friend is coming up by the last train." Prosecutrix consented provided he would sottle with her on the morrow. Prisoner then entered the house, remained till 7 p.m., went out, and returned in half an hour. Sbe inquired whether it was worth her while preparing the bed for him and the friend under the circumstances, Prisoner answered, "Oh, yes; prepare the bed. My friend and I will come straight from the last train, and bring our iuggage with us." He went out afterwards, having eaten two meals, and she saw no more of him. Prosecutrix, whilst prisoner was at the house, called a neighbour named Jenkins to see him. Prisoner reasserted bis official connection with the company to this man again, and Jenkins, think- ing that so influential a personage as the tramway surveyor might be useful, told prisoner that he should much like to have a job on the tramway. Prisoner replied, "Well, we want a man, and if you like you can come with us to carty the chain. I would not mind, at all events, trying you for a week." Jenkins, prisoner learnt, had been unwell for some time. Prisoner thoughtfully added, "Perhaps the job may do you good." Jenkins asked, "What wages would you give ?" Prisoner at once answered, "I will get you a job at £1 a week to start." Jenkins delightedly rejoined that he would try the job. Prisoner was afterwards arrested. The prosecutrix in the second chargo was Catherine Morgan, Pandy, coffee tavern-keeper. Prisoner had gone there again, according to prose- cutrix, at about ten o'clock at night, and repre- sented that he was the tramway surveyor, and asked for a bedroom and sitting-room. Prosecu- trix provided him with a bed, and said that she would arrangeabout the sitting-room nextmorning. At supper time prisoner chatted about the tram- way with prosecutrix's husband, and told the latter, in reply to inquiry, that the tramway was going up the valley as far as the Bute Hotel, Treherbert. In confirmation of this statement prisoner produced a large piece of paper from his pocket, which he evidently desired the victim of his misstatements to believe a map. Prisoner next revived the "chain" figment, and asked Mr Morgan if he knew of anyone who would carry this article about. Mr Morgan, junior, heard the question, and replied that he would like tlio job very well; he was then cutting coal, but the exchange of duty might be a better thing. What, asked the son, would be the wage? Once more came the answer 21 a week, prisoner adding the conditions in this case-" wet or dry, and an hour to dinner." In the morning the servant girl brought prisoner his breakfast—bread and butter and a cup of tea. He seemed hurt at the home- liness of the fare, and asked if she had nothing better for him? The girl said "No." Prisoner after breakfast donned his overcoat and hat and gloves, and prepared to go out, but before leaving he asked the girl to let him soo the sitting- room. She did so. Prisoner, remarked, "That will do very nicely. Iwillbeback by and bye." That was the last she saw of him until she saw him at the police-station.—When in custody at the police-station, prisoner remarked, B. F. Williams has learnt me that it is not what I ob- tain that I can be charged with, but what I have received."—Mr Stockwood There is something in tiiat. -Prisoner: Is there not?—Mr Stock- wood There is bad grammar in it.—The bench then committed prisoner for trial at the next quarter sessions.

At Penarth police-court, on Monday — before Mr James Ware and General Lee-a. number of persons were indicted for selling beer without a licence at Cadoxton. Mr A. W. Morris prosecuted on behalf of the police. The first charge investigated was that against Samuel Faulkner, a rough-looking customer, who kept a hut near the works at Barry Dock. On August 7th P.C. Davies went .into the place, and both defondantand his wife filled pints of beerforhim, he paying 31 each for them. Defendant said in defence that he had been running about the globe for the last 40 years, and had never been caught before. He denied the charge, and said the police- man asked for bread and meat only. P.C. Brinson, stationed at Cadoxton, said the place was a nuisance in the neighbourhood. Men were constantly getting drunk there, and beer was fly- ing about until two in the morning, Faulkner was fined £10 and cost*, or in default 14 days. The next case taken was that of Mary Brooklyn, a stout elderly woman, who at once acknowledged her guilt, and expressed contrition. She was but a ione widow, and had been running about the country for thirteen years (hero her tears choked her utterance), but the bench were determined to put a stop to the beer selling, and fined her 210 and costs or 14 days. The tears immediately stopped, and she declared her willingness to g') up. Wm. Wilson, a young man, who listened with his mouth ivide open to all that was said was more obdurate, and denied that ho had erred. P.C. Davies again proved that he had obtained refreshments in Wilson's house, this time a quart. Wilson defended his case like a barrister, but broke down at the finish. The policeman swore that three men were in the house, and in his eagerness to show that there was only one person present, the defendant admitted hav- ing supplied him with beer. As he was not an old offender, the fine was only £ 5 aud costs, or 14 days. Mrs Annie James, who was the last of the quartette, proved to be a spirited soprano who repudiated all kuowlodge of the policeman. She supposed she must submit to her fato, but her memory in regard to selling- beer was totally deficient. Her husband had left her destitute, and she had to work hard for a living. The fine was X5, and the alternative 14 days.

SWANSEA PlEtt ON FIRE. A FORTUNATE DISCOVERY. Shortly after midday on Monday it was dis- covered that some of the woodwork of the extensive west pier at Swansea had caught fire. Smoke was, fortunately, discovered issuing from the end nearest the shore directly after the igni- tion appeared to have taken place, and a few buckets of water were sufficient to remove all danger. The fire was probably caused by a lighted match being thrown through one of the crevices in the upper platform by afoot passenger, the dry woodwork being readily ignited. A serious conflagration was thus, fortunately, averted.

A REMARKABLE CASE. EXTRAORDINARY CHARGE OF CONSPIRACY AND PERJURY. Charles Sinclair Myddleton Cox, bill discounter, Kemptcn Bridge Lewis Kniht, silk buyer, Bayswater Frederick Marshall, described as a valet, of Bayswater; George Hewetson, civil engineer, and son of Colonel Hewetson, Bays- water Reuben Slack, of Bayswater; and Peter Pogose, law student, living in London, were charged at Shrewsbury, on Monday, with con- spiring to defraud Mr 1:. F. M. Wood, of Eaton Mascott Hall, Shropshire. Cox, Hewetson, Knight, and Marshall were also charged with committing wilful perjury during tho action of Cox v. Wood, tried at last Shropshire Assizes. Mr Peele, town clerk, appeared for the Public Prosecutor Mr Alfred Young for C"x, and Mr Leslie, of London, for Hewetson, Knight, and Marshall, Pogose and black being unrepresented. The charge against Slack was afterwards withdrawn, he having turned Queen's evidence. The case arose out ot an actio., heard at Shropshire assize three werks ago, when the%pris..nnr Cox sought, to recover from Mr Wood .-4 sum of JE580 on a bill of exchange, it being alleged that the bill was drawn by Hewetson, accepted hy Mr Wood and discounted by Ccx. Plaintiff case, however collapsed, and Baron Huddleston gave the then plaintiffs into custody on the above-mentioned charges. The evidence given by Hewetson, Knight, and Marshall on this occasion was repro- duced on Monday by the prosecution. Hewet.son in his evidence, said lie had known Mr Wood some five years ago. when he %vzis a ward of Chan- cery, and that he assisted him in carry- ing out a clandestine marriage with a young Siiroushire lady, in consideration for which services Wood promised him £ 2,000. He had, however, never seen Mr Wood since that time until the 10th of last December, when he alleges he saw him at the Raven Hotel, Shrews- bury. Rouud says that Mr Wood then signed the bill which was sued upon. This statement was corroborated by the evidence of the prisoner Marshall, who said he saw Mr Wood sign the bill. Prisoner Knight said Hewetson showed him a blank bill-stamp in November last, at which time, he says, Mr Wood's name was not attached to it. Mr Wood, however, was put into the witness-box, and swore that he was not at the Raven Hotel, Shrewsbury, on the 10th December, as stated by Hewetson and Marshall, nor had ho ever seen Hewetson since 1882 until he saw him at the assizes a month ago. He admitted signing a couple of blank bill-stamps in London in 1882, and gave them to Hewetson to raise money on for him, but he had never seen Hewetson since, nor received any money or stamps.—At this stage the court adjourned till to-day, Mr Wood being still under cross-examination. The case has created intense excitement, Mr Wood belonging to a well- known Shropshire family.
