THE ESTABLISHED CHURCH. ARCHDEACON FFOULKES proposes to be inducted into the Rectory of Whittington—probably by the Kev. Canon Howell Evans—next Sunday before morning service, when the van. archdeacon will read himself in. THE MANAGEMENT OF THE CHURCH OF ENGLAND.— Mr. Cross, in the course of an address on the occasion of the laying of the foundation-stone of a new church at Widnes, on Wednesday, referred to several topics having reference to the general management and policy of the Church of England. He said the old doctrine that when a man was ordained "he was going into the Church could not be sustained, because he was already in the Church, the people of England being the Church of England, and the clergy merely their ministers. The Church was as much the Church of the poor as the rich, and he was glad to see that churches were rapidly becoming free. They must not think, as formerly, when they looked upon the clergy as the Church, that the church was only to be opened on a Sunday, because it was theirs on week-days as well as on Sundays, if they liked.

mil) (blutmx litMItgma. THE NEW ROLL OF VOTERS FOR MIDLOTHIAN.—The result of the registration for Midlothian, which has been sitting for some days, is most favourable to the Con- servatives. The majority which the Conservatives have of the new voters is 144, and even if all the doubtfuls were eventually to declare themselves Liberal, which is most improbable, there would still be a Conservative majority of the new voters only of 58. SIR W. HARCOUHT ON THE GOVERNMENT. — Sir William Harcourt, speaking at a Liberal banquet at Liverpool on Monday evening, said there never was a moment when there was greater occasion for patriotic anxiety as to foreign affairs, nor when the danger was more apparent or more imminent. The fatal error of Conservative policy had always been that it had based national settlements on dynastic principles, regardless of the sympathies of the people, who were the subjects of the transaction. The policy of the Liberal party had been exactly the reverse. Referring to India, he said England was beginning at last to understand the real nature of the perils by which India was menaced. We should never get a solvent Administration in India till we decreed the triumph of that Governor General who had never declared a war nor annexed a province. In conclusion, he said the hour of battle was at hand, and the omens of victory were settling with the Liberal standards,

THE AFGHAN WAR. The Times correspondent telegraphs on Wednesday, from Char-Asiab :— Early on Monday morning the patrols on the several roads to Cabul reported that the enemy were advancing in force the heights between Char-Asiab and Cabul were soon covered with masses of the enemy, and the gorge leading to the east side of Cabul was in their possession. Towards this was sent a wing of the 92d Highlanders, part of the 23d Pioneers, three guns, G Battery 3d Brigade Royal Artillery, and the 5th Punjab Cavalry, the whole under the command of Major White, 92d Highlanders. They carried the hill on the enemy's left, losing three men killed and six wounded. A stubborn resistance was made, and the guns shelled the pass. Meanwhile General Baker, with the 72d High- landers, a wing of the 5th Goorkhas, No. 2 Mountain Battery, two Gatling guns, a wing of the Pioneers, and 100 men of the 5th Punjab Infantry, and eventually the remainder of the same regiment in support, made a turning movement on the enemy's right, debouching from the orchards of the villages. The enemy were here in great strength on a formidable position and fought well. Height after height was gallantly carried by our troops with the loss of three officers wounded—Lieutenant Ferguson, 72nd Highlanders; Dr. Duncan, 23rd Pioneers, and Captain Young, 5th Punjab, Infantry—and 70 men killed and wounded. The rear and flanks of the camp were threatened by large masses of Ghilzais ready to join in the fight. Before sunset the whole of the enemy's position was captured and his force utterly routed. Major White's Highlanders captured 12 guns, and bivouacked on the heights commanding the gorge through which lies our road to Cabul. The Ameer's party watched the proceedings eagerly from his camp adjoining that of the British. The engagement lasted nearly all day. The loss of the enemy is unknown, but the backbone of the resistance has been broken for the present. The whole country is seething. A wholesome effect is expected from the day's victory. The enemy's force is said to have been eleven regiments with artillery and immense numbers of hillmen. During the whole day Sir Frederick Roberts, who directed the various movements from the camp, received invaluable assist- ance from the Army Signalling Department, under Captain Stratton, 22d regiment, whose arrangements by flag when it was cloudy and by heliograph when there was sunshine were perfect. The Ameer is reported to have lost his hold on Bala Hissar, where his family has been left.

IRON AXD COAL. BARROW IN FURXESS, Monday. — The hemntite market is very firm, and there are st ill indications of upward tendency. A considerable demand is experi- enced not only on foreign but on home account, but as makers have sold forward to so large an extent only a few new orders have been booked during the past week. Deliveries, however, are well maintained, especially to foreign countries,, the docks at Barrow being much more actively employed than they were ever previously known to be. Prices remain steady on the basis of 60s. for No. 1 bessemer, and 58s. for all round qualities, being 10s. higher than the prices ruling two months aso. Steel miils are busily employed. Shipbuilders are better supplied with work there are, however, a large number of workmen coming to this district who cannot find work. The coal trade is steady. MIDDLESBOROUGH, Tuesday.—The quarterly market was very largely attended, and opened strong, No. 3 being done at 50s. and even 51s. net and prompt delivery, but towards the close there was a reaction, and mer- chants would not give more than 48s. and 49s. A further reduction is expected, as undoubtedly much of the increase in prices is due to speculation. Several furnaces are, however, likely to be relighted, and some have already been put in operation at the Tees iron- works, while another is being prepared at Southbank. A considerable number of inquiries have been made for I iron to be delivered next year, but makers almost in- variably decline these, as the market is so uncertain. For railway chairs, the home railways are commencing to buy largely, and prices have been put up to £3. Ship plates are up another 5s. this week. WOLVERHAMPTON, Wednesday. — The quarterly meeting this afternoon was attended by representatives of all districts. Leading Staffordshire and Shropshire pigs were quoted unchanged. Lilleshall cold blast was £45s., and hot blast £3 5s., both nominal. Marked bars were £7 10s., and Earl Dudley's £8 2s. (id., yet pigs from other districts were dearer. Barrow pigs were 70s., and Tredegar pigs 72s. Gd., one Northampton brand was raised to the prohibitive quotation of GOs. Sheets and tinplates were dearer. Coal is to be advanced on 1st November.

AGRICULTURE. AGRICULTURAL LITERATURE. Farmers in these days of general intelligence and enterprise are more fortunate than their brethren of the previous century, in having at command literature of a varied and instructive kind, relating to the theory and practice of agriculture. Such a light as is now diffused throughout the wide field of agriculture and the many enjoyments resulting from it could scarcely be dreamed of in the days gone by. During the present century there has been wonder- ful activity and advancement in this class of literature of books, pamphlets, journals, and periodicals, in relation to the science and practice of agriculture, and the various details of farming operations. A full history of the rise and progress of agricultural literature in Great Britain would in a great measure be a history of the agricultural art itself, and such a work from the hand of any qualified writer would be most interesting and suggestive to all at present engaged in farming pursuits. There is, it is true, a history of agriculture by Mr. Hoskyns, which is perhaps as full as any yet published, but this is incomplete, requiring to.be revised and continued, so as to include the ex- perience required and the progress made, to the present times. I At the first glance of the long list of agricultural works, there is a feeling of pride that the United King- dom has given birth to such able, devoted, and ex- perienced men in the domain of agriculture, who have recorded the results of their wide observations and ripe experience in the science and art of farming for the en- lightenment of those who follow them in the same comprehensive and honorable industry. The first periodical circulated on agriculture, it appears, was Roby's Farmers' Journal," commenced in about the year 1790, and that the first entire work on agriculture was The Booke of Husbandrie" by Sir Anthony Fitzherbert, published in 1534. This work is regarded as the first instalment to the agricultural literature of Great Britain. The plan of issuing journals by agricultural societies was begun by the Highland Improvers' Society (Scotland), when that society pub- lished in the year li 13 its first volume of "Transactions." It seems also that this was the first society that was formed in Great Britain for promoting agriculture. Since the days of Tull, Tusser, Rhan, and Laurence, those venerable authorities in agriculture, there has been a steady and unceasing stream of literature in almost every branch and detail of farming. This includes a choice lot of voluminous, at the same time luminous, encyclopaedias, and treaties, by well known authors, the mere mention of which, make the fingers of aspiring agriculturists itch to have them in possession. The development in this kind of literature has been most marked since the period of the general awakening with respect to the study of science, especially the science of chemistry, as applied to agriculture. This has been an excellent effect in stimulating the progress of the agricultural art, and will be so much the better for the ultimate well-being of the country. In the present day, agriculture has become with many a fashionable pursuit, and besides, there are now more enquiries than ever made into every branch of the art. Such activity and enquiry have occasioned an increasing demand for practical works respecting the principles and practice of agriculture as well as horticulture. In truth so extensive has agricultural literature become, that a great part of the science and practice connected with farming and general cultivation of the soil is recorded in books, pamphlets, and periodicals. This literature has been more especially extended during the past fifty years, as during that period most of the improvements on agriculture have been made, and scientific discoveries recorded. This activity and growth continues without intermission, and is the natural result of the combined industry and devotedness of those several pioneers in the cause of agriculture, and its literature, amongst whom may be named noblemen, country gentlemen, practical agriculturists, chemists, geologists, naturalists, en- gineers, and others in different professions. A detailed description would be requisite in order to give a fair idea of the considerable number of works that have published—say within the past fifty years only-by various authorities on agricultural science and practice, without referring at all to the many public- ations relating to the kindred subject of horticulture. Such a description however would be too long for an article like the present, and so a brief reference to the principal books must suffice. The subject will be re- sumed in this column next week. FFERM. 4th October, 1879. THE CORN TRADE.—The Mark Lane Express says- "A somewhat higher temperature has prevailed during the past week, but the weather has continued broken and unsettled. In the Midland counties the rainfall has been excessive, and harvesting has been carried on in a very desultory manner. In other parts of the United Kingdom much corn remains unstacked, as the grain was in too damp a state, when cut, to admit of its being put up. The trade opened very firmly at the beginning of the week, both in the country and at Mark-lane, and an advance of 2s. to 3s, per quarter on wheat, and fully Is. per sack and barrel on flour. A fair degree of steadiness has been preserved, the imports into London having been quite moderate, but the excitement of ten days since has been altogether wanting. In occasional instances, where sales has been pressed, sellers have accepted Is. per quarter less money, but as a rule the late advance has been maintained. Nor does there appear to be any immediate probability of a decline, judging by the probable requirements of France and Russia. Spring corn has undergone little alteration during the week. Maize has receded about 6d. per quarter."

DENBIGH SCHOOL BOARD EXPENDITURE. TO THE EDITOR OF THE GUARDIAN. SIR,—I observe a report in the Guardian setting forth that a quantity of prizes have been given to the children attending the Board Schools. Will you allow me to ask the Board through the medium of the Guardian the following questions ?—(1) Are the prizes purchased out of the funds provided by the ratepayers? (2) If so, is that a legitimate expenditure which the government auditor can sanction and is it placed before him in that form ? (3) Are the prizes given as real rewards of merit, or given indiscriminately as bribes to attract children to the Board Schools.—Yours obediently, INQUIRES.

THE WREXHAM COUNCIL. TO THE EDITOR OF THE G17ARDIAX. SIR,—Tuesday, the last day of September, in the year of gx-ace, eighteen hundred and seventy-nine, will be looked upon as a red letter day in the annals of the Wrexham Town Council. For downright" strict attention to business," as some of its members would say in their trade circulars, it is questionable whether the meeting can be called equalled. Nothing appeared too small; nothing too gigantic, for deliberation. From six-ton steam road-rollers (some members even wanted H eight-tonners") to a miserable gas-larnt); from a new town clerk to a disinfecting machine, the discussion wandered. Like a gigantic octopus, L the Council embraced them all. The municiDal Rosa Dartle," in the shape of Mr. Councillor Richard Jones, was to the fore with his inquiries. The reading of the minutes was the signal. "Oh, really You know how ignorant I am, and that I only ask for information. I don't know that I am right, Mr. Mayor, but I should like to ask a ques- tion-" The question was asked, and an irre- gular discussion immediately arose, in which Rosa Dartle," or rather Councillor Jones, stated that I" personally wasn't going to pay any rates for the benefit of other people, and that" he would oppose the repayment of a loan. Mr. Councillor Jones had reached the inevitable "but" in his de- clamation, when the discussion was terminated, and not too soon, by the interposition of the Town Clerk upon a point of order. Considering that our friend generally prefaces his remarks with an inquiry for information and an apology for his ignorance, his tenacity of opinion is slighily inconsistent. The site of a solitary gas lamp next absorbed attention. Watery Lane is certainly not the most pleasant locality on a dark night, but as there are only s. workhouse, a corn mill and manager's residence, and a railway signal man's cottage to be considered, a special meeting of the Lighting Committee is to be called, and in solemn conclave they will discuss the best position for a solitary lamp. Oh those hard heartedgas directors! and with coals so cheap how could they treat a poor corporation so ? And in fear that they might- be called upon to supply other consumers at a lower rate, they refuse a slight concession to the town. It is not apparent whether Rosa Dartle" made any humble enquiries, but some of the members advocated a confiscation of gas works, water works, and market hall, and all this because the gas company are not liberal minded enough to make a present of a few pounds to the town. A rap on the knuckles from the Local Govern- ment Board as to the defective sanitary condition of the town is indeed a surprise. What! Wrexham, the head centre of sanitary science, the successful in sewage farming, the birthplace of wonderful pneumatic ejectors, to receive a reminder from Whitehall that The action of the Sanitary Authority had been wholly insufficient, and that by their neglect they have incurred a very grave responsibility." This indeed is dreadful. For a wonder, Mr. Richard Jones did not want to know the reason why, and there seemed among the councillors generally a disposition to shirk what is undoubtedly a very inconvenient subject for discus- sion. A subject so unpalatable and of very grave importance was passed over to receive a complaint from a gentleman who, because the arbitrator to whom the value of certain land has been referred will not, after having had two tries at it, agree with him as to the amount in dispute, wishes the Council to let him have another go," and, on the sporting principle that the third time pays for all," he promises to accept the decision as final. The Council very properly refused to entertain so absurd an application. After a short discussion upon providing the 1 "needful" to pay the liabilities incurred by the committee who are some day to provide Wrexham with a free library, the Council considered the most important document that has been before them since the Charter of Incorporation was laid upon j the table, viz., the formal resignation of the Town Clerk. In a letter to the Mayor, aldermen, and bur- gesses of Wrexham, Mr. James announced his in- tention of relinquishing all the offices he holds under the Corporation. To sever a connection that has existed for so long a period must, no doubt, have been attended with painful regret, but in adopting the course he has done, the Town Clerk probably feels that the best interests of the town will be consulted, as it has been apparent for some time that the increasing duties of the Town Clerk's office require more time and attention than Mr. James can at present give. The town will lose a good servant, and one who has done much to 21d. vance the interests and well-being of his fellow burgesses. The discussion that arose upon the matter was particularly amusing, the motion of Councillor Bradley giving rise to a lively exchange of opinions. One councillor, a (solicitor,; moved what he was pleased to term an amendment, which he was re- minded was no amendment at all. Explanations and modifications followed each other so rapidly as to confuse "Rosa Dartle," who exclaimed, "It may be my fault, but I don't think I understand this," and his subsequent observations did much to con- firm the statement. Mr. Councillor Richard Jones's great objection seemed to be in visiting the Town Clerk in his office-and although he admitted that, he was always treated politely, yet he appeared to have a pardonable horror of a lawyer's office, and always felt uncomfortable. It may be some satisfaction to our nervous councillor to know, that he is not the only one who feels very far from at home in a solicitor's office. The greatest joke of the whole proceeding was when the legal councillor who had proposed the amendment, declared himself in favour of adver- tising, remarked that "it was a perfect farce to put the advertisement in the local papers." Does the worthy councillor think so when he advertises his address to the burgesses of his ward ? Would he consider it equally as advantageous to insert it in the New York Herald ? That the Council have acted wisely in ordering & steam road-roller, no one who is at all acquainted with Wrexham streets will gainsay, but it is ques- tionable whether a good horse roller might not have been equally adapted to the requirements of the town. However, better a steam roller than none at all. The inevitable footpaths question again came up only to be postponed. Somehow or other the Council seem indisposed to approach this matter. They have the sanction of the Local Government Board for the money, and the Insurance Company is willing to lend it at a reasonable rate. What are they waiting for ? Even Councillor J ones had no question to ask on this, not even an apologetic inquiry. The Council were evidently in an unusual mood, for the new streets, which for so long have been a burning question, was settled very summarily, and notice was ordered to be given of an intention to apply for a provisional order to make them. Altogether the last meeting of the Council will be a pretty expensive one. That the improvements intended to be carried out are required is generally conceded, whether the present is the proper time or the town can afford it is. another thing.—Yours, &C*» VIGILANS.

THE TIN TRADE.—The Cornish smelters on Wednesday further advanced the tin standard by £3 per ton. The standards are now—superior common, 73s. superior fine, 74s. per cwt. This is the seventh successive advance in the standards since June last, making a total increase of £17 in the standard. Best black tin, which was down to £34 per ton, is now worth JE47 per ton. The demand from America is said to be very large. All the leading mine shares show an important advance in value. THE IRON TRADE.—The revival in the Cleveland iron trade continues. Last week 33,000 tons of pig iron were shipped at Middlesborough, whereas the amount shipped in the corresponding week of last year was only 8000 tons. Everywhere furnaces are being blown in, and some of the manufacturers have orders at present in hand which will fully occupy them for the next ten months. The ironstone miners are asking for increased wages, and the owners have resolved to meet the men and take their claims into consideration.

HEREFORD CATHEDRAL was in jeopardy on Monday fr;>:n lire, caused by the spontaneous combustion of coals stored in the building. A new ORGAN 5s to be erected in Canterbury Cathedral, in accordance with the designs of Sir Gilbert Scott. The existing organ dates from 1661, and has several times re-built. A DCKE ox EDUCATION.—The Duke of Rutland made some observations on Tuesday at Loughborough on education. He deprecated the over-education of children in a multiplicity of subjects. MURDER OF A COUSIN.—At Dublin on Tuesday, a coroner's jury returned a verdict of Wilful Murder" against John Wynne, a discharged soldier, for killing his first cousin, Mary Betan, a young woman 23 years of age, with whom he was supposed to be in love. He cut her throat. THE THREAT AGAINST A LANDLORD.—Another meet- ing of Lord Headfort's tenantry was held on Wednesday at Knells. Resolutions were passed expressing un- feigned reprobation of the threat against the noble Marquis, who was highly praised as a good landlord by all the speakers. A large amount of money was handed in towards a reward for the apprehension of the offender. HONOUR TO A ZULU WAR HERO.—General Pearson was presented on Monday at Yeovil with a sword of honour by his admirers in his native county. In acknowledging the gift he spoke warmly of Lord Chelmsford as a military commander, and his belief that Sir Bartle Frere's policy was a sound one for South Africa, and he praised the self denial and patriotism of the Colonists of Natal. ANOTHER RELIGIOUS MANIAC.—On Sunday, during; evening service, a lawyer's clerk named George Steed, a native of Southampton, entered the Hereford Cathedral and other churches, and, going up to the altar with a red cap on, said he was John the Baptist, that he had been up the North Pole, and having smoked his pipe there, had come back to tell Hereford people what he had seen in Heaven. On being taken to the police station he was declared to be insane, and sent to the asylum. A BURIAL SCANDAL. — The Pedminster Guardians spent several hours on Tuesday in discussing serious charges against a parish undertaker, to the effect that he had secretly disposed of a number of bodies which he ought to have buried in the cemetery, and for the burial of which he had drawn fees. Several bodies of children have been found in the Avon and the harbour, which the police superintendent believed are those of some of the missing children, but they cannot be traced. A reward is offered for information, and one of the guardians is about to ask the Home Secretary to order an an inquiry. SELLING TOBACCO ON SUNDAY.—On Monday, at the Tunbridge Wells Police-court, Edmund fiercer, a tobacconist, who was fined for the same offence a fort- night ago, was brought up under the old Act of Charles II., charged with unlawfully keeping open his shop and pursuing his worldly calling on a Sunday, such work not being a work of necessity. The defendant considered that it was nearly time the Act under which he was summoned was repealed. The Bench told him that the law was re-enacted last year. He would be fined 5s. and Rs. costs. The defendant paid the money, and asked whether it would be the same every time. The Bench said it would. THE EXPENDITURE OF THE LONDON SCHOOL BOARD. —The inquiry into the expenditure of the London School Board was resumed in committee at the weekly meeting of that body. In the course of a discussion, it was urged that the pressure of the ordinary business of the Board, and the near approach of the election of a new Board, rendered it advisable that no further time should be devoted to the inquiry, and that the special reports on work and expenditure, presented some time ago by the several standing committees, formed a suffi- cient answer to the charges brought against the Board. The committee passed a resolution recommending the Board to discharge the reference ordering the inquiry. THE GLASGOW BANK FAILURE.—Mr. J. Stewart, late chairman of the City of :Glasgow Bank directors, was examined on Monday in bankruptcy. Though he had been visited by severe legal consequences, he considered that he had not been in the slightest degree guilty of any moral wrong in connection with the "failure of the bank, and that it was entirely in consequence of the misdeeds of others that he occupied the position he had been brought to.—Mr. R. S. Stronach, late manager, of the Bank, was also examined at Perth prison on the same day. The bankrupt's assets are £8,9.37, while his only liabilities are entailed by the second call of the liquidators, which amounts to £ 23,488, making a de- ficiency of £ 14,531. Having been examined at con- siderable length, Mr. Stronach explained the condition and relationship of his various accounts and on his deposition being read added that but for the failure of the bank he would have been worth £12,000. THE CHANCELLOR OF THE EXCHEQUER IN IRELAND. —Sir Stafford Northcote, in reply to the toast of his health at the banquet given by the Lord Mayor of Dublin on Wednesday night, thanked the Irish for the hospitable reception accorded to him as a stranger, and added that Englishmen were too much strangers to Ireland, a sentiment which was loudly cheered. Ad- mitting and regretting that there had bl.en difficulties and disasters in relation to foreign affairs, he contended that the policy of the Government had been the riarht one, and declared amidst cheers that it was one they in- tended to pursue. He regretted the depression of trade, but added that many were sanguine of a speedy revival, with regard to Ireland, he warned the people against the dangerous declamations of ignorant agitators, and argued that although there was every reason to hope that the poor agriculturists will receive timelv assistance, they could not expect thinking people to endorse the doctrine, Base is the slave that pays." THE LIVERPOOL MYSTERY.—No definite clue has been obtained yet to the whereabouts of Miss Edwards and the mystery is as complete as ever. It has been decided to make further inquiries into the Shrewsbury story, in order that no ground may be left unturnedj and two gentlemen, friends of the family, are now endeavouring to find out and communicate with the ladies who were at Beddow's Hotel in that town at the time the sup- posed Miss Edwards was said to be there. The parents of the girl are still very strongly of opinion that the elopement theory cannot be sustained. Of course they have the best judgement as to the private habits and feelings cf the young lady herself, and they freely mention a variety of circumstances which are certainly very strongly against the idea that any sudden ac- quaintance could have been formed with a stranger, or that any other attachment than the one sanctioned by them was entertained. Their firm impression appears to be that the girl has been by some means or other either lured or abducted into some disputable house, and that if no violence has happened either she is still concealed in a resort of this kind in Liverpool, or that she has been transferred to some similar place in a distant town. They feel very strongly that this is a matter which effects not only themselves, but families at large, and they are most earnestly desirious that the Home Office should, if possible, take some cognisance of the case. SOCIAL SCIENCE COGRESS. At the Congress on Saturday, Mr. F. S. Powell delivered the inaugural address of the day in the Health Section. He laid some stress upon the inferior political position in the Government of the gentlemen whose department deals with the health of the country. Those who desired the effectual working of the laws dealing with poverty and disease should endeavour to place the Minister in charge of these matters on an equality with the Secre- tary of State. A paper by Mr. Hermann Vezin, in the Art Section, on "The Moral and Artistic Aspects of the Stage," advocated an association of actors for the management of an national theatre, in preference to a Stage subsidy. An interesting discussion followed, in which the Bishop of Manchester took part. On Monday, Lord Reay delivered an address, in which he advocated that land should be held in such a way that it could easily be sold without the legal obstacles with which it was incumbered. Dr. Waddilove read a paper suggesting the assimilation of the Marriage Laws of the United Kingdom, and Miss Becker read a paper on the progress of the movement for the enfranchisement of women. In the Repression of Crime Section. Sergeant Cox read a paper advocation the more extensive admiss- ion to bail of persons committed for trial. A paper was read by Mr. John Slagg on the renewal and extension of commercial treaties. A debate followed, after which on the motion of Mr. Henry Ashworth, seconded by Colonel Jackson, a resolution was adopted in favour of petitioning the Government to negotiate with foreign Governments in favour of a general reduction of European armaments, and the appointment of a Minister of Commerce. On Tuesday, Sir Coutts Lindsay gave an address on the relations of the fine arts to social science. He contended that England is making progress in art, but that with the exception of poverty—in which we stand unrivalled—the circumstances of the country have prevented us from acquiring proficiency. Some interesting questions were discussed in the sections. Mr. G. Smith recommended that the Canal Boats Act should be applied to gipsy and street arab children. Depressed trade, and licensing system, and parliament- ary representation were also discussed. At the con- cluding sitting of the Congress on Wednesday, it was decided to hold next year's meeting in Edinburgh. It is stated unofficially that the demand for tickets has been less than at any meeting since the formation of the congress. Many of the members attended a public meeting in support of the experimental Manchester and Salford College for women, at which Mr. J acob Bright, M.P., strongly urged that Owens College should open its doors to women. Placards, pesting and hand bills, plain or in colours, are printed at the Guardian Office, 26, Hope-street, Wrexham, at most reasonable terms, nd with greatest promptitude. New Season's Teas, choicely blended, and rich in flavour, at the North Wales Public Supply Stores, 14, High-street, Wrexham. 71 Pure, strong, and delicious Teas and Coffees can always be obtained at the North Wales Public Supply Stores, 14, High-street, Wrexham. 77 HOLLOWAY'S PILLS.—With the darkening days and changing temperatures the digestion becomes impaired, the liver disordered, and the mind despondent unless the cause of the irregularity be expelled from the blood and body by an alterative like these pills. They go directly to the source of the evil, thrust out all impuri- ties from the circulation, reduce distempered organs to their natural state, and correct all defective and com- taminated secretions. Such easy means of instituting health, strength, and cheerfulness should be in the possession of all whose stomachs are weak, whose minds are much harassed, or whose brains are overworked. Holloway's is essentially a blood-tempering medicine, whereby its influence, reaching the remotest fibres of the frame, effects a universal good.

WREXHAM INFIRMARY. TO THE EDITOR OF THE GUAKDU5. DEAS SIR,—During the last fortcightor s0,it has been quite distressing to see the numbers of infirm and ailing people (some of them carrying sick children) going from shop to shop and house to house in the vain hope of obtaining a ticket for out- Idoor relief—the demand being very great just now. According to the rules, a guinea subscriber is entitled to have two patients on the bocks at one time, but the applications far exceed this limit. I would respectfully suggest that the country sub- scribers would sign their books, and leave them with—say their chemises or bankers, so that urgent and necessitous cases might be relieved at o-nce.— Yours faithfully, J. F. EDISBUJJY. Oct. 7tb, 1879.

SALFORD, Tuesday.—The market was largely supplied with beasts, but the bulk was of an inferior description.
