Ur eijufitj. Lord Hatherlv laid the foundation stone of a memorial thuicb to the late Dr. Hook, at Leeds, on Saturday. The cost s to be about The memorial to the late Dr. Dykes, the musical tdlttlr of '-Hymns Ancient and Modern," has reached the very substantial total of JB10,000. The Bishop of Durham has written to the Archbishop •f York suggesting that the county of Northumberland should be constituted a separate See, and offering 10 relinquish £1,500 per annum of his own income, if an additional £1,000 a year is provided by private contribu- tion for the endowment of such new bishopric. An appeal is being made for funds for restoring and inaptoving the church of the Holy Trinity, at Birken- head. Already the body of the church has been r". pewed, the chancel floor raised, and temporary stalls placed in it; and it is now contemplated removing ihe wrgftn from the west gallery to the chancel, and to have the wbole of the interior of the sacred edifice re-painted. One member has Iffered to paint at his own expence the lower walls of the nave, and subscriptions are urgently needed to defray the cost of doing the other portions. Those of our readers who are anxious to assist in the work Icali gain full information from the vicar or ahurchwardens.

TUHKi-Y. There has been a change in the Turkish ministry. Redif Pasha has been appointed minister of war in the place of Abdul Kerim Pasha, who retains the post of commander-in-chief of the army. The Sultan on Sun- day received a number of public officials and bankers.

CANADA. A terrific fire occurred on Sunday, at St. Hyacinthe, a tewn in Canada East, 30 miles hem Montreal. It com- pletely destroyed the main three parallel streets of the town. The post oiice, the market, the court house, three banks, several factories, and eighty stotes togethei with 500 other buildings were entirely burnt down. The loss is roughly estimated at 2,000,0000 dollars.

HORRIBLE ATROCITIES IN BULGARIA. The London daily papers continue to give details of the horrible atrocities in which the Turks have indulged in Bulgaria. Writing from Vienna on St. Bartholomew's Day, the Times correspondent iays that the English re- port give evidence, in it great degree confirmatory, of the results of the American investigation. Take the fate of Batok as an example. Of the population, from 1,800 to 2,000 are said to have escaped. The bodies were all lying unburied. Mr Baring and his interpreter, who first visited tho place, scared a pack of more than 100 wild dogs, who were holding their hideous feasts on these mutilated remains. The bodies lay in heaps, especially in the church and on the market-place—heaps nf torn, mangled and severed limbs; among them 110 bodies of the infants could be seen, as the dogs had left nothing but the bones they could not crunch. In many instances the authorities, both civil and military, were the abettors, if not the instigators, of the deeds, and ghared the plunder. In all cases they were too remiss and incapable to attempt repression. The report of Mr Schuyler, the American consul-general, gives horribly disgusting details. He visited many towns and villages where the atrocities and massacres were commited bv the Turks. He says the Bulgarian insurgent villages made little or no resistance. In m <ny instances they surren- dered their arms upon the first demand. Nearly all the villages which were attacked by the Bashi-Bazouks were burned and pillaged, as were also those which had been abandoned by the terrified inhabitants. The inhabit, ants of some villages were massacred after exhibitions of the most ferocious cruelty, and the violation of women and girls. These crimes were commirted by the regular troops as weil as by the Bashi-Bazouks. The number of villages which were burned in whole or in part in the districts of Plnlipopolis, Roptchus, and Tatar-Balar- jlk is at least sixiy-five. Four monasteries were also burned. Mr. Schuyler estimates the number killed in the districts named at 15,000. The manner in which the troops did their work will be teen from a few details gathered on the spot from persons who escaped from the massacre. Perustitsa, a town of 400 houses, and between 3 000 and 4,000 inhabitants, took no active part in the in-urrection. Becoming alurmed at the attitude of the Turks in the neighbouring villages, the inhabitants sent a deputation to Aziz Pacha, the Mu- tessarif of Philipopolis, for regular troops to defend them. He returned them a written message that he bad no troops to send, and that they must defend them- selves. When the Bashi-Bnzouks appeared before the town they iherelore refund to surrender, entrencheoi in a church, te.reating finally to another, and held ou for five days, until they saw the regular troops under Rashid Pacha, when the remainder gave themselves up. Many of the inhabitants escaped at the beginning of the struggle but many were shot down. The church was bombarded, and about 1,000 in all wore killed-many of them women and children. The town was pillaged and compleiely barned, not a single house being now standing. Many women were violated. The floor of 'he church, the churchyard, and many of the gardens were dug up afterwards in search of buried treasure. KopTlshtilu (Avrat-Alan), although one of the first villages to rebel, was one of the last to be attacked. Warned by the fate of Klrssnra and Panagarishta, the leading inhabitants themselves arrested the ringleaders of the insurrection an 1 sent to Philipopolis for regular troops. In spite of this the bereh of submission were fired on, and one, the priest Dotnrho, was killed, the town was several times piilaged, many of the women were violated, and about thirty persons were killed. Panaunhta (Otluk-kui) was attacked by a force of regular troops. After a slight opposition on the part of he insurgents the town was taken. Many of the in- habitants jLd, but about 3.000 were massacred, the most oftham being women and children. Of these about, 400 belonged to the town of Panagurisbta, and the others to nine neighbouring villages, the inhabitants of which had tak*n refuge there. Four hundred buildings, including the bazaar and the largest and best, houses, were burned. both churches were completely destroyed, and almost levelled to the ground. In one tn old man was burnt alive. Two of the schools were burned, the third —looking I ke a prlTate-bouse escaped. From the nu- meroua slatemenis made it. seeme hardly a woman in the town escape J violation and brutal treatment. The ruff- ians attacked children ot eight and old women of eighty, sparing neither ne nor sex. Old men had their eyes torn out and tliur limbs cut off, and were then left to die, unless some more charitably disposed man gave them the final thrnsu Babes were cariied triumphantly on the points of bayonets and sabres, while little ch 1- dren were made to bear the diipping heads of their comrades. This scene of rapine, lust, and murder was continued for three days, when the su vIvors were made to bury tho bodies of the dead. The perpetrators of ;hese atrocities were cheifly regu.ar t'oops. While pi lage reigned supreme at Koprishtitsa and lust at Pana- Kunhla, at Batah the Turks seemed to have no stronger passion than the thirst for blood. This village sur- rendered without firing a shot, after a promise of safetv, to the Basili B.zuiiks under the con-nn md of Ahmed Agn If Burutin", « chief of the rural police. Despite h s promise, the few arms once surrendered, Ahmed Aga, ordered the destruction of the village and the indiscri- minate slaughter of the inhabitants, about 100 young girls being reserved to satisfy the lust of the conqueror before they too should be killed. I saw their some with the flesh still clinging to them, in the hollow on the hill side, where the dogs were gnawning them. Not a house is now standing in the midst of this lovelv valley. The saw mills—for the town had a large tride in timber and sawn boards—which hned ti e rapid little river, are all burnt, and of the 8,000 inhabitants not 2,000 are known to survive. Fully 5,001"} persons, a very large proportion of them women aud children perished here, and their bones whiten he ruins, or their putrid bodies infect the air. The siifht of Batak is enough to verify all that has been id about the acts of the Turks in repressing the Bulgarian insurrection. And yet I saw it. three months after the massacre. On everv side were human bones, skulls, ribs, and even complete skeletons, heads of girls still adorned with braids of long hair, bones of children, skeletons still encased in clothiug. Here was a house the floor of which was white with the ashes and cnareu bones of thirty persons burned alive there. Here was the spot where the village notable Trandafil was spitted on a pike 8Ld then roasted, and where he is nolV buried there wa a foul hole full of decomposing bodies, here a mil) dam filled with swollen corpses j here the school house, wheie two hundred women and children who had taken refuge there were burnt alivi, and heie the church and churchyard, where fully a thousand half decayed forms were still to be seen, filling the enclosure in a heap several feet high, arms, feet, and heads protruding from the stones which h td vainly been thrown there to hide them, and poisoning all the air.

THE TERRIBLE TRAGEDY IN SOUTH WALES. TO TIE EDITOR OF THE GUARDIAN SLB,—I have been requested by the daughters of the late Mr Johnes, of Doiancothy, to convey their Ueliugs of gratitude to their countrymen, who. at the Wrexham National Eisteddvod, expressed, by a silent, solemn vote, a nation's sympathy with them in their great bereave- ment. Their own words will more effectually, and bu more eloquently, accomplish their purpose than any 1 can find. May I therefore ask the favour of your inserting in your next impression the accompanying letter — I ain, sir, yours. &c., JOHN GHIFFITHS. The Rectory, Neath, Sept- 1st, 1870.

WLLEXHAM NATIONAL EISTEDDVOD. TO THB tDITOR OF THE GUARDIAN. SIB,—I always thought that the Wrexham Eis- teudvod would be a great success, because the townspeople went about the preliminaries as though they meant business. I imagined the meetings would be too long, from the great number of the prizes set down. Wnat a comfort it would be to all, officials and audience, if the many meetings could be concluded at two o'clock, and the concerts at eight. I thought that speeches should not be introduced, until the proper work of the Eisteddvod meetings was concluded. I do not see why speakers should en- deavour to elevate the Welsh Eisteddvod, by depreciat- ing the pastimes of other people, and 1 think all sucit allusions to be mischievous. Excited speeches give the English press a fund of matter to take objection to, more than can be done in the work of the Eisteddvod itself. A little more music, less speaking, and fewer prizes awarded, would have made the morning meetings less tiresome. The excited remarks maue by one adjudicator were in rather bad taste. The gentleman seemeu to be smacking his nursing grandmother in the lacc- uf course his hotheaded and passiouate paroratnn was bailed with delight by the English press, and the allusions to Taffy's flapùooule; IUj-Lhs," rampant humbug," &c., was quite a delicious plum for them. 1 did tnink there was much truth in a complaint which appeared, from the reporter ol a Liverpool pa pet, alluding to the length of the adjudications, at least, those connected witn harps and harp playing, which the writer thought we had had at our recent meetings ad nets turn. Upon the whole, I think that the Wrexham meeting ol 187(3 is the most brilliant an Old Eisteudioda r lias ever attended, and I only mention the above, so that the next Eisteddvod may, when possible, improve, even upon the one just concluded.

WREXHAM ART TREASURES EXHIBITION. LECTURE ON THE OLD MASTERS On Monday afternoon, the first of two lecturea wai delivered by lr Forbes Robertson, a gentleman of lome ceIbrity as an art critic, t-o a small but select audince iu the Art Gallery of the above Exhibition, the uubjcct being The worb of the Old Masters." Major West introduced the lecturer as a entleman who "was well known in the world of art, and whom they con. lIidered Tery fortunate in being able to get there for the purp08e ot giving twø intereliting lectures. This lecture would enter on the Continental 8011.0018 of painting aa illustrated in this gallery; while the second lecture on Fri. day would be devoted to the British school. They were well aware there were a number of people who came to this magnificent Exhibition who could not be expected to be well up in the technical dillerences eristing in the T&r1.0U8 Bchools j and when the promoters started this Exhibition, it was with the object of making it as educationa1a.s p083ible, and the gentleman whose services they had engaged was well capable of instructing most of those who were there II.8sembled. IN umbers came there who positively hardly cast a fclanoe at the pictures. He heard an amusing anecdote from a friend of his the other day. Speaking to a Tery intelligent fellow countryman, he said, '■ Well John, how chd you like the Exhibition ?" HiB reply WJUl, WeU, it ÍM a grand place; I never 83W so many chairs in my life before" (iausthter). That waa not what they invited people there for aad however interesting the chairs might be, probabll John might be induced, upon a 88COnd vilit, to look at the pictures on the waUII. He only wished he had been there that 6iay, in order that he might Bee the best of the pictures, and hear of the interesting historical associations connected with them. In concJU8ion, he trusted that the lectare on Friday eTe would be better attended than the rrllSent one. Mr Forbes Eobertson, on coming forward, was well received. He said that considering the very short time he had to pre- pare this lecture he was sure they would excuse him in read* ing it, He laboured in doing!lO under a greAt disadvantage; because a lecturer snould always, if possible, look biø audience in tr. face, ana he should be sure to lose his place otwu, ùUl .1 1.e might judge by the patience with which they l1",tenoo to e', L'lyt1;ng that went on last week at the isted1\ od, he was jure they would erlend every Bort of 00li,nder..non to. w.ra.- hilll {applause J. On entering a building duvoted ab that was to a display of worn vt art one naturally trit.(1 on the threshold to servey the gencim e^ect, and to ascertain how far architecturally and decmltl vely the erection fw. tilled its functions. At the sarlie tlm", "hile drawing his the visitor would keep Jll mil d the difficulties as tD titue and space with which the architect had to contend and would consequently be slow to apply the strict ralæ of criticism to an eroctiuli intended to last only thrpe months. Having auocnied some 01 these difficulties, and "hown how in the mutter of light the architect hadùeeu more BUC0e88flll than tne designer of the W eatmmster Aquarium, who had maoiaged to throw one side of a yailery 01 picture and the public as well into Rem lJr-ante eiii ;ro-scuro, the lecturer went au to speat: of the decorations.

Praise was also bestowed ül1 the mono-chromatic tones which the artist had introduced in the ee and principals, on the be3.lltÜllJ manner 1Jå waich the medallion portraits in distempoèr had been executed lD the triangular Bpaces, and on the maateriy J:1.:¡ndling 01 the Prince of Wales's plume at the other eud 01 the hall, which was a marvel of colour tuat would not shame the most glorious period of mono-chromatic u. c --nv art u «aa ei\ succeeumg that of Michael AnVeJO.. t iir Laker, 01 Che.>t"r; was & born dt;corat<,r, ùl1d any country night be proud Gf him (applause;.

CHURCH SERVICES. [he Church Lists should reach our Office by Thursday, otherwise we cannot insert them].

MBS. RILEY AND HER CONVICTIONS TO THE EDITOR OF THE GUAHDIAN. SIR,—As it was stated in court on Mpnday that Mrs Mary Riley had been 25 times before the magistrates, on charges of various kinds, and that she had bee;, convicted for drunkenness eleven times, 1 wish to inform the magistrates as well as the public at large- that such a statement is a gross exaggeration, and as the bench took the verbal statement of the police hI that effect into consideration when, fixing the punish ment to be awarded they have committed a injustice to Mrs RIley. She has only beeu convicteu twelve times altogether, the other cases, which were trumped up, having been withdrawn without gotni. before the court at all. It is unjust to take the men word of a policeman every previous conviction shoulu be proved oil outh to be legally taken into consideration, ami in permitting such an irregularity as occurred in this case, justice is not executed, neither is the iruu, maintained, nor the ends of justice honestly attained. Thanking you for inserting this,—I am, yours truly, WILLIAM RILEY,

RHUDDLAN FLOWER SHOW TO THB EDITOR OF THE GOAKDIXN. SIB,—Kindly allow me. through the medium of your valuable paper, to relate a circumstance that caused 110 little dissatisfaction at the flower suow helu ;.1 ihuddlan Castle, on Thursday last. It was announced in the catalogue that three prizes would be give.j for the best, second, ann third best''store or bacon ¡Jigs." The first prize was carried oft by a person from Dysenh, whilst the second was awarded to a Mr John joues, of St. Asaph. The decision of the judges appears to have been anything but satisfactory, the vox popuii being entirely in the favour of Mr Jones, and that the first prize ought decidedly to have beeu a^arued io him. How this erronious decision v\ as arrived at by the judges is more than can be accou ted for, aa no doubt the gentlemen who were appointed by the committee to perform the work were equally as competent a" those who acted as judges on former occasions.—Your; obediently, 4th September, 1876.
