THE ESTABLISHED CHURCH. THE BISHOP OF ST. ALBAN'S and the Bishop of Worcester will preach the opening sermon at the open- ing of Rugby Church on the 29th inst. HER MAJESTY has been graciously pleased to appoint the Ven. Lord Alwyne Compton. Archdeacon of Oak- ham, to the vacant deanery of Worcester. A PUBLIC MEETING was held on Wednesday at Lichfield, under the presidency of the Bishop, to pro- mote the foundation of the new bishopric of Southwell, authorised by the Act of 1878. A meeting was held at Lincoln for the same purpose. CHESTER DIOCESAN CONFERENCE.—The annual con- ference of clergy and laity for the diocese of Chester commenced on Wednesday at the Music Hall, Chester, Dr. Jacobson, the bishop of the diocese presiding. In opening the proceedings, the Chairman adverted to certain diocesan work and to the subjects which would be brought before them. He said the marriage laws had had no little thought and attention bestowed on them for some time past. As long as 18G8, a Royal Commis- sion reported on this subject in each of the three king- doms. There were variations in the laws. The great object was, of course, to give every facility to lawful and proper marriages, and to interpose difficulties and delays, if absolute prevention was unattainable, in the way of those which are unlawful and improper. There ought to be no risk of invalidity or precariousness. Some of their clerical brethren in large and densely- populated towns had felt unable to cope with the diffi- culties with which they were beset. Affidavits and other precautions had failed to give the security which was reasonably expected from them. In one case of affinity, the ruling of some colonial Legislature had been in conflict with that of the mother country. In the case of divorced persons it had been thought by many that the law of the land permitted that which was not, and after Our Lord's declaration could not be, sanctioned by the law of the Church. Papers were afterwards read on the work and influence of the cathedral in the dio- cese and the extension of the diaconate. SUNDAY, OCTOBER 26, 1879.—TWENTIETH SUNDAY AFTER TRINITY.

lJ£' audt £ r. THE PRINCE AND PRINCESS OF WALES arrived in Paris on Saturday. On Sunday morning their Royal Hi-hnesses breakfasted with the Czarewitch and the Grand Duchess, who had also arrived in the French capital, and in the afternoon they called on President Grew at the Elysee, where they were received with military honours. The Prince and Princess of Wales have returned to London. THE PRINCESS LOUISE sailed from Quebec on Satur- day in the Sarmatian, for England. THE Bacchante has arrived at Gibraltar having on board the Princes Albert Victor and George. It ap- pears that the two young Princes were terribly seasick during the earlier part of the voyage out. Of course, smoother seas brought them relief. According to instructions they are to be treated throughout the cruise as ordinary midshipmen, taking the regular round of duties, messing with their comrades, and distinguished only by special and separate sleeping accommodation. THE DUKE OF CUMBERLAND contemplates definitively resigning his claims to the throne of Hanover.

ENTHUSIASTIC RECEPTION OF THE MARQUIS OF SALISBURY AT MANCHESTER. The Marquis of Salisbury, who has been paying his long-expected visit to Manchester, attended a meeting of the Manchester Chamber of Commerce on Friday morning, and was presented with an address by the chairman. In the course of his reply, his lordship said the question of the appointment of a Minister of Com- merce was occupying the deep attention of Her Majesty's Government. He could not understand why foreign countries should impose heavy protective duties upon imports, and believed that the recent incre:1se in those duties was due to the increase of the gigantic military forces of continential countries, which consti- tuted a permanent drain on the forces of industry, and a permanent danger to the interest of commerce, Canada had adopted a policy in the matter of pro- tective duties which all Englishmen must deeply deplore. He urged them to continue their demand for the abolition of the Indian cotton duties, stating that it was necessary for the people to lay down general principles, and for the Government to apply them according to the necessities of the moment. Lord Salisbury afterwards lunched at the Conservative Club, and in reply to an address presented by the mem- bers, said the work of the Government in dealing with questions of great difficulty had been hampered by an Opposition which had strained and exaggerated the precedents of all previous Oppositions, but their task had been lightened by the loyal and steadfast support they had received. In the evening Lord Salisbury, Mr. Cross, and Colonel Stanley were entertained at a dinner in the Free Trade Hall. The principal sp eech was made by the Foreign Secretary, who said in the present feeling of the country foreign affairs occupied the greatest amount of attention. The Government did not claim anything new in their policy, but they claimed to have followed the tradition which had been handed down to them by a long succession of Governments. In judging of the conduct of the Ministry in regard to the Eastern Question they must look to the danger, and to the materials in the hands of the Government to apply a remedy. The danger was that Russia should threaten the independence of Constantinople or the shores of the Black Sea, or that a Slav State should stretch across from the Black Sea to the Adriatic. The remedy they had applied depended, first, upon the Turk; but if the Turk failed Austria was now advanced to Novi-Bazar, and any advance of Russia beyond the Balkans or beyond the Danube could not now take place unless the resistance of Austria was overcome and what had transpired during the last few weeks justified the belief that if Austria were attacked she would not stand alone. As to Afghanistan, if he could tell them all they would see that the Government had no choice but most un- willingly to pursue the course they had followed. The Marquis of Salisbury opened the Junior Con- servative Club at Manchester, on Saturday, and in the afternoon attended and spoke at a great Conservative meeting in the Pomona Gardens. In connection with the former the noble marquis was presented with an address from the members of the club, of which he has become president, and spoke on the subject of political organization. At the meeting a resolution was passed, giving the Marquis of Salisbury a hearty welcome. In acknowledging the vote, the noble marquis referred to- the subject of foreign policy, and pointed out that, whatever might be said on that topic, it had been more favourable to the prosperity of the country, and had been less likely to produce depression, than that which was followed by the Liberal Government of a quarter of a century ago. An immense number of persons who could not get into where the meeting was held were ad- dressed in the open air by the Marquis of Salisbury. The other speakers at the meetings included Colonel Stanley and Mr. A. Egerton, M.P. On Monday, Lord Salisbury attended the Moss Side Conservative Club at Manchester. He remarked that organizations of that sort did more than anything else to keep the Conservative party together, and produce that balance of opinion among the various members which resulted in concord and harmonious action, and so led to the continued prevalence of Conservatism in the government of the country. His lordship subse- quently drove to London-road station, and left for Lon- don by the ten o'clock express. HOLYHEAD.—Mr. R. Davies, M.P., and Mr. Morgan Lloyd, M.P., were present at a Liberal demonstration at Holyhead on Tuesday night, and spoke in condemnation of the policy of the Government. A vote of confidence was passed in both members, as well as a resolution dis- approving of the fantastic policy of the ministry. MR. RAIKES AND THE ELECTORS OF CHESTER.—Mr. Raikes, M.P., at a meeting of his constituents at Chester, on Monday last, made a speech on the foreign policy of the Government and other subjects. He con- tended that the conduct of the Government had been in every way worthy of the support of the country, and that never since the peace which followed the battle of Waterloo was there a better prospect of peace and a revival of trade and industry than there was at the pre- sent moment. The present depression of trade was merely a rebound of the inflation of trade some ten years ago, which was in a great measure due to the policy of the Government then in office. MR. CHILDERS AND HIS CONSTITUENTS.—Mr. Childers, addressing his constituents at Knottingley, on Monday evening, criticised the recent speeches of Lord Salis- bury. He accused the Government of double-faced- ness in its foreign policy, and suspected that the an- nexation of Afghanistan was contemplated. The exten- sion of household suffrage to the counties, and the abuse known as the sale of Church livings, were reforms which the nation might not expect unless Liberal can- didates were returned at the next election. The right hon. gentleman also referred to the increase of taxation, the growth of the national debt, and the postponement of provision for the yearly deficit. THE COMING ELECTION.—The electoral campaign has now been fairly entered upon, and active measures are being adopted by the leaders of both the great parties in every part of the country. A great Liberal Demon- stration is being arranged for at Leeds on the 14th of November, at which the Duke of Argyll has been asked to preside. The Echo gives currency to the rumour that Lord Carnarvon will follow Lord Derby into the Liberal camp. His lordship's younger brother, the Hon. Auberon Herbert, is well-known as a philosophical Radical of an advanced type. The total abstainers in Midlothian are about to wait upon Mr. Gladstone to as- certain if he will support Sir Wilfred Lawson's local option resolution. REPRESENTATION OF MONTGOMERYSHIRE.—The first of a series of meetings in support of Mr. Stuart Rendel's candidature was held in the schoolroom, Sarn, near Kerry, on Monday evening last. This was the first political meeting ever known to have been held in this village, and it excited a deal of interest. The room f was thronged,and Mr. Stuart Rendel and the gentlemen by whom he was supported were cheered upon entering. The chair was taken by Mr. Edward Davies (son of the hon. member for the Cardigan Boroughs), and there were also on the platform, the Hon. F. S. A. Hanbury Tracy, M.P., Mr. David Davies, M.P., Mr. A. C. Humphreys-Owen, Mr. Richard Williams, Newtown, Mr. James Hall, Newtown, and Mr. Edward Powell, Newtown. Speeches were made by Mr. Hanbury Tracy, Mr. Stuart Rendel, Mr. David Davies Mr. Humphreys Owen, and other gentlemen. A resolution in support of Mr. Stuart Rendel's candidature was carried with but four dissentients.

ra{}t arrtr (fcmitmmi InON" AND COAL. BARROW IN FL'KN'SS, Monday. The hematite market, this morning was reverted very !n,1, and quotations reached as high as 723. Gd. per ton a maker's works for Nos. 1, 2, and 3 qualities. No business was transacted at this, however, as makers are so well sold forward that it is questionable whether in any instance they are prepared to sell for immediate delivery even at this price. Iron ore is very firm: in tone, and prices have advanced to 14s. and 14s. Gd, per ton at the- mines. The output of iron has been increased by the relighting of several furnaces, and the amount of iron ore raised has been considerably increased. Steelmakers are very busy. Iron shipbuilders are fairly but not fully em- ployed. Coal is firmer. Coke in fuller supply it Gd. advance. MIDDLESBOROUGH, Tuesday. All the pig iron business to-day has been done by merchants, and the prices they have taken for No. 3 as been as low as 37s. 6d., though 40s. has been the more general figure. Some large merchants are persistently bearing the market, and pressing iron upon buyers very strongly, but makers being well sold refrain from operating, and will not even quote. The ship merchants are hardly so brisk this week, but it is evident that the stocks vrill show a large decrease at the end of the month. Mr. Charles Wood has received an order for 2300 of his wrought iron sleepers. The demand for chairs is main- tained, and one large order for Egypt was placed here a few days ago. The manufactured ircn trade is quieter. The Roseberry steelworks are to be opened on Thurs- day. WOLVERHAMPTON, Wednesday.—Best iron, both raw and rolled, was dearer to-day. Stamping sheets were quoted up on the week 60s. The brands of the marked bar firms realised standard prices with less difficulty, and are in improved request for export. Certain galvanised sheets of approved makes are quoted £ 16 delivered in London. Tredegar pigs are advanced 2s. 6d., making present quotations 77s. 6d. The coal market was unsettled, through the fear that prices are to be advanced 2s. per ton within the fortnight. This un- certainty operated to restrict transactions in iron. AGRICULTURE. THE CORN TRADE.—The Marie Lane Express says— "A lower temperature has prevailed during the past week, and the atmosphere has been damp and foggy, unfavourable for thrashing, but not unsuitable for other out-door labour. Supplies of home grown-wheat have again been very small at the country markets, and the average price has advanced Is. 7d. per quarter. Im- ports of foreign wheat into London have been on a fairly liberal scale, last Monday's return showing some- thing over 75,000 quarters, while the subsequent arrivals up to Friday amounted to 68,190 quarters. Notwithstanding the increased supply, activity and excitement have prevailed in the trade, which has been largely extended by the action of speculators, whose confidence in the position remains unshaken. The week's sales have been large, as millers have bought freely, and prices have risen 3s. to 4s. on the week, under the stimulus of increased consumption and speculation. Business, however, might have been more extensive than it was but for the uncertainty which prevails as to the future course of prices, an uncertainty not as to the probability of a further advance so much as to the extent of it."

rûn anh Coal mra{} potts. FURTHER RISE IN THE PRICE OF TIN. Cornish smelters further advanced on Tuesday tin standards by 4s. per cwt., making the present rates 82s. per cwt. for common, and 83s. for fine. THE IRON TRADE REVIVAL.—A Wolverhampton cor- respondent telegraphs that circulars are out from more manufacturers announcing further advances in prices, and telegrams are arriving from Scotch and North of England shipbuilders and others ordering the immediate despatch of heavy quantities of requisites. The im- provement has now extended to the marked iron houses; specifications for the Earl of Dudley's, for Bloomfield's, and for other similar irons, are being placed more freely than for three years to forestall assumed impend- ing advances. Wrought iron tubes are up about five per cent., and Stirchley patent wrought nails. Wolver- hampton stock locks, and Bilston trays are considerably advanced.

—— Jfonigit ntdltgtntt. SPAIN. HEAVY FLOODS.—During Tuesday night a very heavy storm broke over two valleys, where the waters, in their rush seawards, swept away entire villages and the suburbs of several large towns, drowned several hun- dreds of people who had no time to escape, rendered many thousands homeless, and destroyed, it is believed, quite two million pounds' worth of property. A relief committee is ministering to the immediate wants of the suffering population, and assistance is asked from all whose sympathies are excited by a calamity said to ex- ceed that of Szegedin. TURKEY. THE CABINET.—The Turkish Cabinet has been almost entirely changed. Osman Pacha retains his post as Minister of War, and a new post has been created for Safvet Pacha. RUSSIA. THE CAMPAIGN.—According to the best information which has been received in India, it appears certain that the Russians have met with a very severe repulse, and have retired towards the Caspian for the winter. A NIHILIST PLOT DISCOVERED.—A Nihilist plot has been discovered in St. Petersburg in a singular manner. A cipher letter to a female prisoner was mislaid by her, and fell into the hands of the authorities, who ascertained that it disclosed a plan for releasing the Nihilist prisoners, in which two officers of the prison had promised their assistance. They were apprehended, and at the residence of one of them were found the cards of a number of medical students, all of whom have been arrested. INDIA. A telegram from Simla reports that Mr. Damant, the British Commissioner in the Naga Hills, has been murdered by the Nuzema Nagas, who were subsequently dispersed by a British detachment. EGYPT. SETTLEMENT OF THE DIFFICULTY WITH ABYSSINIA.— Gordon Pasha (" the ever-successful Gordon as he was named during his military career in China) has suc- cessfully discharged the mission entrusted to him by the Khedive, having effected an amicable arrangement of the dispute between Egypt and Abyssinia. According to this arrangement, King John renounces his claim to Massowah, but will be allowed to choose a more southerly point of communication with the sea.

THE AFGHAN WAR. ABDICATION OF THE AMEER. At eleven o'clock on Wednesday week, the whole of the division paraded in review order in preparation of the solemn entry into Cabul. The procession was formed as follows :-The cavalry and artillery went first; next rode the general and his staff following these came the whole force of infantry. The entire length of the city of Cabul was paraded. The Afghan Sidars all took part in the procession, and the military bands played at the head of the different regiments. The shops were opened throughout the city, and the people crowded along the line traversed by the proces- sion. The bazaar is of enormous length, and the shops appear to well supplied with goods. Hundreds of fruit shops were open, and the merchants distributed fruit gratis to the soldiers. Many of the people appeared to be as fair as the English, and the boys in particular are good featured, and very handsome. But few women were to be seen in the streets, and those who did show shemselves were covered in white clothing from head to foot. Everything was perfectly quiet and no incident of any importance occurred during the progress of the procession. After marching through the city, the troops returned to the camp. Several of the chiefs have been arrested, and are now confined as political prisoners in the Bala Hissar. They were arrested for suspected participation in the massacre of the Embassy. Much loot has been brought in from the neighbouring villages. The whole country appears to be perfectly quiet. ° The Ameer, Yakoob Khan, has announced his deter- mination to abdicate, stating that he intended taking this step earlier, but was then dissuaded from so doing. General Roberts has counselled the Ameer to reconsider the matter, but Yakoob Khan adheres firmly to his resolution. General Roberts is, in consequence, m?liii« provisional arrangements for maintaining order in Afghanistan, and carrying on the Administration of the country. A great explosion occurred on Friday in the lower part of the magazine in the upper Bala Hissar, exactlv where the mutineers established themselves to fire down on the Residency. The 5th Goorkhas were encamped on the east side close to where the explosion occurred, and the G7th Regiment on the north and below in the Ameer's summer garden. Captain Shafto, Royal Artillery, who was employed at the time in the magazine, is missing, and one man of the 67th, who was signalling on a wall above the explosion, was killed. About 15 Goorkhas are missing, including a subadar major and three pay havildars. The troops were quickly got out of the Bala Hissar, including the sick. leaviiv the camp standing and all their kits. At four p.m. a second great explosion occurred, killing two native soldiers and sonie camp followers outside the outer gate of the Bala Hissar, some distance off. The troops nad been retired to a place of safety. The fire continued all night, with occasional explosions, and is still burnin". The great magazine has not yet exploded. The 5th Punjab Infantry, the 5th Punjab Cavalry, and four mountain guns, under General Hugh Gough, left on Saturday, on convoy towards Shutargardan. The cause of the explosion is not known. 800,000 rounds of small- arm ammunition of the Ameer's stores were blown up. The Government have received, through the Viceroy, a telegram from General Roberts, confirming the news respecting the explosions in the Bala Hissar. He states that nothing is left but the large magazine, which is said contain about two hundred and fifty thousand pounds of powder. All the arms and ammunition collected by Shere Ali must have been destroyed. Ihere is no reason to suppose, General Roberts adds, that the cause of the explosion was otherwise than accidental.

They have 17 in their possession, and have arrested a man who gives the name of Cross, and states that he is an. American. THE ARGYLL ROOMS.—The Attorney General, on be- half of Mr. Bignell, applied on Friday to the Middlesex Magistrates to grant a license for the Argyll Rooms, he having the intention to turn that building into a music hall. The application was refused, twenty-five voting for it, and fifty-one against it. SUDDEN DEATH IN A CHURCH.—Mrs. Fergusson, the wife of a Newcastle blacksmith, died while attending service in St. George's Presbyterian Church in that town, on Sunday morning. After a short and ap- propriate service, in which the customary sermon was dispensed with, Mr. Potter dismissed the congregation, among whom the sudden event had produced a most painful sensation. PLUCKING LIVE GEESE.—John Molesworth farmer, was charged at the Petty Sessions, at Wisbeach, on Saturday, with cruelly ill-treating 24 geese by plucking feathers from them at Upwell. The Royal Society for Prevention of Cruelty to Animals instituted the prosecu- tion. Professor Pritchard, of London, gave evidence as to the effect of plucking the geese when alive, and the case having been proved, defendant was ordered to pay fine and costs amounting to t6 4s. DISCOVERY OF MISS EDWARDS.—Miss Edwards, the young lady whose disappearance from her home seven weeks since caused considerable sensation in Liverpool, has been discovered in London through the agency of a private detective. A telegram was received by Mr. Edwards on Tuesday, acting upon which he proceeded to London, and from a brief note received from him by his son, in Liverpool, on Wednesday afternoon, he has found his daughter. No particulars are given. RELIGIOUS IMPOSTURE.—During the week a man and two respectably-dressed young women, have been calling on the residents of Heme Bay, introducing themselves by more than a double knock at the door, and then pro- ceeding by saying they bore a "message from the Lord" contained in a pamphlet, price fourpence, and in several instances where the book was refused, leaving a warn- ing word to the effect that this message would be the last on earth that would be sent from the Lord to the person addressed. COLLIERY ACCIDENT. An accident occurred on Wednesday morning at the Alexandria Colliery, Ravenshead, St. Helen's, which caused the death of seven men and serious injury to two more. The cage in which they were to have descended was wound the wrong way, and coming in contact with the woodwork of the head gearing, became dissevered from the rope and fell down the pit shaft, a distance of over three hundred yards. Two of the occupants of the cage saved their lives by leaping out before the rope snapped. OUTRAGE BY FRENCH FISHERMEN. Whilst the Jessamine, drift-net fishing boat, was fishing off Lowes- toft, on Monday night, her nets were trawled into by a French boat. The Jessamine's crew burnt flares for the I purpose of seeing the name of the craft, which was the Alannc-Lorraine, Boulogne. A double volley was then tired from the French boat into the Jessamine, wound- ing three of the latter's crew, two dangerously. The wounded men were conveyed on Tuesday morning to Lowestoft Hospital. The English fishermen threaten retaliation. j: RELEASE OF THE TURF FRAUDS DETECTIVES AND RE-ARREST OF FROGGATT.-On Tuesday, ex-Detective Inspectors Palmer, Druscovitch, and Meiklejohn, having finished their term of two years' hard labour for com- plicity in the great turf frauds, were released from Coldbathfields gaol. Mr. Edward Froggat, solicitor, who received a similar sentence, was arrested imme- diately on leaving the prison on a charge of fraudulently, appropriating JK),000, which had been entrusted to his charge, and on being brought up at the Guildhall, he was remanded for a week. MYSTERIOUS AFFAIR ON HAMPSTEAD HEATH.—About -1 midnight on Monday, a German, giving the name of Charles Peters, was found in the street near the Heath, calling "Police," and bleeding profusely from a wound, in the leg. He was taken to the police station on a stretcher. Dr. Cooper, divisional surgeon, found a large lacerated wound on the right calf, with a corres- ponding small wound on the front of the leg, probably caused by a gunshot, and it seemed as if by an explosive i ] bullet. No weapon was found. The injured man was 1 sent to the hospital. He is very uncommunicative. It 1 is supposed to be a political outrage. THE VOLUNTEERS.—The following revised regulations will come into force at the close of the Volunteer year, the 31st inst. :—"No person below the age of 17 or above the age of 49 years, will be enrolled in a Volun- teer Corps, and no person on attaining 50 years of age will continue to serve as an enrolled member in a Volun- r teer Corps, unless in special cases when the commanding officer thinks it desirable in the interest of the corps that a non-commissioned officer or private who has attained the age of 50 years should continue to serve, ] when a special application may be made to the general officer commanding the district, for authority to retain him. EXTRAORDINARY CASE OF CONSPIRACY. An ex- traordinary case of alleged conspiracy came up before the Bristol magistrates on Monday. Emmeline Samson, ] a young married woman, was charged with conspiracy. It was alleged that the accused had lent her child to a woman named Leonora Chambers, already committed for trial, and that she (Chambers) represented that it was her own, had obtained an affiliation order in respect 1 of it against William Henry Bowen, whom she several times prosecuted for non-payment, and who, on one occasion, was sentenced to six week's imprisonment for not obeying the order. The accused was remanded until Tuesday, when she was committed for trial. THE ELECTRIC LIGHT. A successful trial of the the electric light, on the system invented by Messrs. Siemens and Ralske, took place at the British Museum on Monday evening, the large Reading-room being brilliantly illuminated by means of four lamps, while seven smaller lamps were employed to light up the hall and the exterior of the building. Extensive experi- ments with the electric light have been recently made in the Russian navy. It has also been successfully used at Marseilles during the unloading of ships by night. The whole quay was brilliantly lighted throughout the night. An experiment was made recently in New York by which it was found that the distance from which the light would illuminate a given spot was seven miles. It is said that the officers of the French Algerian Triangu- lation Service really saw the electric light at the Spanish station of Tetica from a distance of more than 164 miles. EMIGRATION.—It was stated at a Conference on the subject of emigration and the depressed state of trade, held on Monday at the Homerton Evangelical Hall, London, that the ex-Mayor of Natal is prepared to take out in a short time two hundred artisans, pro- vided each man can raise ten pounds, and a resolution was passed asking the various friendly societies if they are desirous of forming a fund by which the subscribers would have the privilege of voting passages for persons who had been nominated to go to the Colonies.—On Tuesday morning, a large number of engineers, who for several months past have been on strike in Bradford, left that town for Liverpool, en route for Harrisburg and Middletown, Pennsylvania, America, where they have been engaged to fill important situations by two of the largest engineering firms in America. Their departure was witnessed by a large crowd, and as the train left the station the emigrants were loudly cheered. Ar- rangements have been made to send away another batch shortly. OPENING OF A COLLEGE AT SHEFFIELD BY PRINCE LEOPOLD.—Firth College, the gift of Mr. Mark Firth to the town of Sheffield, was opened on Monday by Prince Leopold, in the presence of a large numjjer of ladies and gentlemen. Mr. Mark Firth, in a. brief speech described the aims of the institution, and banded the trust deeds to the Prince, who, in eulogistic terms, referred to the donor's wise munificence, and pointed out how truly great was the reward of those who, after spending what was required to keep them in a position of dignity, devoted the remainder towards furthering the happiness of their fellow-men. His royal highness, on behalf of the subscribers, subsequently presented to Mr. Mark Firth a portrait bust, and a cheqjJie for £ 1,500 as a testimonial in recognition, of his benefactions. The Prince, on leaving the college, went to the Cutlers' Hall, where the Cutlers' Company and the Town Trustees presented addresses, which were suitably- acknowledged. His royal highness wis. entertained t luncheon at two o'clock by the Mayor and Corporatica, in the Cutlers' Hall, and afterwards visited Firth Pack, opened by the Prince and Princess of Wales four yaars ago, SCENE IN A WORKHGCXSE.—Two g,.rls named Hawkins and Read, described as good-looking, healthy girls of nineteen and seventeen," were brought up at Worship- street, on 'Monday, charged with disorderly and re- factory conduct in the City of London Workhouse at Clapton. On Saturday afternoon these lively young damsels contrived to climb on to the roof of an out- building overlooking the labo«r-yard, and there they amused themselves by tugging at the porter's bell. Vain attempts were made to dislodge them. The authorities strove to scale their eyrie by means of a ladder, but they were pelted by the bold AMAZONSJ and were compelled to beat an ignominioas retreat. At length the hose of the fire-engine was brought into play, and the two wretched creatures were drenched with water and forced to capitulate and eome down. After that they were given into custody as refractory paupers. Before the magistrate the assistant-taskmaster stated that the engine-hose was only being used to clean the yard, and that the girls had been warned to get out of the way but they, on their part, declared that the porter had deliberately played upon them until they I were wet through. The magistrate discharged them, observing that the officers of the workhouse had talcen the law into their own hands, and that the ducking which Hawkins and Read had undergone, waa no" quite a commendable proceeding.

THE WEEXHAM NATURAL SCIENCE I SOCIETY. I TO THJJ EDITOR OF THE GUARDIAIF. SIR,-Presuming that the Natural Science Society will soon be opened for the winter season, I venture to pen these few lines for the consideration of the public and the powers that be ''of the society. It [ would not require a very glowing- account to prove the need which exists, and which calls for the estab- lishment of some place of instruction and entertain- ment in Wrexham. True, the Free Library will soon be established, by which it is to be hoped that many a pleasant evening will be spent, yet many of the young men who will avail themselves of the privileges of that institution, may like to hear occasionally a lecture on what is generally termed Popular Science." Now there is no opportunity of obtaining this but by joining the above society, but the fee (13s. 6d.) for the seaso-a is a deal too large for many young men's pockets, and unless some arrangements might be made by which young men might attend a course of lectures at a cheaper rate, this approaching winter will pass over without their profiting by the society at all. It would be well if the matter could be brought before the committee when arranging for the coming season.—Yours truly, ONE OF A MANY.

AGRICULTURAL CIRCULATING LIBRARY. TO THE EDITOR OF THE GUARDIAN. SIR,—As there are at the present time plenty of works in great variety relating to agriculture, and to the different branches of its science and practice, as well as to hortisulture and rural economy, it is desirable that such works should be circulated more frequently and more widely amongst farmers ancLhorticulturists than is the case at present. In this view, I wish to suggest that it would be very desirable to form a circulating library of these books for North Wales, for the convenience and i advantage of farmers, gardeners, and others in the ( district engaged in the culrure of the soil. A i library of this kind has many sterling advantages t to commend it, and it might be established in some ] suitable centre, so as to be made available for as < many as possible, as also for students in agriculture] and horticulture, and for thoee who attend agricul- tural science classes. t In case the farmers and gardeners of the neigh- a bouring counties do not see their way to co-operate | for such a purpose, there is doubtless one or more i; of the enterprising publishers of North Wales who would think it worth while starting the suggested f library, if fairly encouraged. Circulating libraries v of almost every description prosper now-a-days, in II particular, those containing chiefly novels and other C works of fiction. This being so, there appears to be greater reason why a library of solid and in- t structive work=, as are those on agriculture and horticulture should prosper. In order that the library now proposed may be- come as widely useful as possible, it should contain books and periodicals not only as to agriculture, horticulture, and rural economy, but also books on the kindred sciences, such as chemistry, botany, geology, and so on. Also might be included, the journals and reports published from time to time by the leading agricultural and horticultural societies in the kingdom. In a century like the present, when education and science are doiug so much to promote progress in our national industries, it is especially desirable that farmers and gardeners should devote a portion 1 )f their time for reading and studying some prac- tical books relating to their own business, so as to keep abreast with the times. Such a course would, it all events, raise their lives and thoughts above the ordinary routine of the farm and the garden, sonsiderably enlarge their circle of knowledge, and thereby better enable them to conduct their par- ticular business according to enlightened and skilful methods. s: It is needless to dwell on the utility of a library p )f the kind suggested, as its advantages will be r< svident to all who have any interest in the matter. q [f the farmers and gardeners of North Wales do aot want to be left behind in knowledge and skill n by others in the same occupation in other parts of ¡he country, it is time that they exert themselves, ind unite in carrying out an arrangement which tvill be greatly to their lienefit,—Yours, o 20th October, 1879.
