THE ESTABLISHED CHURCH. THE COMMISSION ON CHURCH PATRONAGE.—The Commissioners appointed to inquire into the subject of patronage in the Church of England have presented their report. They do not recommend alterations of the present law which would strike at the root of pri- vate patronage, such, for instance, as the prohibition of the sale of an advowson or perpetual right of presenta- tion. They are of opinion that adequate remedies may be found for existing abuses without so wide a depar- ture from the established practice of this country. The Commissioners are, however, of opinion that the sale of advowsons by auction tends to public scandal, and ought therefore to be forbidden. The Commissioners recom- mend the prohibition of sales of next presentations, and that, in order to make this prohibition effectual, provi- sion should be made to prevent any evasion by any pur- chase of the advowson, pur autre vie, or for other limited estate, or by other conveyancing device. Several com- missioners dissent from parts of the report. BISHOP OF LONDON'S VISITATION.—The Bishop of London delivered an elaborate and exhaustive charge to the clergy of the diocese of London, on the occasion of his third Visitation, at St. Paul's Cathedral, on Friday. He expressed his conviction that whatever might be advanced as to the ideal of parochial organisa- tion in Church work, the best way of supplying the deficiencies of the past and providing for the growing wants of the metropolis would be to persevere in the policy of judiciously subdividing overgrown districts, building new churches, and entrusting each to the care of a responsible incumbent. The number beneficed clergy should be increased, and greater facilities should be afforded them for preparatory study but this would necessitate an increase in the means of maintaining them, and for that they must look to the laity. The work of lay helpers was referred to with satisfaction; but the Bishop regretted the adoption in some of the sisterhoods, of rules and regulations which were alien to the mind and practice of the Church of England. He enforced the necessity of maintaining Church schools, whilst pointing out that as yet they had been but little affected by the operations of the School Board. Doc- trinal points were dealt with at some length, and the views of the Bishop with reference to the Rubrics, Hitual, the Real Presence, and Confession, were clearly laid down.

tneraI nftIligtlU't. MR. BOUCICAULT, who has been managing Booth's Theatre, New York, is suffering from a serious attack of paralysis. THE death is announced of John Baldwin Buckstone, at the age of 77, the last most versatile and brilliant of the old school of comedians. GAME LICENCES.—Licences to kill game are now issued at the reduced charge of £2 for the remainder of the season. All game certificates will expire on the 5th of April; 10s. gun licences do not qualify the holders to kill game or rabbits. DR. CUMMING.—The health of this celebrated Pro- testant lecturer and preacher has somewhat improved of late, though he has been compelled to relinquish his ministerial work. A fund sufficient to secure the doctor an annuity of jE300 has been realized. A HARE HUNT AT SEA.—On Monday a hare was seen by some coastguards on the beach near Shorncliffe. They immediately gave chase, and others soon joined in. Poor puss, being sorely pressed by some men attacking her also in front, took to sea, and boats were launched in pursuit. After considerable dodging, she was event- ually killed by a blow with an oar. THe ceremony of presenting the Lord Mayor Elect to the Lord Chancellor, for the purpose of receiving the Royal approval of the choice of the citizens, took place on Monday. The Lord Mayor Elect (Sir Francis Truscott) was introduced by the Recorder, who gave a short outline of his career, at the conclusion of which the Lord Chancellor signified her Majesty's approval of the election, and congratulated Sir Francis upon the dignity to which he had been raised. SERIOUS CHARGE OF FRAUD.—At the Liverpool police court, on Tuesday, before Mr. Raffles, Charles B. Tomlinson, a well-known cotton broker, was committed to the assizes on a charge of obtaining £10,000 from the firm of Gruning and Co., by fraudulent means. He was subsequently charged with forging two bills of ex change for the purpose of defrauding Messrs. Leyland and Bullins, bankers. On these charges he was also committed to the assizes, the prisoner reserving his de- fence. THE DUKE OF CONNAUGHT AND THE SCHOOL FOR DAUGHTERS OF ARMY OFFICERS. — The Duke and Duchess of Connaught visited Brighton, on Tuesday, for the purpose of opening a bazaar in the dome of the Royal Pavilion, in aid of the Royal Schools for the Daughters of Army Officers at Bath and Roehampton. A number of purses were received by the Duchess as contributions to the funds of the schools, and the Duke, at the close of the opening ceremony, spoke warmly of the claims the schools had on their sympathy. Brighton was en fete during the day in honour of the visit. STRANGE CONJUGAL JEALOUSY.—At Ashford, last week, Eliza Jane Armstrong, aged 19, wife of a small shopkeeper, was charged with threatening to take the life of her husband. The prisoner and her husband, it ap- peared, had had several quarrels on account of Mrs. Armstrong being jealous of a neighbour, but she ad- mitted that this woman had slept in the same bed as herself and her husband entirely with her concurrence and that subsequently to the conduct of which she found fault she went out for a drive with her husband on "as comfortable terms as ever she was in his life." The case was dismissed. THE HOME SECRETARY AND EDUCATION.—A new grammar school was opened on Monday, at Wigan, by Mr. Cross, who spoke of the deficiency which had been found to exist in the means of secondary education, and of the efforts made by the Endowed Schools Com- missioners to supply it. Their work was still proceed- ing, and he had the best hopes of the result. The Com- missioners had also provided secondary education for upwards of two thousand girls, who ought to be as highly educated as boys. He would be glad to see housekeeping and cookery taught more to the girls in the elementary schools. MR. GLADSTONE AND WELLINGTON COLLEGE.—Mr. Gladstone addressed the boys at Wellington College on Monday. He said no institution was more charactex-istic of our country than its public schools. Its peculiar feature was that the arrival of a boy at the public school was an anticipation of his after-life. If this College had not such traditions as the older public schools, it had in its name an unvarying example of single-minded devotion to public duty. The spirit of Wellington's life was that which should animate the scholars at a public school; and Mr. Gladstone concluded with an exhortation to his young hearers to realise the true ends of education. NEW MEDICAL SCHOOLS AT ST. BARTHOLOMEW'S.—The Prince and Princess of Wales, on Friday, opened the New Medical Schools at St. Bartholomew's Hospital, and the Prince expressed the deep interest which they took in everything connected with that ancient and excellent institution. Their Royal Highnesses were afterwards entertained at luncheon. The speakers were Sir Sydney Waterlow, treasurer of the hospital; Sir James Paget, Sir George Burrows, and Mr. Holden, senior surgeon. The schools, which have cost £30,000, comprise a library, museum, and class-rooms, which will accommodate, when completed, 400 students. ACTION FOR SLANDER AGAINST THE LORD MAYOR OF LONDON.—The London Stereoscopic Company, of which Mr. Alderman Nottage and Mr. Kennard are the pro- prietors, have taken the preliminary steps in an action in the Supreme Court for slander against Sir Charles Wetham, the Lord Mayor, for expressions used in his magisterial capacity on the recent hearing at the Mansion-house of a summons against a shopkeeper in the City on a charge of selling and exhibiting indecent photographs. The Lord Mayor, through his solicitors, has accepted service of the process with a view, accord- ing to his solicitors' explanation, of having "an opportunity of enlightening the public on the true facts of the case and justifying the course he has taken. THE LAWSON-LABOUCHERE CASE.—Thia case was again before Sir Robert Carden on Friday, but it was for the time brought to a sudden termination. Sir Robert had determined that he would not permit any further cross-examination of Mr. Levy Lawson, or the production of any further evidence in justification of the alleged libel, and he was supported in his view by the Attorney General, who declared, against the contention of Mr. Wildey Wright, that the case of "The Queen against Townsend" had never been over- ruled. Ultimately, the case was adjourned for a week, to give time for an application for a mandamus to the Court of Queen's Bench, to decide whether a magistrate is bound to receive evidence in justification of a libel. On Tuesday a rule was moved for in the Court of Queen's Bench, and granted. THE EARL OF CARNARVON AND PUBLIC BUILDINGS.— The Earl of Carnarvon laid the foundation stone of a New Town Hall, Free Library, Reading Rooms, Museum, and Schools for Science and Art at Reading on Monday. The buildings are estimated to cost £46,000, and of this sum £10,000 is contributed by the Corporation of the town. In the afternoon, at a luncheon, the noble Earl, responding to the toast of his health, said he knew nothing more remarkable than the extraordinary growth of public buildings in the great English towns during the last quarter of a century. He believed this meant both a much truer sense of beauty among the people than had existed for genera- tions, and also a nobler idea of public life. These buildings he regarded as a type of English life they were representative of a noble use of wealth, and they were taught the value of self-government. MR. LOWE AT GRANTHAM.—Mr. Lowe attended a Liberal meeting at Grantham on Tuesday night, and made a long speech on the political situation, urging upon the electors that they had to choose between two parties and two political systems, which he described to them. At the outset of his speech he met with some interruption, and only obtained a. hearing on the Chair- man intimating that the right hon. gentleman would decline to speak further if quiet was not restored. Mr. Lowe then argued that, Conservatives having when they came into office no principles, it occurred to the Premier that it was not necessary to do anything but merely keep himself and his friends in office. For this purpose he, for the past six years, had been stirring up a spurious feeling of dignity and patriotism in the minds of the vulgar, and left untouched every single matter of abuse at home, for the simple reason that the correction of abuse made people discontented, and was followed by a partial loss of support. The Government, he said, had made a boast of relieving local taxation, but he objected to the public at large being unjustly saddled to relieve some locality which probably ought in justice to bear its own burden.

Holrtifal miir (§lutxan nttlligtnn. THE electoral campaign; is being vigorously pro- se&tited; Up to Novetnberlst there were no fewer than S89-(!2tndidal;es in the field-foivihe "352 seats.. ANGLESEY.—A largely attended meeting of the Con- serv itive party was held last: week at Llangefni, when it was decided that both the county and borough slwnU. be contested. The names of the prospective candidates-have not transpired., but it is probable that they will be Colonel Hampton Lewis, who unsuccess- fully contested the borough at the last general election and Captain Pritchard-Rayner, who issued an address for the county, but withdrew in favour of Sir Richard Bulkeley. The sitting members are Messrs. R. Davies, and Morgan Lloyd, Q.C., Liberals. THE CONSERVATIVE DEMONSTRATION AT BIRMING- HAM.—The following letter has been received by the hon. secretaries of the National Union of Conservative and Constitutional Associations Lord Beaconsfield has received with much pleasure the resolution which you have forwarded to him from the National Con- servative Conference held in Birmingham on the 25th inst., and from the various large meetings held on the same occasion—namely, in Aston Great Hall, the Aston Skating Rink, and the open air meeting. Lord Beaconsfield would be glad if you would convey his thanks, through the gentlemen who presided at the several meetings, for their expressions of confidence in Her Majesty's Government." NORTH SHROPSHIRE.—The rumour of another contest in North Shropshire between Mr. Stanley Leighton and Mr. Salusbury Mainwaring has been revived, and is mentioned in some of the daily papers. It will be remembered that when these gentlemen fought for the seat, vacated by the late Lord Harlech in 1876, Mr. Stanley Leigh ton's majority was 37. Mr. Leighton will now have the advantage which the possession of a seat always gives to a candidate, together with the increase of popularity and respect which he has won amongst the Conservatives by his votes, his careful attention to the duties of his office, and his general conduct in Parlia- ment. On the other hand, the hon. member, though he never made a single promise to his opponents which they can justly charge him with having broken, will not again enjoy the Liberal support accorded to him at the last election. The Liberals cannot forgive Mr. Leighton for assailing Mr. Gladstone and encouraging the per- nicious reaction in favour of Protection, and the hon. member is far too sensible and high-minded to expect that they would. If, therefore, there should be another trial of strength between Mr. Leighton and Mr. Main- waring. it would be fought out on different grounds from those which the combatants occupied in 1876.— Oswestry Advertiser.

jforagn fnfelligeita. TURKEY. ENGLAND AND THE PROPOSED REFORM. Sir H. Layard has received from Sawas Pacha the most positive assurances that Russian influence is not predominating at the Porte. The Standard's Paris cor- respondent, too, is informed that the attempt of the Russians to induce the Sultan to set at nought the claims of England has utterly collapsed. Tuesday's telegrams from Constantinople give a contradiction to the rumour about an impending .Ministerial crisis there. There is, however, still considerable excitement in Stamboul on account of the expected arrival of the British squadron in Turkish waters. The Porte has telegraphed to Musurus Pacha on the subject, instruct- ing him to ask for information from Lord Salisbury. The Standard Constantinople correspondent telegraphs that Sir H. Layard is about to have an interview with the Sultan on the subject of the expected arrival of the English fleet in Turkish waters. Public opinion in Stamboul is still much excited by the action which has been taken by England, and bitter language is used by the newspapers. Count Zichy, the Austrian Ambassa- dor to the Porte (whose resignation of that post is now I certain), has arrived at Constantinople on his return, and is expected to give to the Sultan assurances of the friendly feeling entertained by Austria. According to a Renter's telegram from Constantinople, Sir H. Layard has semi-officially suggested the appointment of Baker Pacha, as Governor of Erzeroum, but Sawas Pacha, while declaring this to be impossible, offered to make him English commander of the Armenian Gendarmerie. The Russian newspapers consider that the demand made by the British Government constitutes a change of policy on the part of England, which would now undertake the defence of the Christians against the Turks. THE ENGLISH FLEET.—Admiral Hornby has been in- structed to take his squadron into Turkish waters by the 8th inst. and the fleet is likely to winter at Vourla or in Besika Bay. RUSSIA. THE MANUFACTURE OF ARMS.—The State manu- factories in Russia have been ordered to suspend all private contracts, and that they are busily employed in the manufacture of arms for the Government; as also are the arsenals, where the men are at work day and night. THE DEFEAT BY THE TURCOMANS.—The Berlin Correspondent of the Standard telegraphs particulars of the battle of Geok Tepe and the action of the Russian force sent against the Tekke tribes, after it became known that General Lazareff was dead. It seems that General Lomakin determined to march without loss of time, but the progress of the troops was slow, and it was September 8, ere they arrived before the fortifications of Denghil Tepe. It is not true, as has been stated, that the attack on the place was made by the Russian van only, for the van was assaulting the outworks of the principal fort when the main body arrived. There- upon most of the Turcomans retired from the outworks into the fort, which the van failed to take, notwith- standing a long assault. The main force was therefore ordered into position, but was received with a severe infantry fire. A charge followed, and then the defenders rushed out and slaughtered the Russians with the broadsword and pike. SPAIN. The Spanish Cortes re-opened on Monday, when it was announced by Marshal Martinez Campos that the King had resolved to marry the Archduchess Christine, in the conviction that the union would tend to promote the welfare of the country. THE FLOODS.—The news from Spain is still of dis- astrous gales and floods. Three provinces in the north- east have been seriously injured by the rise of the Ebro; and in the south, where the first disaster occurred, the rural districts and some towns are again under water. In Almeria sixty more persons have been drowned, forty houses destroyed, and fifteen hundred men have been thrown out of work by the flooding of the mines. ITALY. TRIAL FOR MURDER.—The extraordinary trial for murder which has been occupying the Assize Court at Rome for a considerable time came to a close on Friday. Signora Fadda, the wife of a captain in the army, had formed an improper intimacy with a circus rider named Cardinali, and she induced him to murder her husband. They were found guilty by the Jury. Cardinali was sentenced to death, and the woman to hard labour for life. INDIA. THE MISSION FROM BURMAH.—We learn by telegraph from Thyetmyo that the object of the Mission from Burmah is understood to be to re-establish diplomatic relations with England. The Embassy is still detained there pending the sanction of the Chief Commissioner to their going on. A European lady has been permitted to have an interview with the King, who stated that if attacked he should defend his frontier, but would offer no further defence. He thinks the English too im- patient in their demand for a revision of the treaty with his father. ZULULAND. We learn by telegraph from Madeira that Zululand is quiet, but the Transvaal is in a very excited and dis- contented state. It is confirmed that Colonel Lanyon has been ordered with the 1st Dragoons to Middleburg. where the Boers had interrupted the proceedings of a magistrate. According to another message from Algoa Bay these Boers are reported to have proclaimed a Re- public. Moirosi is receiving reinforcements and it is said was resolved upon attacking our camps. THE AFGHAN WAR. General Roberts has received information from Yakoob Khan that there are buried in Cabul about nine lacs of rupees, which belonged to the mother of Abdullah Jan, Shere Ali's favourite son. Soldiers have been set to work to discover this treasure if possible. Order is being restored along the Khyber route. The Shutargardan has been abandoned. Our troops are, in the villages through which they pass, collecting in kind the unpaid taxes which were due to the Ameer, and the stores thus obtained will be very acceptable for the use of our forces. The Ameer's treasure, which he was ordered to make over, was taken possession of on Saturday. It amounts probably to eight lacs. Accounts received prove that he seized nine lacs from Abdullah Jan's mother. The chief men of Cabul proper up to the Surkhab river, having received the proclamation of the British Administration from General Roberts, have notified their complaisance and are expected here, as are also the chief men about Tazin and Asmatullah Khan, the head of the Khyber tribe of Ghilzais, who had refused, pleading bad treatment after the Gandamak Treaty by the Ameer, who confiscated his property in defiance of the second clause of the Treaty.

In another column M_r.

FOOTBALL ASSOCIATION OF WALES. I WREXHAM V. XORTHWICH. The game, which wis played at Northwich on Octo- ber 25th, resulted in a draw, and the two clubs met in Wrexham on Saturday last, to play it off, commencing soon after three., and after some even play on both sides Price brought the ball down to the visitors' goal, and put it through the posts. The goal was not allowed, however, as "hands" had been previously called.. The Northwich team then played with great determination, and the home team's goal was in jeopardy more than once. Up to half time neither side had scored, but a short time afterwards Wrexham got a free kick for hands within a few yards of their opponents' goal. A struggle ensued, which the defenders got the best of. Just within five minutes of time being called T. Jones sent the ball well up to the Northwich goal; one of their backs just touched it, and Price put it through the posts and scored a goal. The visitors disputed the goal on the ground that the ball had been previously handled by one of the Wrexham men, but as the referee did not see it, and the whistle had not been blown, the goal was allowed. An effort was made by the visitors to retrieve their fortunes, but although they succeeded in getting the ball up to the mouth of the Wrexham goal, Davies stopped it from going further, and the game ended in favour of the home eleven by one goal to none. A more wretched afternoon for out-door sport of any kind could scarcely have been obtained, but this did not prevent a considerable number from watching the game. Both sides played extremely well, and struggled hard, and although the visitors' goal-keeper had a little more to do than his confrere, the game on the whole was very even. The names of the players were TTrexltaiii. -Goal, J. Davies; backs, H. Edwards and T. Jones; half-backs, E. A. Cross and F. Owen; riht side, T. Boden and T. Hughes; left side, J. Lloyd and J.

The tie between these clubs was played on the ground of the latter, on Saturday last, in miserable weather. Play commenced at three o'clock, and in fifteen minutes a goal was secured by A. Richards for the Service. No furthur score was obtained until some twenty minutes after half time, when a scrimmage took place in front of the Service goal, and the ball was forced through. This equalised the score, and notwithstanding the vigorous efforts of both sides, no more goals were got, and the game was thus left drawn. Foresters. -Goal, S. Davies; backs, R. Williams and S.

Favour- able replies have been received from clubs at Carnarvon, Rhyl, Conway, Flint, Bangor, and other towns, and the High Sheriff of Carnarvonshire, Mr. Kneeshaw, has agreed to accept the presidency. Mr. Frank Barber is honorary secretary, and Mr. Pugh, of the National Provincial Bank, Bangor, hon treasurer. ————————— DENBIGH ARTIZANS v. MOLD Towx CLUB.—These clubs met for the first time last Saturday, at Denbigh, and after a well contested game, resulted in a victory for the home team. RUTH IX r. RHYL.—On Saturday last the Rhyl team and the Ruthin first eleven had an hour's contest, resulting in three goals for Ruthin to none. The late arrival of the Ithyl team unfortunately accounted for so short a trial of strength. The Kuthin second eleven went to Rhyl and beat the second eleven there by two goals to one.

THE epPEn SEVERN AND VERNIEW, &C. Salmon angling closes in the Severn fishery district on Saturday. It has been the best season for the rod ever known, about one hundred salmon have been killed. A good rod season of course means a bad one for the nets, and the nets above Shrewsbury have caught considerably less salmon than the rods. The fish taken by the rods were all caught above the mouth of the Verniew, and only three of them in the Severn. Some very fine fish have been landed by the rods-24Jb" 251b., 2(Jlb., being at the head of the list. Nearly all the fish were taken in the Verniew and Banw, the latter being unusually productive. Contrary to the usual custom, but few fish have been taken in October. The "water has been so low the whole of the month that there has been but little chance, although the rivers are alive with fish- such abundance of fish I have never seen before. Salmon anglers may be congratulated on having made the best score ever recorded in the district, and of fish worth catching, while their condition was good, as I before remarked, but few have fallen to the rod this month, when they are of little value, except in a sporting point of view. A good 201b. "kipper" will, however, show some fine sport, and they are better out of the water than in-there are too many male fish at present. The rivers are now lower than they have been all the year, in fact, they are at summer level.—A. (October 29), in The Field.

IRON AND COA L. BARROW-IN-FURX2SS. Mo-ndav.—Th' jre are evidence this morning of increased steadiness in the iroe.AJid steel trades. The output of the furnaces ha-s been consider- ably increased during the past few weeks, and. much of the accumulated iron has been sent away. Prices are steady, but it is reported that round quantities of bessemer have been sold during the week at 655. per toil, while forge qualities have been bought in large parcels at about 70s. Bessemer is ordinarily a few shillings dearer than forge, but a fluctuation has taken piace as f. result of several orders for this quality of metal having been booked. Steelmaker's are still very busy, and several new orders have lately been booked. Coal is in improved request, and prices are firmer. Shipciag is rather quieter than of late. MIDDLESBOROUGH, Tuesday.—The attendance was small, and business was very quiet, though prices were firmer than yesterday, when No. 3 was done by merchants at 39s. 6d. per ton, to-day 40s. and even 41s. were obtained, with merchants more disposed to hold. Forge iron is scarce, and holders get their own price for It; this quality is usually sold Is. per ton cheaper than No. 3. but to-day it is Is. dearer. The Weardale Iron Company will blow a furnace in at Tudhoe this week. Connal's warrant store shows a large increase in stock they hold to-day close upon 90.000 tons. The iron- master's stocks for October are expected to show a decrease of at least 20,000 tons. The manufactured iron trade is slowly improving, but there is no spurt. Ship plates are held at .1:6 10s. common bars f6. WOLVERHAMPTON, Wednesday.—There has been a firm market. Hematite pigs could not be bought under 80s. per ton, and 1000 tons had been sold at that advanced figure. Staffordshire allmine pigs were quoted at 75s., and only small lots could be got at 70s. cinder pigs were selling at 50s. Finished iron was firm at recent advances. Marked bars could not be bought under a rise of 20s. on last issued lists. Earl Dudley's bars were JE9 2s. 6d. Coal well maintained last week's rise of Is.

AGRICULTURE. THE Times announces a discovery which promises to drive salted butter from the market. It has been found out, says our contemporary, and proved by experiment, that butter can be kept fresh for months without salt by the addition of an ingredient which is declared to be harmless. THE CORN TRADE.—The Mark Lane Express says — "The weather has been bad during the past week, and proved a hindrance alike to threshing and sowing. Late as it is, crops have not yet been all secured, even in the southern counties, where many fields of beans are still exposed to the action of the weather; while in the later district in Scotland the harvest of oats still drags wearily along. Irish advices, however, contrast favour- ably with those from other parts of the United King- dom. The oat crop is heavy, barley has yielded fairly, and wheat has exceeded previous expectations. Roots have made some progress of late, but general dissatis- faction is expressed at the miserable prices which store cattle of all descriptions are fetching. Farmers have been busily engaged in preparing for winter sow- ing. Notwithstanding the damp weather, a good deal of English wheat has been threshed out lately, with results which fully confirm the general shortness of the season's crop. The condition of the bulk of the wheat offered for sale during the past week, both in London and the country, has been anything hut good indeed, really sound corn fit for milling or sowing has been comparatively rare, and unaffected by the decline of Is. to 2s. per quarter generally quoted.

THE RURAL AUTHORITY AND THE SEWERAGE OF RUAEON. TO THE EDITOR OF THE GUAItDIAN. SIR,—The question of the sewerago of Ruibou came before the Rural Sanitary Authority Tuesday last, and in the course of the discussion Mr. Glennie was asked several questions in regard to the Pneumatic System of Sewerage, the replies to which were far from satisfactory. I have no interest in advocating Mr. Shone's system beyond the interest we all have in seeing a good thing, adopted. I have carefully studied Mr. Shone's system, and I think I understand it, and I have no hesitation in saying that whoever adopts a system of ordinary pumping and refuses the pneumatic system will do a veiy foolish thing. The Authority, to some extent, are guided by their engineer, and therefore the latter should be careful in what he advises, remembering, also, that there are several outsiders who watch his recoaimeadations. Mr. Shone's system is especially applicable to the circumstances of Ruabon instead of che contrary as Mr. Gienuio asserted. He also said that his system would be especially exper-sive if applied to Ruabon, and much more so than his system of pumping. Mr. Glennie's estimate or the cost, I fear, is considerably below what would really have to be expended if his plan were carried into effect, but the details I will not go into now; and I feel equally sure that Mr. Shone's system could be carried out at a total which should be much below the cost of Mr. Gienme's pumping scheme, and be conducted at a much less sum per annum afterwards. The relative efficiency of each is a matter beyond dispute to hose who understand the merits of the pneumatic system. Mr. Glennie does not seem to understand Mr. Shone's system, and if so, he should say nothing about it. Let me also suggest to the Authority tnat before they finally decide anything in regard to Ruabon and Mr. Shone's system, that they examine the matter a little for themselves and not put all information on one side as several did the pamphlet on the Sransty sewerage. Those members who cannot form an opinion for themselves on this point should read the words of the most eminent of Engineers on Mr. Shone's system, which are unani- mously in favour of it. They can obtain those opinions by reading the newspaper reports of the two large meetings of engineers held in the Town Hall not long ago. and which included amongst its members the most impartial and rising engineers of the day. I hope the committee appointed will not overlook the merits and cheapness of Mr. Shone's system, and that the Authority will give it fair play.—Yours, NOMEN. Wrexham, Nov. 6th, 1879.

LIVERPOOL, Tuesday.—To-day's market was not numerously attended by buyers, and for wheat there was but a limited demand, though at Friday's full prices, and in some instances at a slight advance thereon. Flour ruled generally firm in presence of a rather better inquiry. Oats were again quiet, but in other respects without alteration. Oatmeal moved slowly into con- sumption at unchanged figures. Egyptian beans and Canadian peas, in the transactions reported, realised late currencies. Malt and barley, though attracting but little attention, obtained the rates of last market day.
