THE ESTABLISHED CHURCH. APPOINTMENT.—We learn that the Rev. W. Richard- "Ion has been appointed one of the Honorary Canons of St. Asaph Cathedral. THE autumnal conference of the Church Association was held at Southport on Wednesday and Thursday.. THE Bishop of Peterborough, who is to be the Presi- dent of the Church Congress next year, has fixed it to begin at Leicester on September 28ch. THE Bishop and Dean and Chapter of Chester have requested the Archbishop of York to take steps to allow the Greater Chapter of Chester more scope for action. CHURCHYARDS.—Three of the Bishops have distinctly advised their clergy not to enlarge their churchyards. The Bishop of Lincoln, who says that 400 churchyards in his diocese ought to be closed, advises this course the Bishop of Peterborough trusts that churchwardens and clergy, instead of providing additional burial ground —an additional loophole ready for their enemies—would take advantage of the new Actthe Bishop of Ely says, "I most earnestly pray both clergy and church wardens to lay aside all idea for the time to come of enlarging their churchyards."

CHESTER.—Some time ago, writes a London corres- pondent, I mentioned a rumour that Mr. Dodson would quit the representation of Chester and return to his own county division of East Sussex, and the speech he delivered on Friday in the chief town of that division gives fresh colour to the report. CHESHIRE.—On Tuesday a conference of Liberals was held in Chester for the purpose of taking action with reference to contesting the western division of the counts of Chester at the next election. It was unani- mously decided to bring forward a Liberal candidate, and a committee was appointed with that view.

IRON AND COAL. SOUTH WALES COAL TRADE.—At Cardiff on Tuesday, a meeting of the Associated Coalowners of Monmouth- shire and South Wales was held. A deputation representing the house coal colliers of the district asked for an advance of wages, considering the improvement in the trade. The coalowners considered the application was premature, but suggested that the sliding scale might be re-started. NORTH WALES SLATE TRADE.—It is reported in Bethesda that, owing to the recent heavy fall at the Penrhyn quarries, the bargains on the left side will not be re-let at the next monthly letting. Should this step be carried into effect about 700 men will be thrown out of employment. Both at the Penrhyn and Llanberis quarries, the working days are limited to four weekly. In the Festiniog district, full time has been worked some weeks, and the shipments at Portmadoc are greatly on the increase. TRADE IN NORTH WALES.—The Mining World, in its current issue, publishes an article entitled A Round at the Lead Mines." In it it says "Den high- shire is doing fairly well, and it is the belief of many persons, and notably of those who are actually working underground, that an important discovery is not far off. A fresh discovery has lately been noticed at Gorsedd." Y ith regard to the Minera mine it remarks "The Minera is also opening out well, but it has been felt and expression has been given to this sentiirent in our own columns, that the management is too lethargic, the Board too ornamental, and the expenses too heavy. The last meeting held, as someone has said, in the 'Wilds of Wales,' was not edifying to the absent shareholders, and there were features in connection with it not calculated to inspire one with confidence in the system of holding meetings away from some accessible centre. A small dividend was paid, and there is the prospect of a larger one next time." The corres- pondent of the same paper in his' notes from North Wales states that a better trade is being done in Holywell; in connection with the prosperity of the town I may note the great activity at the Holywell lime quarries, the advance in chemicals is most im- portant for the proprietors. Coal is rising, and a local company has recently purchased the Wern Colliery on on advantageous terms, which is likely to do well."

AGRICULTURE. THE CORN TRADE.—The Mark Lane Express says— During the week the absence of both rain and fog has been of great service to farmers, who have been enabled to continue wheat sowing under more favour- able conditions, while at the same tipie the thrashing has been facilitated, and the condition of new wheat improved thereby. Seeding operations are now fairly forward in the southern and some of the midland counties. In the higher districts of Scotland, harvest work is still much in arrear. The growth of roots has also been much checked, it being considered unlikely that the out-turn will exceed half an average. Irish reports are somewhat less unfavourable."

FOOD ADULTERATION.—Dr. Tripe, public analyst of the Hackney district, reports, that all the samples of cocoa he examined, except one, were sold as mixtures of cocoa, arrowroot and sugar, the exception being Cad- bury's Cocoa Essence, which was genuine. The quantity of starch in the other samples varied between 67 and 80 per cent., so that allowing for sugar, there was not in some of them more than 10 per cent. of cocoa. An article like this WM comparatively valueless as a food."

FOOTBALL ASSOCIATION OF WALES. A general committee meeting was held on Wednesday at the Wynnstay Arms Hotel, Ruabon, und r the presidency of Evan Morris, Esq. There were two dis- putes to be settled, one between Ruthin and Llangollen, and the other between Wrexham and North v,-ich. The latter was taken first, and after two hours and a half's discussion, it was decided that, as the referee had been called in, and given his decision that the goal kicked by Wrexham was a fair one, the objection be overruled. There have been several alterations made in the rules through this dispute. With regard to the other diffi- culty between Ruthin and Llangolleli, it was arranged that the game be played off again on or before the 22nd inst. The tie between the Civil Service and the Gwer- syllt Foresters was decided to be played off on the 22nd inst. at Wrexham. The following ties were then drawn :— Wrexham v. Druids, at Wrexham. Civil Service or Foresters v. White Star, at Newtown. Albion v. Excelsior, at \Vrf>xham. Rhyl v. Aberystwith (unfixed). Ruthin or Llangollen v. Corwen (unfixed). All the above ties are to be played off before December 27th. A vote of thanks to the Chairman concluded the meeting.

WELSH ASSOCIATION CHALLENGE CUP. FIRST TIES. CIVIL SERVICE V. GWERSYLLT FORESTERS. The Civil Service (Wrexham) having played a drawn game with the Gwersyllt Foresters at Gwersyllt the previous Saturday, they met to contend for supremacy on the Recreation-ground, Wrexham, on Saturday last, in beautiful weather, in the first round of the Welsh Challenge Cup. The game was very evenly contested throughout, and no goals were obtained up to half time. At change of ends the Gwersyllt forwards played up with great dash, and pressing their opponents soon obtained a goal. Afterwards the Civil Service played up with great vigour, and the game resulted in a draw, the Civil Service obtaining a goal two minutes before the call of time. The teams were as follows :— Civil Service.—Goal, E. Phennah; back?, G. Thomas and T. Monitor; half-backs, J. Pickering, T. Davies, and R. Davies; left wing, W. Jones and A. Richards; right wing J. Grant and J. H.Jones; centre, J. Forkin. Umpire, Mr. Burgess. Gwersyllt Foresters.—Goal, J. Davies; backs, R. Williams and K. Davies; half-backs, G. Roberts, W. Tuder (captain), and C. Roberts left wing, W. MacHutchin and J. Griffiths; right wing, T. Ellis and R. Dodd; centre, E. Williams. Umpire, Mr. Price. Referee, Dr. Parry. EXCELSIOR (NEWTON) V. ALL SAINTS (SHREWSBURY). This tie was decided on the ground of the latter on Saturday, in favour of the former by six goals to nil. Two other goals were kicked for the Excelsiors, but the players were ruled off-side. The first goal was scored by Morgan in less than five minutes from the start. Three corner kicks were then obtained, but it was not until twenty-eight minutes from the commencement that D. Williams secured the second goal. In five minutes more Morgan got the third goal, and before half-time D. Williams placed a fourth to the credit of his side. On changing ends two more goals were obtained in less than twenty minutes, by D. Williams and Gittins respectively, but during the remainder of the game the play was somewhat more even, the home team playing with more spirit; and although they sue- cessfully defended their own goal, they did not seriously menace that of their opponents.

LANCASHIRE V. NORTH WALES. The match between these well-known teams will be played on Wrexham Racecourse, this day (Saturday); kick off at three p.m. Additional interest is attached to the game this season, the first match last season having resulted in a draw, Lancashire winning the second by one goal.

CHALLENGER BOYS.—This match was played on the ground of the former on Saturday last, and resulted in a victory for the Grosvenors by five goals to two. WREXHAM v. BIRKENHEAD.—A match between these two clubs took place at Birkenhead on Saturday last. The visitors, who had much the best of the game, and had scored three goals when just before time. The Birkenhead club put the ball through the posts, but it was disputed. The game thus ended in favour of Wrex- ham by three goals to the disputed. Wrexham—Goal, J. Davies backs, H. Edwards and T.

AFGHANISTAN. THE preparations for winter are rapidly progressing. The Bala Hissar is fast being dismantled, and the wood of its buildings is being taken to the British canton- ments. Baker's brigade has gone off on a mission of political importance, but its destination is kept strictly secret.

SOUTH AMERICA. CAPTURE OF PISAGUA BY THE CHILIANS.—A com- bined attack by land and sea has been made on Pisasrua, and the place taken after a bombardment of five hours— 300 Chilians killed and wounded. It is rumoured that a revolution has broken out in Lima. Pisagua is a small port situate about thirty-five miles north of Iquique, and sixty-five miles south of Arica. The Peruvian army, supposed to be some twelve thousand strong, occupies the former place, whilst the Bolivians, in about the same force, are encamped at or near Arica. In taking Pisagua, therefore, the Chilians have driven a wedge between their two opponents, and their hope, no doubt, is that they may be able to crush the Peruvian army before the Bolivians can come to their aid. The stroke is a bold one, and the next news will be looked for with great interest. As the Chilians have no means of get- ting troops to Pisagua except by sea, the statement that a combined attack by land and sea had been made means, no doubt, that the Chilians landed a force and assaulted the place under cover of the guns of their fleet.

LIVERPOOL, Tuesday.—At to-day's market with not more than an average attendance of buyers and a quiet feeling, wheat met but a limited request, prices receding to the extent of Id. to 2d. per cental. Flour, though reduced, as in quality. 3d. to 6d. per cental, proved most difficult to move. Oats attracted little or no attention and to have forced sales lower figures must have been accepted. Oatmeal ruled slow at a reduction of 2d. per 100 lbs. Egyptian beans, though inactive, closed with- out change in value. Canadian peas gave way Id. per cental.

HOLLO WAY'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.

COUNT SCHOUVALOFF'S resignation of the post of Ambassador to this country has been accepted by the Russian Emperor. His excellency will remain a member of the Council of the Empire. IN reply to the request of a deputation which waited on him on Tuesday, the Lord Mayor has accepted the Chairmanship of the Committee of the Rowland Hill Memorial Eund, and promised by his personal exertions to help on the movement. COLLIERY EXPLOSION. — On Wednesday afternoon there was an explosion of firedamp at a colliery in the Wolverhampton district belonging to the Pelsall Coal and Iron Company. Only six persons were in the pit at the time, and all lost their lives. SCHOOL BOARD CONTESTS EVADED. — Three of the Birmingham Conservative candidates and one of the in- dependant candidates have withdrawn upon the under- standing that the "Liberal eight" would allow the Bible to be read in the board schools. A contest has also been avoided at Liverpool by the withdrawal of all the candidates in excess of the number required. LORD MAYOR'S SHOW.—This event took place on Monday, in rather gloomy weather. The procession, which left the Guildhall soon after twelve o'clock, in- cluded a large number of bands, the boys of the training ship Exmouth, a detachment of Metropolitan Fire Brigade men in uniform, and the boys of the Marine Society. In Upper Thames-street, at the entrance to the ward which Sir F. Truscott represents, an address was presented to his Lordship, who thanked the Reception Committee, on behalf of Lady Truscott and himself, for their expression of confidence. The route of the procession was over London and Southwark Bridges, and along Fleet-street and the Strand, to Westminster; and the return was made by the Thames Embankment. Along the whole route there were crowds of people, who heartily cheered the new Lord Mayor. The Recorder of London, in presenting the Lord Mayor to the Judges of the Exchequer, gave an outline of the life and of the civic career of Sir F. Truscott. In the absence of the Lord Chief Baron, Mr. Baron Pollock spoke of the important part which had been fulfilled in the past by the citizens of London, and of the administration of the large tracts of land which the Corporation had acquired, of the local Law Courts, and of the sanitary arrangements for the bnefit of the working classes, which would be part of the Lord Mayor's labours. From his past experience he had no doubt that Sir Francis would discharge the duties of his high office honourably and well. About nine hundred guests were present at the Lord Mayor's banquet at the Guildhall in the evening. They included, with the exception of Lord Sandon, the whole of the members of the Cabinet. Lord Chelmsford and the German Ambassador were also present. Colonel Stanley for the army, and Mr. Smith for the navy, responded to their respective toasts, and maintained that both forces were in a proper state of efficiency, and equal to any demand that might be made upon them. The Earl of Beacons- field, who was received with loud cheers, in responding to the toast of Her Majesty's Ministers," maintained that the revival of trade which had lately taken place was of a permanent and not a transitory character. The revival in the iron trade was traceable not only to ex- traneous but native industry. In the chemical trade the revival was extreme, and orders could not be met. A still greater matter of congratulation was the admirable conduct of the English people during a period of almost unequalled five years' depression. He failed to see that a remedy for Ireland consisted in political agitation and social confusion. The Irish people had never appealed in vain to England, and the English sympathy generally assumed a very substantial embodiment. Our oper- ations with regard to the north-western frontier of India had met with signal success, and the supremacy of our arms had beed maintained, also our influence had been clearly established in Central Asia. His lordship then alluded to the Zulu Campaign, main- taining that it had taught a lesson to the colonists, who in the future must endeavour to befriend themselves as far as they could. He had a conviction that peace would be maintained in Europe and for a long period. He would not say peace was inevitable, but of this he felt very certain, that if England deserted her natural post in the Councils of Europe war was too probable. He spoke thus frankly because he was convinced that they would never be bewildered by the sophistry that would teach them that to maintain their empire they must forfeit their freedom. In conclusion, he ex- pressed a hope that, on that day twelve months, he would be again present in that hall ready to congratu- late his lordship on his skilful administration of a brilli- ant reign. Other Ministers followed.
