FRANCE.
FRANCE. M. Thiers was baried in Paris on Saturday. The religious ceremony was celebrated at the Church of Notre Dame do Lorette, the Archbishop of Paris having refused to sllow it to be performed at the much larger Church of the Madeleine, on the ground that it was not a state funeral. The remains weretinrerred at the ceme- tery of Fere Ie Chaise, six orations being delivered at the grave sidle by :\1M." Jules Grevy, Jules Siman, Julea Favre, Sylvestre ae Sacy (in the name of the French Academy), and Vitry (on behalf of the Academy of Moral and Political Sciences). There was an immense crowd along the whole route of the funeral procession. Perfect order was preserved, and the cortege passed along in silence, except that a cry of Vive la Kepub- liqte" was occasionally raised, but was immediately chequed by the Republican leaders in the procession. Thr coffin was hidden "from view by the wreaths with which it was covered. The members of the committee of the Left Party in the Senate have sent to Madame Thiers an address thanking 'her on behalf of tboir colleagues for jthe courage and patriotism shown by ber in preferring the spontaneous tribute of a nations respect towards her deceased husband to the restrictions cl. a state funeral. M. Oambettaand his companion in'trouble, M. Murat, publisher of the ikpabiigue Franchise, seem to have been dealt with rather harshly by the Correctional Tribunal. They were changed with insulting Marshal Mchbøn and the Ministry in a speech delivered by M. Gambetta and published in M. Murats papor. The council en- gaged by M. <?aaibetta was unable to discharge his duty owing to an attack tt paralysis, aad another council de- clined to take the case on tbe ground of insufficient notice. Application was therefore made for an adjourn- ment of the trial; but this being refused, neither of 'the defendants appeared on Tuesday before the Tribunal, which passed upon M. Gambetta a sentence of three months imprisonment, and ordered him to pay a. Sne of two thousaed francs. Gambetta has lodged an appeal against the sentence.
------__-_-_-------_-THE WAR.
THE WAR. GKLlT BATTLE AT PLE? <?. A. A WEEK'S BOMBARDMENT. Bunaj the last ten days the events in BKigt.r.a have been of the greatest possible significance, and the crisis of the 'i'.r may said to have been reached. €E Fridav morning the Kusso-KacDaanian column around Plevna, said to number 100,000 iaec, began to ciGse in nearer to the Terkish position, under cover of a fierce artillery fire, Very little progress appaars to have been mf-de on that d-iy, but the attack was renewed next morning, and it is ciaimsd in a despatch fiom the Russian headquarters thattcwardB evening their left wing succeeded in occu- pviu £ certain heights south of the town. As a loss of 500.is admitted in tbit: portion of the attazking force. while the despatch says thHt" our losses m the centre and on the right wiufj are not great, 00 the whole," it may be safely assumed th&t the assail&cts suffered | severely in achieving what seems to be a-very modified success. On Sunday and Monday of Plevna was being continued The Emperor of Russia was1 present en the sold of battle. According to a Simes telegram from'the Russian bead-quarters the troops were to assault the strong- holds on Friday. The fire of the artillery from the batteries was supported by heavy gucs scattered along the allied position. Field bari-teriee posted iccre closely to the works aided in Ike bombard- ment and searched out the trenches with shell, while the heavy.f^uns scourged the parapets of the redoubts with fire. It was anticipated in th. Itessian camp thet this heavy cannonade would so dismantle the defensive works and cow the spirit of the garrison that the assault wosld be delivered <OCL Friday afternoon. The storming columns were by that time ready formed, and lay:in advance of the batteries among the standing iIndian corn, which clothes the undulating ground, while the shells from either side whistled over their heads. The supports reserves were also held ready to advance, but kept out of fire on the .-reverse slopes of the hills on which the batteries were placed. But the bombardment did not effect the results that were expected fiom it, and when the-enn went down I mot only were the Turkish guns not silenced, but they were answering energetically to the fire of the field batteries of the attack. Ey Sunday, heavier guns were brought up and the bombardment pro- ceeded. But the landmarks chosen fcy the Russian officers to regelate the aim of their artillery- men during the darkness muet have been in- accurately choscn, for each morning saw repaired the damage done to the Ottoman parapets during the previous day, and the Turkish artillery kept re opening fire with undiminished force. For ceveral days the Russian infantry mzjs, drawn out ready to make the assault; each evening the battalions were-cent back to their bivouacs without 'being led to the attack. The only success that the Russian official account of September 11th could claim, was the capture by General £ kobelef, the hero of Lovatz, on one of the heights neighbouring to Plevna. This" it is said, would enable the Mus- covite guns to bombard the enemy's positions and tie town itself. The advantage thuc gained has dot been productive of any decisive result. The three redoubts between Gravitz and Plevna, which form the key of the outer Turkish line of defence, zree still so little injured that the Russian engineers recoil from the idea of sending columns forward with the view of earrying them by escalade. It is thcught that there is a possibility of the Russian bombardment dying away from the arkaustion of stores. The roali towards Widdinna.s pparently hoon left open, and by this the Turfc can draw their food and supplies. THE BATTLE OF KAZALIIPX). Details of this battle fought last weak, have been received. It began ty an attack upon the part of the Russians on the advance posts of the Turkink armv on the plateau between Vhe Beli Lorn and the iEara Lorn. The Turks being reinforced, took the offensive, and drove them back to their entrenchments. Further troopti.arriving, the Tuiks carried the entrenchments by storm. About mid-day the Russians, having lost their hold oc the entrenchmer.ts, retired ia confusion .down the heighte-into the valley of the Kara Lam, and At once crossed the river, under aover of their guns. -8G eager were the Turks that one battalion, led by its major, crossed the river and mounted the heights into Ablava. Finding itcelf unsupported; and in danger of being sur- rounded it fell back to the river. The Russian account states that the Russians were much inferior in numbers, and defended their position with great obstinacy but were compelled at last to fall back on Ostriaa with great loss. The Russian 6elumn at Ablava was also assailed by ■& large force, but repulsed all attacks, and maintained its position. Ga Saturday the Turkish advance was renewed. Nednt Pacha crossed the river with kis divisbn, and After a severe struggle occupied Opaca, a village lying about half way between Popkei and Ablava. The Turkish lost in the encounter was six hundred men. In consequence of this reverse the Russians evacuated Popkoi, and fee surrounding country and fell back by the Biela road. j Since this battle Mehemet AU seems to have been very apathetic. A ureek has passed since he fought the action. But the Cesarewitch's army was allowed to fall back leisurely without being hampeced in its retreat, and permitted, without moleetalion, to take up fresh positions to bar the passage of the Jantra, Nor as yet have we 'any account that it has been here assailed. The troops of Mehemet seem to be exercised in parade move- ments a.nd driltgrollnd manoeuvres in the highlands between the Levi: nd the Jantra, when they should be hurryinft by forced usareheE to the relief uf PlevD CAPTURE OF NICKSIC3. Nickaics has at last fallen. The Montenegrins carried all the defences, and the garrison and inhabitants were permitted to retire to Gatcho, and effected their retreat in safety. The fall of Nicksics will be a matter of great mortification to the Turks but frem a military point of view, it ought never to have been defended, for its position is entirely isolated, and the only approach being up the Duga Pass, its relief has cost the Turks thousands of men, who might have been of vital use upon the Danube. This event probably closes the Montenegrin campaign for the year, as the season is too far advanced to render active operations much longer possible. THE ATTITUDE OF SERVIA. The Servians have been waiting the result of events at Plevna before embarking in the war. It is reported at I Belgrade from Turn Severin that the Prefect there has been ordered to have everything in readiness for 50,000 men of the Russian Army, who will march through Turn Seuerin on their way to cross the Danube and enter Servian territory. During the march the Staff will remain in Turn Severin. On the Servian bank every- thing is prepared for the crossing of the Russians. Operations will be directed against Widin and Sophia, while on the Drina the Servians will keep a corps of I observation. The acknowledged Turkish loss in the Shipka Pass amounts to 12,000 men, the flower of the army. It is said the Russfcns have removed the bridge at Pirgos and taken it to Petroscau. higher up the river. The officers of the English fleet in Besika Bay have subscribed a considerable stun in aid of the Turkish wounded. I Important operations were, according to the latest intelligence received from Erzeroum, shortly expected in 1 the Ardahan districts. j There is no foundation whatever for the rumours of negotiations for an alliance between Greece and Russia binding the former to military intervention against Turkey. According to intelligence received at Constanti- nople, on Wednesday, from Shumla, Suleiman Pasha had crossed the Balkans and occupied Bostefe, south of Gabrova. The Porte is about to require all foreigners coming to Turkey te have a passport, which must be exhibited to some Turkish authority before the holder can quit the Sultan's territory. When travelling in railway carriages in Bulgaria the Circassians kept worrying the guard by firing out of the windows. Anything just in sight, from a. Bulgarian girl in a red petticoat to a buffalo, served as marks for them. It is stated that immediately 'after the fighting at Shipka the British Government addressed the question to the Powers whether they did not think the moment opportune for attempting mediation The answers are said to have been encouraging. The Etrperor of Germany telegraphs his good wishes to the Russian regiment bearing his name, trusting that its colours will be adorned with fresh laurel wreaths, in the present war, and that the regiment will come out of the fight as brilliantly as his own soldiers did seven ye&rs ago. i Seme difficulty has arisen between the Porte &nd the Khedive on account of the Egyptian Convention respect- ing the suppression of the slave trade in the Red Sea. The Porte objects that the clause respecting the right of search aad seizure exceeds the powers of the Kheiivej as it partly relates to waters which are entirely Ottoman. The Russians report that at the capture of .1 of Loftcha, on the Srd instant, they took two Turkish standards and a quantity of arms and ,ammunition. They baried 2,200 of the Turkish dead. A large number of Turks were sabred by the cavalry in the pursuit. The Russian loss did not exceed 1,000 men. Prince Charles has issued a proclamation to the 1/. Roumanians, dated from his head-cuarters at Poudim, in which he details the reasons which have imperatively required him to take up arsis against Turkey. The address concludes thus —" By the side of the Russian ifiag, on which is inscribed The emancipation of the Christian peoples of the East/ we raise the Roumanian flag, which bears the device Independence of Roumania"

TEE ASSISTANTS' EAILL.Y CLOSING MOVEMENT AT WREXHAM- TO THE CDITOR OF TRK GUARDIAN. Sir,—Kindly allow me through the medium of the t&uardian to call attention to the above move- ment. Once more the drapers' assistant*; are making an effort to obtain early closing of the respective places .of business at which they are employed, and tæ get some fhours universally adopted at which all drapery establishments should cease tc be open at & certain time. At present we have no stated hours of closing, but every one followe his own course independently. The disadvantages of such a state of things, both to employer and employed is apparent, as it also pladte the tradesmen vrho close first at a disadvant- age, besides which every draper, ts well as his assistants, know that t1:.3 business transacted durirg our present long hours could easily be condensed into a shorter space of time, without inconvenient and from a point of economy as well as duty to the assistants, ajrould be advisable. The hours which we hope by the consent of our employees eventually to establish, a.re seven o'clock ordinal^- evenings, eight o'cloei on Thursday, and ten o'clock on Saturday, which the general public, I am sure, will agree with us, is quite long enough to be con- fined in the unhealthy atmosphere of our gas-lighted shops. Our present hours of closing are too late, to admit of us attending any meetings for our amuse- assent or instruction which maybe held in the town. The proposed hours would secure us this benefit, as well as add a, little to our limited hours of rre- a&oa and mental culture. I think that a fair consideration of these state- ments will elicit on our side the public sympathy, and secure to us their universal co-operation: T say j co-operation, for by making their purchases early in the d&y, they can materially assist us in our < efforts. | We ask only what iø allowed to citr more fortun- ate fellow aeeistanter in neighbouring towns, and wfcat ha. horc enjoyed by OUT. predeoesHoro it. Wrexham at a time when business was much more brisk and more difficulties stood in the way than is the case at present. We hope therefore that this, our reasonable not be disregarded by our employers when the deputation calls upon them. ONE OF THEM.
LLANGOLLEN LOCAL BOARD \1.…
LLANGOLLEN LOCAL BOARD \1. THE CLERK. TO THE EDITOR OF THE GUARDIAN. That inasmuch as Mr Richards is professionally employed by 80 numy conflicting interests, and th£r{Yy unable im- partially to advise the board, it is inexpedient that he should continue to act as its clerk." SIR,—This is the resolution of a well-known caucus meeting of members of the board hatched in camera obscura, and which for the first time saw the light of day in a public meeting which was duly reported in your columns in the early part of August last. This is a serious charge to bring against a professional man, for it implies pro- fessional dishonesty. How was this charge sus- tained ? After much flippant talk about doing what was disagreeable, &c., and after a vain attempt te trap the clerk into resignation, the chairman gravely summed up the grievances of the board into two heads—Mr Richards was clerk to the magistrates and also secretary to the railway company, and therefore he could not impartially advise the board. Hence we must conclude that the interests of the Llangollen Local Board are, or soon will be in coniict with the bench of magistrates and the railway directors. When pressed, however, the chairman was forced to admit that there was no actual conflict between these august bodies, but that he was simply advancing a suppositious case; thus admitting that on the strength of supposed conflicting interests the clerk must be summarily dismissed after twenty years' service with a sup- posed slur on his character. This is the sum and substance of the whole case as stated by the chair- man and it is perfectly astounding that eight men can be found walking the streets of Llangollen who have the audacity to face the public with such a trumped-up indictment as this. Surely this can- not be the real reason why Mr Richards is so sum- marily dismissed. What can it be ? The public have a right to know. As the case was bad, so also were its supports. No one knows better than the chairman, whatever may be his own advanced ideas with regard to Bible truths, the great respect which Welshmen have for Holy writ. Hence he must needs pander to this respect for the grand old book by misquot- ing from its Holy pages. No one knew better than he did what a clever thing it was to misquote Scripture in suc-L company, but he must have for- gotten for the ncnce the signal failure which speedily overtook the first one who eared knowingly to misquote Scdpture for his own fell purposes. The bait was greedily swallowed by an honourable M.B., who, in support of the chairman, said in great simplicity of heart "That as Mr Richards had so many offices-at least three—the Bible had long ago settled the whole question: for it is impossible two masters, That we know is unanswerable as regards wisdom and truth; and therefore upon that ground I think Mr Richards cannot say that it is proper to do that which the Bible says is not right." Let the author of this remarkable speech read the context of his garbled misquotation and ponder upon its application. How sad to see men who are leagued together to shut out the Bible from our board schools thus lugging it in so unceremoniously into their Local Board to settle a disreputible squabble by a misquotation. It must indeed be a bad case which claim no better support. There are also of the number of our local M.B.'s two who are commissioned to represent the Majesty of the Crown on the magisterial bench of Llan- gollen. The chairman of th-e boarr-d when it suits his purpose plays off one of these trumps against the other. One of them nobly stood out for the honour of the bentt. and beidly repudiated the idea of having anything to do with caucus meetings and short notices, -&o. He went in for public meetings and for everything open and abovefcoard. Mr Richards- had never given partial, and therefore dishonest advice to the magistrates. It was an insult to the benches well as its clerk to make any such insinuations. The other magis- irate supported the resolution, and wrote even from iParis on its behalf, in <2rder to eep the team tight to vote as dummies as they had promised to do in -the notorious caucus meeting which he had also | attended. By such sc. course this M.B. stands self- condemned, fox if Mr Kichards is not fit to be clerk to the Local Board, c fotihri, he is not fit to be I' clerk of the magistrates and secretary to the rail- way company, of which it eeems that this M.B. is also a director. How can this M.B. serve the Local Board and the Beach; and'the railway company— these conflicting iEtereste—how can he serve so many masters a cashier the clerk for dsing the same thing ? Such is the dilemma in which he has placed himself. Others *are also in a similar dilemma, for scsse of then have something to do with the gas company, and we know as a matter of fact that our Local Boa?dis often in conflict with this company. The purity of the board demands that they should resign their seats, for it seems that no man who has -any other interest to serve can, at the sasn-e timer~eerve the Llangollen Local Board. There is a very Tulgar tone about the "whole debate. The only idea vhich the members seem to have of their relation to their clerk is that of master, and he their humble servant at.£25 a year. Is jit not ratter an honorary office, and one of mutual trust and confidence ? To this it may be said that after 30 years of faithful service the present members have lest all trust and confidence in their clerk;, and wish to change him. Be it so. But why not do this in an open manner ? Why call a caucus meeting in camera obscura, where assertions seem to have been made that cannot stand the test of daylight. Much stress is laid upon the impossibility of Mr Richards acting in a double capacity without being partial either to the bench or to the board. Is it not'possible that members of the board may have Acted in a double capacity of that they have dared to say in the dark aboat MriRiehards what they would not venture to state in open daylight ? It appears to me and to many others that the resolution at the head of this letter if it is fairly to represent what has been said and done, should be revised and stand thus;—" That; inasmuch as Mr Richards is profeasionaltvempJoyed by Squire Bieirin as his agent, and the board have been signally beaten by the squire in their injudicious lawsuit with him, it is expedient in the face of such conflicting interests to cashier the agent after repeated iaitures to crtish the squire and to dismiss hiznfrom being clerk to the Llangollen Local Board: Is not such a policy ae this liable to the imputation of appearing a spiteful policy, and that 'by a public board acting in their public capacity:? I will not farther trespass upon your valuable space to-day, but will en another occasion-ehow that the advice which the. clerk gave to thesehool board in their squabble with Squire Dickie was the best possible advice, and if they had acted upon it they >would have saved the public purse mueh ucaecesary .expense, and tfeemseh es much discredit.

THE LATE INQUEST AT DENBIGH.
THE LATE INQUEST AT DENBIGH. TO THE EDITOR OF THE CTIAKDIAN. SIR,—1 have read Another Observer's." letter in your paper of last Saturday on the above subject, pur- porting to be a reply to my strictures. The letter so entirely fails to answer them, and is so evidently intended to sou-ad a blast for the Coroner, that, but for one sentence, I should have treated the poor effort with silent contempt. Another Observer gives as a reason for net calling -Dr Hughes the Coroner's desire to save the county the amount of a fee. He either is or pretends to be ignorant of the law which prevents an ofneer of a public institution receiving the usual honorarium for medical »videcce in cases where the isquiry is concern- ing a death in a public hospital, so that t'natconsideratioe can Dot have formed any ground for his conduct. Bet assamin? the case had been otherwise, and that Br Hughes's evidence would have tost the county one guinea, surely it was the Coroner's duty to have availed himself of it, rather than have acocpted the evidence cfc-s gentleman who had not seen the patient for four days before he died. Let "Another Observer" ecpkm this coaciuct of tie Coroner if he can, rather than waste time and fulaoce words in praise of him.—Yours, i&c., 0BSEET«3X,
TEE ALLEGED POLICE IRREGULARITIES…
TEE ALLEGED POLICE IRREGULARITIES FLINTSHIRE. TO THE EDITOR OF TEE GUARD:AN. Sis.—You will greatly oblige by allowing me a sze&Il space in your paper to correct a report which I lead in one of the Wrexham papers the 8th inst., ucder the above heading. The wnter says he is glad that-soace of the irregularities indulged in are likely to befllrther bought to the notice of the that there are many kinds of them, and not the least serious is the fact th&t it often occurs'ihat prisoners are\tept for forty-eight hours in the cells without being brought before a magistrate, I j and in defiance of the law. When such f agrant ir- regularities as the one reported last week, the keeping, of ittdividuals more than twenty-four hours in custody without a lawful remand, and the searching of booses vithout warrants, are contiwarily and persielently io- bulged in, the powers that be would do well to inquire into the circumstances and see whether a reform cannot II be effected." I cannot for the life of me find where the writer Habeas Corpus" has received his informative from. He weald do well if he-would only try again and see if he cannot get at the trcth of all the above assor- j tiens, for he aeems to have lest himself in lo7e to the police and has lost all control >cf truthfulness of reporL t am not aware of any one that he refers to having been j leaked up lasi week that had been in the lock-up more than 24 hours The man referred to was waly taken into custody-at about 7.30 pm. on Saturday evening, ] and he was brought before the magistrates et 11 a.m. 1 oc the following Monday, so the prisoner could not be brought sooner unless this (i well-wisher of the police < be able to get the law changed and get magistrates to take the Bench on Sundays. Neither am I aware that ¡ prisoners are kept for 48 hours>without a remd, unless the prisoner locked up of. Saturday and kept till Monday. Sometimes the magistrates are very difficult to be had. I am, not aware that any houses have been searched by the police without e warrant for some years past- It is easily seen that the writer has been at a loss to know hew best to cooepliment the Flintshire ¡ police. 1 am -afraid he has gk en vent to his private feeding and has forgotten the acany kind terms he lias received at the "èands of the Flintshire police.—Yours I k, FAIR PLAT.
