Owen Jones, Holyhead, charged Alfred Hawkins, Old House at Home, in the same to wn, with being drunk and disorderly on the S:.h ult.—The defendant had been previously convicted of drunkenness.— P.C. Owen Jones said ttiat on the date in question defendant wanted to tight the landlord of the Sidney Inn and a bluejacket. He also used most uncomplimentary language re- specting the magistrates and the police.— Defendant's mother appeared and pleaded that as his stepfather was in bed with a broken leg, and the boy was her only support, asked that the bench would take a lenient view of the ciise. —The magistrates took a lenient view in conse- quence, but sent, the accused to gttol for seven davs without the option of a line. WAIJNINO TO l'ICYCLrSTS.- P.C. Owen Jones summoned John 4. North West-street, otherwise John Grifiith, 4. Ililiernia-rnw, for riding a bicycle, on the 8th inst., without a lamp, and an hour after sunset.—The officer said that on meeting him defendant said that the bicycle had not been out for a fortnight, and he was going to obtain wick for the lump.— Defendant had given a wrong name.—Mr. E. G. Roberts defended, and the case was dismissed I with a caution. A DOG BEFORK THE IIAGISTRATICS.-William Hughes, o, Ty'nypwll-road, Kmgsland, was summoned bv Mr. James Law, officer of Inland Revenue at Holyhead, for keeping a dog with- out a license. The case was adjourned from the last petty sessions for the production of the dog, as there was a dispute about the animal's age.— Defendant said the do, was about eleven months now, and was nine months when the officer called.-After an examination of the dog's teeth, head, and beard, it was concluded that it was much older than defendant supposed.-Defen- dant was ordered to pay 17s. 6d. including costs. A PITCHED BATTLE.—Mary Jones, 26, Edmund-street, Holyhead, summoned Annie Prichard, Mill-street, for assaulting her on October 8th.—Mr. E. G. Roberts, who appeared for the complainant, said, in his cpeoing state- ment, that his client was removing from one house to another, when a slight misunderstand- ing arose about some language alleged to. have been used by one of their children, when Mrs. Prichard rushed at Mrs. Jones and struck her in the face. His client had a bird cage in her hand at the time, and on attempting to rescue her boy who had come to her help, she was knocked down and badly pounded, her hearing having been affected bv the incident. The complainant and Eliza. Williams were called for the prosecution and bore Mr. Roberts'statements. —For the defence, Isabella Thomas and Ellen Thomas, neighbours,were called, and deposed that it was a free fight, in which both parties were equally to blame.—The bench thought that the offence, if committed, was not a grave one, and that both parties engaged in the scuffle, and the case would accordingly be dismissed, each party to pay her own costs. HELD OVER.—John M. Pritchard, J.P., Gors, Holyhead, summoned John Rowlands, late of No. 1, Moreton-terrace, Harp-street, in the same town, for removing goods and chattels in order to prevent the landlord distraining for arrears. —Defendant did not appear, but was represented by his wife, who stated that her husband was ill.—Mr. Pritchard said he had no objection to an adjournment, and this was agreed to.

OUTRAGE ON WELSH TOURISTS IN SWITZERLAND. AN extraordinary outrage on Welsh tourists at the Monastery of St. Bernard, Switzerland, is reportei. A well-kuown Glamorganshire lady and her maid were touring through Switzerland, and while staying at Martigny they met a gentleman holding a prominent position in commercial circles at Cardiff. The tourist, then drove together to Bour St. Piere, where they began the ascent to St. Bernard Monastery, eight thousand feet, arriving there in the even- ing. The visitors were provided by the monks with apartments for the night. At midnight, however, three Italian soldiers, parading the corridors, burst open the bedroom doors and committed grave assaults upon the ladies, who rushed into the corriders. The monks were aroused, and had the soldiers arrested and flogged. They were subsequently tried by court martial, and sentenced to three*months' imprisonment, and the tourists immediately ft turned to England, -1

MYSTERIOUS DEATH AT PORTA! A DOC. TERRIBLE INJURIES. LAST Tuesday, Dr. T. Hunter Hughes, coroner j for South Carnarvoushire, held an inquest at the Cornhill News-room, l'ortmadoc, on the body oi Henri Koignant, 20 years of age. a seller of J onions, who met his death in a strange, manner; late on the previous Saturday nLht or early on' Sunday morning. The foreman of the jury was: Mr. G. J. Barnard. As most.sericus rumours wero current in the' town respecting the Canse of deceased's death. great interest was felt-in the inquest. Deceased lived with his friend in one or the storeys in a block of buildings situate in Cornhill. The; entrance to the storey is from tliH" big steps"j that lead up to Garth. At the gable end of thej building, and above Cuptain Thomas Lloyd's! coal yard, there are folding doors, where, years ago, wool bales used to he hoisted or lowered when the room was kept as a warehouse. Tbej deceased fell from this door, it was alleged, j I coming in contact with the wooden spikes of the gate at the entrance to the coal yard. Though lie Was not impaled, he was found on Sunday morning with one of the spikes under the jersey he (deceased) wore. There was II little blood from a scratch on the liea.1, and tlj;. left hand was covered with blood. The bod y was dead and rigid. The distance from the; doors to the bottom of the yard was about 2'H feet. From the same door to the top of the! gate the distance was about nine feet. If a perpendicular line were drawn from the outerside of the doors to the ground opposite the gate, the distance along the ground to the gate would be two feet. The jury and the coroner inspectedI the premises and viewed the body, paying great; attention to all that they could see and hear inj order that they might form a right judgment as to how the deceased met with his death. Inspector Prothero was present, and con- ducted the case on behalf of the police. Huelvant Jean Marie deposed: I am a native of finisterre, France. The body shown me to- day is that of Henri Roignant. We are natives of the same place. He would be 2 1) years of; age next Christmas, was single, and sold onions. We are four, 1, deceased, and two others, and occnpy a room in a block of buildings at Corn-1 hill, Portmadoc. Saw deceased last alive on Saturday night last. We were going to sleep in the room referred to, and in the same bed. It was about 10.45 p.m. The old man, Yves! Roiguant, uncle of the deceased, went to beli: about ten o'clock, and I and the others at the time mentioned. We all slept. About 20 minutes: afterwards deceased got up. Deceased slept between the old man and myself. Deceased did not have anything for supper, and got up to. get something. He was drunk when he cuine; home, between 9.30 and 10 o'clock, and said; he did not like soup. He threw the bowl and soup out through the window. He! was noisy. There was no row,—no more than! that, lie told me he was going to have his: supper. He left me in bed. We did not hear; anything of him afterwarls. About 6.30 next! morning the old man got up to make breakfasts I did not get up then. I noticed Henri was iiok by me. The old man called out and looked for him. He went about and found the gable end door open. Looking down, he saw the deceased! on the gate. He then asked me to get up, and I did so, and went to rouse the neighbours. Ttiere was no blood, nor were there any marks upon him then. His nose was straight, as far as 1 noticed. I am not aware that he had any marks upon his body. After the dispute about the soup he went out. Three of us got sixpence each from the governor," and we went out for some drink. I aud another man got beer, and deceased got three half-glasses of whisky with-! out water. Deceased reached home first and went up the steps himself without stumbling. He was muddled. My partner and I were not drunk. I am sure deceased did not fall. We all went straight to bed. I locked the entrance door and left the key in the lock. I was with him all day in the country, and can say there was no quarrel between us. He was in partner- ship with the old man. We sometimes open the gable end door to let in the air to dry the onions. There is a bar across the door. Yves Roignant, uncle of deceased, said I went to bed about 10, and the others about 11.15 to 11.30, I was still awake. There was no dispute about anything only that deceased would not take soup. J did not hear get up and cry. I got up next morning- when day was breaking, aud missed deceased. I saw the gable end door open, and when I luoked down I saw deceased on the gate. I then called the others up at once. His knife and piece of bread tproduced) were found on his box. I cannot account for his going to the door. All the doors were closed on Saturday night. It was one wing of the gable door that was open on Sunday morning the other was closed and bolted. Deceased hild a candle, which was all burnt out. I did not see anything out of place except that the door was open. Deceased used to cry when in drink, and he was quite drunk that night. I did not see any marks upon him when hu came home. Robert Roberts, 2, Harbour-terrace, deposed I was in my house on Saturday night and was close to the place where the Frenchmen live. It was about 25 minutes to midnight. I heard peculiar crying, as of a man drunk but not in pains. It was a strange noise. (Witness here tried to imitate him.) I knew the noise came from one of the Frenchmen in the room. lily house is on a higher level than the one upon! which the room in qijestion is. The crying came! from the inside of the room. I heard only thej voice of one person. I stood iu the door for! about ten minutes. I never heard such a noise; before. The Frenchmen always lived peaceably together. They came to knock me up about-! seven o'clock on Sunday morning. l'hey si,) I —"Oh, comedown, inistar bnt:h. Harry is dead; down there." I went down Hnd found deceased hanging by his jersey on the gate, with the right1 arm round some of the upper bars of the gate,; which was almost under the door. Deceased! was quite dead. I looked up and saw the; furthest, part of the door open—the part furthest from tiie gate. I did not see vuiy sign of a struggle, nor marks of any blood. TIle door was an old lift. I only knew that they let in the air through the door to dry the onions. Mrs. Owen came down about the same time as I did. I have heard others cry when in drink. I heard somebody make a noise by the entrance door, II if trying to open it by removing the bur. lie did not open the door. He was making the noise then. Did not hear any fighting. Heard somebody go from the entrance door. The Lois- wits heard afterwards. lrs. Owen came to rue and said the crying was still going on. I did not hear anything afterwards till the morning. Huelvant Jean Marie, recalled, said that the, deceased had a habit of crying, but he did not hear him that night because he (witness) had i fallen asleep. There was no blood on the breads The bread was in a basket when witness went! to bed. Deceased might have ate some of it. Elizabeth Owen, 1, Harbour-terrace, said: I live within a few yards of the room, and I heard them come home. I had seen three go out of, the room. They came back about 11.15 p.m. i lJeceased was in driuk before he came down! from Festiniog. I spoke to him and asked him! why he had made the noise, and he said he had; thrown the soup because he did not like it. i They returned quite peaceably, and were talking; to each other. I hearl them in the room, and someone crying there about half-au-hour after-! wards. The crying did not sound as of someone! in pain. I had heard deceased cry like that before. R. Roberts was near my door. I went to him afterwards, and said that deceased was still crying in the big room. I knew deceased was in drink, as he used to cry when in that state. It was now nearly midnight. It was about 20 minutes to 7 on Sunday morniag when I next heard anything. P.C. William Williams stated I was on duty at Penycei about eleven o'clock on Saturday night, and saW three Frenchmen running after each other there, and larking and chaffing. They were not drunk, and they did not seem to have been quarrelling. I only spoke to one of them, and did not notice that they were drunk. Sergeant Thomas Williams deposed: About seven o'clock on Sunday morning I was called to the deceased, who was hanging on thegate by his jersey, with his arm round two of the uprights, and he was bent and stiff, The left arm was also bent but not holding to anything. The right hand held the end of one of the uprights, and the left hand clenched. Deceased was quite dead. I examined the ground before I removing the body, which hung on the I inside of the gate, with the face outwards. There was nothing to show that the deceased had first of all fallen on to the ground, either on I the outside or the inside, nor was there any! vomit. All the doors at the gable end of the building were closed, with the exception of the door of the room in which deceased and his friends lived. From the point of a perpen-j dicular line drawn from the middle of the door to the ground opposite the gate there would be about two feet to the gote itself. I took the body down and conveyed it to the deadhouse. I examined the room thoroughly, and could not find anything wrong. There was no sign of scuffling. 1 found one ¡f the folds of the gable and door open, and thg other bolted. The bar hung down, behind the open part. There was no blood on iEhe -fitfr. It had not been washed. I examined the body,; and found a little blood on the top of the bead,! where there was a wound. There was a scratch Ua the face and some blood in the right nostril. I There was very little blood on the upper lip, and on the right hand with which he held himself (n the gate. I cannot s,iy how l e fell on the gme. It is possible that deceased went to Ihe duor to ease himself. It was quite possible for him to fall on the gate by losing his equilibrium, and knocking his head against the wall. He might have struck his shoulder against the wall,_ unci have placed his weight on te. fold of the door, have lost his balance, and fallen over. If lie were pushed directly out he would have fallen immediately under the open door, and inside the gate. I should have exp- cted to see si^ns of a scuffle if it had taken place, or, if he had been pushed out, some signs oil the person of the deceased or on the door. 1 Ivive no doubt that the deceased met his death in the way I have described. Therewereheupsof onions in the room which would have been kicked about if a row had takeu place. I saw pieces ot a bowl outside the building, below the window. Dr. W. Jones-Morris deposed About 5.30 on Sunday afternoon, I was called to the deceased. .Since then, I have made a jio.,t-mortem examina- tion. I found a small punctured wound on the right side of the head. It is a lacerated puncture. ftb.,ut the Kith of an inch. It did not reach the bone. There was a little blood about the head. the wound WHS not dangerous and might have been caused by a sharp pointed object, but not by a knife. On the left forehead there was a slight bruise, and quite superficial. There was a slight mark on each eye, but of no con- sequence. On examining the body I found on the right side a wnutd aud an abrasion, a patch of considerable size over the region of the liver. There was a similar discolouration outhe left but with more swelling. There was likewise a slight discolouration on the left side of the abdomen. I did not notice anything on the arm nor on the limbs. I found a. little blood oa his right hand. All the external marks were recent and prior to death. I opened the abdomen, and found all the right side that the liver Iud been ruptured through. There was a large quantity of blood in the abdomen cavity. On the left side the ninth rib was broken, and had punc- tured into the stomach, which was consequently ruptured, and the spleen was also ruptured. The shock and these injuries were enough to cause death, which must have been almost in- stautaneoua. It was difficult to say when the wounds on the head were made. They were recent. I should not expect to see any blood at the door before the fall. The wound at the back of the head might have been caused in the course of the fall, or by the nail in the door. The other wounds were caused by the spikes of the gate. I have DO suspicion tlilt the deceased met his death other than by accident. lie could not have been thrown out in the direction lie fell, if there was any movement after he fa!) it must have been involuntary. It is wonderful that he was not impalel. lie had his jersey and drawers on. The Coroner summed up the evidence, and the jury returned a verdict of Death by misadven- ture." Mr. G. J. Barnardo, who was foreman of the jury, most ably interpreted the evidence given in French and English, and he was thanked for his able service.

MR. LABOUCHERE AT AnEl- YSTWYTH. THE TIPPEKARY FARCE. IMPORTANT DECLARATION" ON THE WELSH CHURCH QUESTION. Ox Wednesday night, Mr. Labouchere, M P., addressed, at the Town Hall, Aberystwyth, the last of a series of Liberal meetings which have been held under the auspices of the Cardigan- shire Liberal Association. Mr. Bowen Rowlands, Q.C., M.P., occupied the chair, and there was a large aud enthusiastic audience. The Chairman introduced Mr. Labouchere by quoting Mr. Chaplin's statement in a recent speech, that the senior member for Northampton had at present the greatest amount of influence in the councils of the party. iir. Labouchere, who was received with great cheering, complimented Welsh Liberals on the staunchness shown by them at the last election. Proceeding to discuss Home Rule, he observed staunchness shown by them at the last election. Proceeding to discuss Home Rule, he observed that he had no desire to argue the question with a Tory, but when he heard a man speaking in the usual strain agaiust Home Rule, and claiming to be a Liberal, he said to him, My good friend, you are not a Liberal. The sentiments you utter would better become the mouth of a Cossack in a Polish village, or a Bashi-Bazouk in Armenia Polish village, or a Bashi-Bazouk in Armenia (cheers). Referring to the Tipperary trials, he alluded to the effrontery of the man Shannon in {daring to sit on the bench when his bias against I tbe defendants was most obvious. There was no i judge upon the English bench, not even the most, STory of them, who would, under similar circum- stances, have consented to abjudicate, for if he did, there would have been such an uprising that he would not have dared to show his face Ap- plause). This mnn Shannon had sent Mr. Sheehy to prison for making a remark which Shannon chose to consider a contempt of court. lie ven- !tured to siy tint there -were not half-a-dozen [Liberals in England who might not justly share Mr. Sheehy's imprisonment, if that gentleman de- [served imprisonment for expressing contempt of the man Shannon (loud cheers). In reference to the flight of Mr. Dillon and Mr O'Brien he said it was absurd to accuse them of cowardice. They had made arrangements to satisfy their sureties, and they had simply come to the conclusion that by accepting their imprisonment-a foregone conclusion, of cotirse-a few months hence, after collecting a famine fund for the starving peasants in America, instead of accepting imprisonment now, they would do the greater service to Ireland, They bad been imprisoned before, and there was nothing more certain than that they would return in due time, and face whatever sentence the iii-in Shannon chose to impose on them. Passing on to deal with Welsh questions, Mr. Labouchere saul that it was contrary to the fundamental prin- ciples of Radicalism that any Church should be established by the State, even though it were the Church of the vast majority of the population. At the same time, he perfectly agreed with the proposition that there were special reasons why a Welsh Disestablishment mid Disendowment Bill should take precedenoe jot a general bill for both England and Wales. I It. was the most preposterous tiling the mind of man could conceive that there should be all established and endowed Church in a country where the vast majoiity of the population where Nonconformists, who supported their own forms of religion. The Irish Church wacdisestablished :alld disendowed because a majority of the population were Roman Catholics. But the proportionate majority of Irish members in favour of Disestablishment at the time was not nearly so great as the proportionate majority of Welsh Liberal members had been for a loug time (cheers). What did they propose to do with the funds of the disestablished Church ? For his part, he should devote them to the establish- ment of an absolutely free and perfectly un- sectarian education (loud cheers). At present the minds of Welshmen were exercised in regard to the collection of tithes. lie considered any Welshman had a perfect right to oppose the payment of tithe. He honoured any Welshman who said, If you want, tithe, come and take it. You shall do your dirty work in the dirtiest manner possible, in the most public manner possible, and in the way most injurious to the work you are doing." Last session they had a little bill, which was the bill of Lord Salisbury himself, who, as they knew, was ecclesiastically inclined. Lord Salisbury had a on in the House of Commons—a son who had been specially created by Providence in order to demonstrate that talent is not hereditary, lie was the most simple, well-meaning, and silly young man who ever Silt in the House (loud laughter). Whenever Mr. Smi'h mace a state- ment as to the public business, Lord Cranborne got up and bleated, What about my papa's Tithe Bill ?." (renewed laughter). And Mr. Smith replied, Yes, yes, young gentleman; it is all right; we will look after your papa's Tithe Bill "(.more laughter). But the Tory country gentleman did not like the bill, and it had to be dropped. But Lord Salisbury was a powerful man, and so probably when Parliament met, they would be met with another Tithe Bill, and Lord Cranborne would again have to look after the interest of papa. If the proposed bill passed, the Welsh farmers would possibly not he able to make such an effective protest as they could at present against the payment of this odious imposition, and so the Liberal party would not assuredly aid and abet Lord Salisbury in any plan for rendering it easy for the clergy and others to obtain the tithes (applause). Meanwhile, if he had any advice to offer to Welshmen, it would be, Do not pay a shilling of tithe, but let the clergyman or the clergy- man's agent come and distrain for it at his own peril" (cheers).

FITS. EPILEPSY OR FALLING SICKNESS, GIDDINESS, SENSATIONS AND FAINTS. I will demonstrate to the whole world how that most dreadful of all complaints, "Epilepsy," which has been hitherto considered incurable, can be per- manently cured (without the chance cf failure).

"IN.DAEKESr ENGLAND." Whatever else may be said of General Booth, no one can deny that he is in deadly earnest. He may be called an Utopian enthusiast by the cynical his methods and his procedure may be described as wanling in refinement by those who have or ihink they have some of the superficial veneer of civiliea-; tion the Army which he directs ana leads with so eploudid a generalship may be recruited from the fanatical and marshalled to their chosen goul prin- cipally through the agency of vulgar noise. But with whatever justice these and other criticisms may be levelled against one of the most remarkable organisers of our time, it cauuot but be admitted that the co mmanding officer has not only a religious ambition but a vast deil of saving commonseu=e. If ploof were needed, it is abun- dantiy supplied by the volume which General; Booth has found time to compose and which he en- titles-in confessed imitation of the work of Mr. Stanley—"In Darkest England." The book is written in graphic pages, to most of which smart and catchy titles are appended, such as the "Sub- merged Tenth," The House-held Salvage Bri- gade," The Cab-horsa Cba-rtor," A Slum Crusade," and "Whitechapèl by the Sea; and it is adorned by a graphically hideous frontispiece in order to illustrate the General's methods of escape from Darkest England. Apart, however, from such tolling devices as these, to which the Salvation Army has rendered us tolerably familiar, we are confronted in those pages with RZL elaborate scheme of redemption for the dregs of the population which deserves careful attention, equally from the world of professing Christians and the ranks of social reformers. The general idea of the book is quite euoug" to demonstrate its prac- tical character. Genei-d Booth desires to save men's souls, and he repeats over and over again that this is his ultimate aim. Meanwhile, however, there is one pressing and immediate condition of the final success—to save men's bodies—in the absence of which the ladder of Salvation is devoid of its initial steps. The first thing is to attend to the material necessities of food and work and t-helter, before we even attempt to preach to etirs deadened with guilt and hunger the uluims of a better life. Shortly stated,the scheme coutdtstsof three divisions, to which are given the names of The City Colony," "The Farm Colony," and "The Colony over bea." The first step must be to provide home, shelter, and work in London then to draft the promising recruits to an estate on which to settle, as though it were some newly-alloted farm in the West tinally, to establish a colony,ia South Africa by preference, composed of men and womeik who have embarked in the good ship Salvation, after having successfully paesed the stages of probation in the City Colony and the Farm Colony. Each of these involves peculiar difficulties of its c*»vn in- deed, the whole scheme, all General Booth remarks, involves conditions—such as that of sufficient width for all classes aud the necessity of im- mediate applications—almost sufficient to deter him from formulating it at e-11. But ia this, as in other spheres, tli9 most conspicuous characteristic of tho Salvation Army is its complacent optimism or, perhaps, we should rather call it its sincere faith in the ultimate amelioration of humanity. General Booth, then, advances without any real misgiving to give us an idea of that is included in his first stage. Here he has tome practical ex- perience to refer to for the City Colony is oniy an extension of these food and shelter depots, some live of which had been in operation for the last two years in different parts of London. You can take, he tells us, a hungry man out of work, and can give him a Idling supper, substantial bieak- fact, and a bed iu a well-warmed room at a cosfcj of little more than 4d. But he may not have 4d. in his pocket. In that case, you are still to take; him in and make him work for his bod aud board, j Labour yards and factories must be established iu connection with these shelters, where simple work, like chopping wood for firewood, making mats, undi sewing sacks may be carried out by those anxious, to win their fourpenny worth. There is no fear,! General Booth thinks, of a glut of workmen in liiaj labour yard, for mo it will do their fourpeuny worth i of work and no more. In connection with these1 labour yards there ought to be a labour register fori the benefit of the unorganised labour of the town. It is said substantial success has been gained by lit! labour bureaucouuected with the White chapel shelter. The second and third stages ot the scheme, are no less interesting and important than the first, of whioh' we have briefly sketched the outline. It is recog- nised that, however useful and necessary it may be to have Shelter Depots, Labour Bureaus, and a Salvage Corps in Loudon, these are, after all, only palliatives of the existing misery; and what we want to do is to get the homeless and workless out, of Darkest England into some brighter and better! conditions of existence. Thii* is possible in one way, and one alone the people tai,%t be planted ou the; land. Waste Labour to Waute Land is Gen. Booth's- watchword, and hence the Farm Colony must be established both as a training ground for emigrant* and as a great market garden for the supply of ra- tions to those out of work in the city. To the Farm Colony are to be sent a picked body of workers to! put up shanties, to learn to be stonemasons and carpenters, and to work at all processes of agricul- ture. Here too much of the City refuse, collected by the Household Salvage Corps, is to be trans- ported by barges, drifting downwards with the the tide to the wharves of the Farm Colony," and sorted and utilised in a thousand different ways. Broken viotuals are to be steamed and dressed for human food. Other "rusts are to feed the horses, the poultry, aud, above the pigs, for the Army piggery is to be the lurgesfc in the land. Bacou factories, brush works, saddlery, old clothes mended aud repaired, cobbling and shoemaking, button works, manure works, soap works—such are a few of the heterogeneous industries which are to spring up in the Farm Colony. It all reads like More's Utopia, but the Geueral's firm faith in the possi- bility of his scheme carries the reader away. It, is better, at all events, to dream a social panacea than to acquiesce in things as they are. The world was never yet cured by pessimism. We now come," says General Booth, to the third and final stage of the regenerative process- the Colony-Over-Sea." He admits that to men- tion over-sea is sufficient with some people to dainu the scheme." But, though he ooudemus emigration as now practised, and solemnly declares that he will be no party to the transportation of mau, wounn, or child who does not wish to leave home, he yet thinks that if the land b3 prepared for the people and the people prepared for the land a uew home beyond the ocean is the natural and appropriate outcome of his proposed remedies for social disorder. His idea is to take eatates in the colonies, iu South Africa for choice, and uave them laid out for the advent of the colonists, who would arrive in a Salvation ship aud be con- ducted to their new ho.aes, alreadly prepared for their reception. Such is the scheme in its three- fold character, as sketched out by the busy braiu of a master at orguuisation. An important question remains, which claims a definite answer. How much will all this leformccst r No oue, says the author, can eay what expenditure may be neces- sary for dealing with the "sunken tenths" of all nations; but in Great Britain he is prepared to attempt it if he can obtain a million sterling.

AN AMUSING INCIDENT. An incident, which occasioned some commotion and amusement, occurred on Sunday on board the Cuuard liuer Servia, just before she sailed from Queenstown for New York. A youug Irish girl, named Kate Walsh, who had been employed in Bir- mingham for six years as a telegraph operator, had embarked for America, when she was confronted by her sweetheart, a Birmingham provision merchant, named Feely. He begged her to leave the fihip and return with him, as he was prepared to marry her. She consented, but reproached him, saying" You were very nearly too late; you should have asked me before."

PRIZEFIGHTERS FINED. At the Bath Quarter- Sessions, on Saturday, Morgan Crowther, of Newport, and James Hay- man, of Bristol, were indicted for engaging in a prize fight at BrocK Street Hall, Bath, ou the night of the races. Benjamin Hyams, of London, was also indicted for aiding and abettiug the fight. The police stated that the first eight or nine rounds were harmless sparring, but then, urged on by the seconds and the cries of the crowd, the men fought in earnest. Haymau's eye was closed, and there was blood on Crowther. The police then in- terfered. The gloves used were two-ounce ones. No evidence was called for the defence. Crowther and Hayman were fined £:25 each for assault, and bound over to keep the peace. Hyama was fined JE5.

A despatch from Hayti to New York announces that the Haytian corvette Jacmel has sunk off Cape Haytian, after a collison with a merchant vessel. A new public library for Camberwell, London, wu opened in the Old Kent Road on Saturday by Sir E. Clarke, who delivered an address on some of the advantages of novel reading. Mr. G. Liveaey having given the site and building, at a costjof £ ,7000, the institutiou will bear his name. At Barnsley a boy has been birched for breaking into a cricket pavilion and drinking so much beer that an emetic had to be administered. Another boy who stole grapes was, we are told, "similarly treated." This may mean he was birched or physicked—perhaps both. Let us hope so. The Duchess of Teck has promised to oppn a bazaar, to be held at Richmond on the 2nd and 3rd i December, in order to obtain funds for the erection of a drinking fountain, and in aid of the Richmond branch of tho Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals.

STORMY WEATHER. WRECK AND LOPS OF FOUKIEKN LIVES. Information reached Liverpool ou Mondav from winch it is feared that the Spanish barque Villa de Llauiez, which left the Mersey on tho Tuesday pre- vious for Spain, lias gone down with all hands in L'verpool Bay. Tho tug in charge of her left her at the bar early on ay nirig, when the heavy gales of laRt week wore commencing, and she WSB last 809U off Great Oniw's Head standing oat to sea. On Thursday and Friday a inrge quantity of wreckage WSB wasned ashore in the Mersey, and it is now proved to bo from the barque. Two bodies were also washed ashore ou Monday. She earned twelve hands all told, besides two Liver,ool A telegram received on Monday I1i:.d:' says there is no doubt that the crew are all drowned, in addition to her captain and eleven ethers t-hers was on board a Liverpool pilot named Brown, whose body was washed on the Cheshire shore. The britr must, hare mc-t the full force of last• Wednesday and Thursday's gales, for she was left bv the tug at the Mersey bar, and later was reportéd off the Orine's Head. Doubtless she was returning to Liverpool, when she stranded in the Liverpool Bay, where her hull weB found on Monday, aiong with a quantity of wreck-,go.-The steam trawler, Restless Witve, of Grantou, foundered olf May Island "u Sunday morning. The crew, seven in number, took to their boats, but were unable to ldu -1 on account of a heavy sea. The lifeboat Fergus Ferguson wan at once launched, and was successful in rescuing them irom their perilous position.—The Hull steziia trawler Excelsior has arrived in port with the loss of two hands in the rough weather on Saturday night. The third hand was knocked overboard, and whilst trying to save him four of the remaining five were carried overboard by the trawling-gear. Charles Webb, the second hand, rescued the skipper, engiueer, and boatswain with ropes. The two men drowned were Peter Allen, third hand, and Thomas Jones, deck hand. Both were marriocl.-TLe officers aud men beiouging to the Channel Squadrou, to the number of about 300, passed Sunday night at Scarborough. All sailors and marines were ordered ashore to assemble at the Lighthouse Pier at 7.-it) on Monday morniug, but when the men gathered there in com- pliance with their instructions so heavy a swell was i running that it was not considered safe to risk at- tempting to join the ships in the small boats. Scarcely had tlie ssa begun to calm down when a Icer.tBo fog came on, and, under the circumstances, it wat; decided to further delay the men's departure. AdLairal Seymour and Capt. Simpson, of theliagship jCauiperdown appeared at nine o'clook, and ordered 'tne men of the Speedwell to proceed by train to Hull, and join tho.r vessel at that port. Ouly one officer has ibeün aboard the Speedwell since Friday. Fifty iof the men were housed privately ou Sunday night, I fifty slept at coffee houses, and others at the CUULOII I a(;Iioolfs aud elsewhere. In spite cf the heavy swell I Admirul Seymour and Captain Simpson succeeded in hoarding the Camperdown, at great risk, at noon. A Scarborough correspondent telegraphs that the series of mishaps which have marked the visit of the Channel Squadron culminated on Saturday afternoon in a serious accident, particulars of which have ouly just reached shore, owiug to the storm, which rendered communication with the ships im- possible for twenty-four hours. When the Caui- perdown on Saturday received sigual orders from Admiral Seymour, who was weather- I bouud on shore, to put to sea, heavy waves .were breaking over her, and her bow was frequent- ly submerged# At the same momeut Potty-officer I Russell was struck by a heavy set, swept overboard, and drowned, no attempt to save him being possible. The officer in command saw that there was no time to be lost, and at once gave the order to slip anchors. The pitching and roiling 'of the big irouclad made the operations difficult and dangerous, but the men set to work without hesitation, and had half completed their task when the ship gave a tremendous lurch, and the heavy cables slipped at a frightful pace, till the men standing near were caught in a vecitabis vortex of chains, and in a moment the deck was strewn with groaning victims. Altogether thirteen men were ia- jured. Two petty officers had their thighs Iractured, eight seamen had several ribs broken, be- sides sustaining severe bruises aud flesh wouuds, while the remainder were found to be Buffering from broken fingers, wrists, &-o, The suliereis were quickly removed to the sick bay, and the Camper- j down, having got rid of her anchors, put to sea in the teeth of the storm. By four o'clock on Mon- day afternoon most of the offiosrs and men had managed to rejoin their ships, but a few strag- glers had not reported themselves up till six o'clock jn the evening. Fifty men belonging to the Irn- mortalite remain on shore awaiting the return of their ship, which started for Sheerness on Sunday for coal, of which she had run short. In answer to rocket signals thq reserve lifeboat No. 3, in tow of the steam lifeboat Duke of Northumberland, left Harwich Harbour on Monday morning, and found the screw steamer Achilles, of Sunderland, bound from Riga to London with railway sleepers, ashore on Shipwash Saud. The captain accepted the services of the tug Harwich and the life- boat, and after throwing overboard about four hundred tons of cargo, the steamer was towed off apparently not damaged and takeu to Loudon. The steam lifeboat, whioh has only been placed on thestationreoently, behaved admirably.—The R-rn gate fishing fleet Buffered considerably duriug the recent stcrms.—On Wednesday two men from the Lowestoft smack St. George and two from theRams- gate smack Victory were put on board a derelict and leaky Dutch fishing-vessel, which it is feared subsequently foundered with all on board.—A New, York telegram states that steamers arriving there report having encountered terrific werther in the Atlantic during the past few days.

A RAILWAY OFFICIAL KILLED. A shocking accident happened at Crewe, on Monday morning to Mr. George Siddall, sen., draughtsman, employed by the London and North- Western Railway Company. Mr. Siddall waa crossing the line, aud was knocked down and run over by an engine and carriage. He was removed to the railway company's hospital, but died on the way. Deceased was a well-known temperance re- former, and was much respected in railway circles. He ieavea eight children.

DEATH OF SIR RICHARD BURTON. Sir Richard Burton, the eminent Eastern tra-I veller and Orientalist, who has held the post of British Consul, at Trieste, since 1872P died on Mon- day morning. Sir Richard had not been in robust health for some years past, but felt comparatively well on Sunday. During the night, however, he was seized by an attack of gout which ultimately leached the heart, the end coming quite suddenly at seven o'clock in the morning. The English. resident doctor who has been with Sir Richard Burton for the laat three years was in attendance at the death bed. The body will be provisionally I interred at Trieste on Wednesday, and will after- waids be taken to England. Sir Richard Burton was in his ûth year, having been born in 1621.

MURDER AT CARDIFF. At an early hour on Tuesday morning, Anthony Roderick and his wife, who kept a boarding-house in Christina Street, Cardiff, were shot by David Arthart, their lodger, who, in a fit of passion, aroused, as he alleges, by a certain charge being made against him, fired a pistol at the man and woman. He ran away; but, after a chase by the police, was arrested. The woman died about half an hour after being shot, and the man, who was taken to the Infirmary, is not expected to survive.

EXTRAORDINARY DEATH. At an inquest held on Monday, at Colchester, on Miss Emma Wigg, who died on Saturday immedi- ately after her mother's funeral, it was stated that deceased while in the cemetery exclaimed repeatedly Lord, let me die." She showed great terror at tlio sight of the hearse, and implored her friends to have it taken away, adding, Let me lie on the beauti- ful grass and die." On reaching home she shrieked, "Oh I Lord, lam dying," and was dead before medical aid could arrive. Dr. Becker stated that excitement had induced syncope, and the jury re- turned a verdict acooi diugiy.

Mies Kate Walsh, the young Irish girl who dis- embarked on Sunday from the bervia, and abandoned | her intended voyage to New York, on the entreaties of her lover, Mr. Feely, a Birmingham merchant, was married to him on Monday morning in St. Col- man's Cathedral, Queeustown, after which the happy pair started by train for Birmingham. A man named Doyle was, on Sunday night, found dead at Carragraigne, near Enuiscorthy, under cir- ,cumatancel which led to the belief that he was the victim of foul play. Two men named Cullen and their sister, the wife of the deceased, was arrested on Monday, and charged with the murder of Doyle. Mr. Irving paid a visit to Lord Tennyson at Aid- worth, Haslemere, on Sunday, the poet was in good health, and walked out with his gueet in the course of the afternoon. The Queen has forwarded through General Sir H. F. Ponsonby, her annual subscription cf fifty pounds to the Army and Navy Pensioner*' Employment Society, of which her Majeety is patron. Mr. J. W. James, farm bailiff Rackley Wood, while walking along the Great Western Railway, near Albrighton, on Saturday night, was knocked down by a passenger train and killed, a portion- oi his head being found wedged iu the a u to mat *,a bcako of one of the carriages on the arrival of the train at Wolverhampton. | Anew astronomical society has beeu formed, and is to be called the "British," in distinction from ithe 44 Royal." The new society it to be on altogether broader lines than its older sieler. Women are to be adinited as membars, and two of the gentler sex, |Mrs. Huggins and Miss Cierke, have been elected to the council. ) i

FASHIONS FOR NOVEMBER. Winter walking costumes are quUo a feature in dress this season. They are composed of the thickest: and roughest textured materials, being further com- pleted with warm linings, which enable them to h: worn out of doors without the addition of either jacket or mantle. The boucle is a new fabric,; besides others which are spotted with woolly -dis, E in a contrasting shade to that of the actual mHterinL These make up prettily with some trimaiing in aj plain coloured velvet or t ilk. Neutral tiuted clo'.hsj or homespuus may be employed to fashion sailor| gowns without any additional trimming, and are completed with neatly-stitched hems. Gowns ara composed of thinner cloth, cashmere, or siik, when intended for home wear. Some pretty | materials are woven in fancy cloth, which aro either: etriped, chequered, or spotted; these are used in! combination with a plain fabric, when they form dainty and stylish costumes. Straight skirts are bordered round the hem by a ■ narrow gathered frill, and one side is slashed from! the feet to the waist, disclosing a panel of a rent material to that of the skirt. A yoke and! sleeves to corret-pond wiih the panel complete aj gathered corssge, and finish the costume. Silk or velvet ribbon makes au etiec'.ive trimming for plain woollen gowns. One of the latest methods cf employing this garniture is to make incisions at equal distances in the cloth, and pass the ribbon in and out of these in the same manner as in running a string through lace. Shirts finished thus above tho hem to form a border trimming are novel and effective, while the collar and cuffs with a full vest may be treated in the same slyle. Velvet corset, sleeves, and collar added to simple gowns of a woollen fabric give a smart finish. They are often used with toilettes which are com-I posed of a chequered or spotted design, when the colour should be selected to harmonioe with the latter. Neutral tones of colour with the blue and green plaids will be the popular shades this so&s. n, the lormer in homespun or smooth cloths, aud the latter in a soft woollen or silk. Turquoise blue is the latest novelty in colour it is much usod for millin- ery purposes, and also in sm-ul quantities as a trimming to gowns of a neutral tone, such as tan or leather, in the form of panels, vest, revers, and sucii etceteras. A nice tone of heliotrope composes many dressy toilettes, with the addition of some velvet in a decidedly deeper shade. For afternoon wear jackets of velvet, with sleeves of the same material as the skirt drapery, are being: much worn when aneutire out-of-door costume is required en suits for tall, slight figures, with a well moulded bust, aud should be selected by them in preference to loose shapeless garments. Fur is being used in large quantities for the pur- pose of trimming both costumes and mantles, besillee. many jackets it is laid on to the several garments as a border, and has a cosy, comfortable appearance. Astrachan forms an elegant finish to walking toil- ettes when used to edge the skirt and also to trim the bodice. Made up fura may be worn with any costume,and are, therefore, more popular than the garniture, as they make a change when placed separately on a dress bodice or jacket. Peleriues and loug boas will be worn this season, with inuif and deep cutis, to correspond. The former are inide with deep col- lars, which can be worn upright or turned down by merely reversing the fur. leather collarettes are quite a novelty this sea- son they are composed of the softest ostrich pluinef, and are only just long enough to encircle the neck, fastening in front with a bow of silk ribbon. These dainty collars are made iu many different colours, besides those in natural tints, the plumes are extremely becoming, aud,;as either of these feather necklets are expensive they are not likely to become commonplace. In dress the merest details date, and although the fashion of a garment may still be in the mode, some trine in its composition may betray it as having been made a year since. Those who are quite au cow ant with the times take care that their winter jackets or mantles are lined with the latest silk lining This is a shot fabric, with a narrow strip of one of the colours which compose the background it is to be had in many diilerent shade of tones, and forms a smart and dressy finish to mantles which are intended for day or eveuitig wear. Embroidered washing frillings should be selected for bldayeuses in the winter time. These may be fouud worked in coloured cotton upon white naiu- sook it is a popular idea with many that these additions to a gown are out of fashion, or not needed, yet no Frenchwoman ever considers her toilet complete without a balayeuse to her skirt, and certainly they preserve the latter from getting so soon soiled, or cutting out at the edge. Washing frillings last a very long time, as they return fresh and crisp from the laundress, even after constant use, so that they prove more inexpensive in the long run than cheaper ones, which are worn a few times, and then thrown away. Hats with wide round brims-are becoming de-1 cidedly favourite shapes this season, and certainly they form a change from the close fitting shapes! which have been so much worn lately. There it', I however, one drawback to the extreme size 01. hats, aud that is such a large amouut of trimming is needed to cover them, that they really become, such expensive items of dress, as to be quite; unobtainable by a great many possessors of small: dress allowances. Thick plumes are much used, for millinery purposes. Small round tips in bright) colours enliven blftck hats cr bonnets while longj ones form a handsome trimming for big Lat. i Flat felt plates, instead, of being twisted ir— j regularly to form hat shapes, are in front, being slightly curved upwards at the back a rouleau of velvet placed under the brims makes them lit the head, while some ribbon and feathers combined form the trimming, which is { placed at the back of the crown. Pretty toqr.es are covered entirely with velvet, while a cluster 01 birds or tiny sparrows' wiugs is arfully placed among the folds, and is arranged in such a manner that it gives height to the otherwise flat shapes.— )1rt,. Leach's Itrcuraaker. Naturally much atteution is now given to manges and jackets, preference certaiu!y baing for jackets, still very choice models are shown hi duller form, and velvet, plush, or rich corded tiiik seems most favoured, the trimmings comiatiug of feather niche, fur, and passementerie. Elegantly braided do.mans of line cloth are shown, fiuixbed uith a far border- ing. Setil jael-ein tuke the le;,d therefore, IS weal is within the reach of only tho limited few, tUera will be great domund for seal eloto, aud which iu its best quality is scarcely distinguishable from tho real fur. Mauy smart models in seal jackets shoT loose single-breasted fronts, others being tight rluiusr, whiie another style shows for Stanley fronts. Se-alis made up alone, or often seen with trim mines cf Persian lamb, which forms a narrow bordering to the1 jacket, or the entire sleeves can be formed of this! pretty curly fur. Moiro in terra-cotta, red, gold, 1 black, aud pale blue, is the fashionable coat-huiug; th is season, while many of the newest seal: models are lined with gold c.r cardinal, quilted satin. Beaver forms the trimming to beaver- ciotli jackets, while it is a beautiful fl4.r for capes.1 By the way, how fashionable capes are, especially: in fur and so pretty in shape, too. They form a point back and front to waist, a kind of half-sleeve well raised on shoulder, and a deep roll-over, or: jMedici collar this shape is shown in beaver. Persian j lumb and scal-skin, while it is also copied in velvet; or seal-cloth, lined quilted satin. Red does not recei\e so much favour jast now, preference being given to rich plum or ie. uui tints, which naturally show a red shade, however. Browus are to the front again, especially notice- able being bark brown, otter, colfee, tabac, and beige tints. Deep blues are very fashionable, therefore serge! holds its own, the newest make showing a decided coarse twill or diagonal eifect. So prominent is blue, that it is introduced in all the new ,which are mostly of a bluish tiut, aui are very soft and becoming. Everything seems to have a touch of plaid about it, all the new woollens show more or i-os. of the check or plaid finish, while stripes are also to the! front. Quite large are some of the nlaids, but in subdued colouring. Ilome-spans are muoh in de- mand, not the plain kind so long kuowu, but beautiful pattern designs, some of whom have a looped or astrachan effect produced by loose curled loops. With the new woollens of quite dark shades a brightness is afforded them by the introduction of a. few broken lines in silk, just enough to relieve the sombreness, and yet in no way calculated to' make them one bit conspicuous.

Many of the new jackets show the shaped, or i Medici collar, and eome houses employ tartan silks for lining. The majority of the new woollens run double width, this being preferable for many reasons, as double-width goods cut up more economically, and,1 save much trouble when arranging draperies on tba Gross. The Alhenaum eays: AVe are gld, to hear ttiat the reports that have been flying about regarding', thb hoalth of Mr. Louis Stevenson are quite erron- eous. In fact, he has had cnly one attack of hemmorrhage since he left England. He finds the climate of Sydney rather cold; that is the founda- tiou for the rumours of ill-health." First medals in the annual Art Exhibition at Munich have been obtained by Mr. Ouless and Mr. Hamo Thorneycroft, the well-known English artists an t M. Dillens, of Brussels Mr. Paterson, of Glasgow and Mddle. Therese Schwartz, of Amsterdam and Marianne Stokes, of London, .have been awarded second-class medals. •
