OTHER DENOMINATIONS. OPENING OF A ROMAN CATHOLIC CHURCH AT OSWESTRY.—On Saturday, a Roman Catholic church, to be called the Church of Our Lady Help of Christians and St. Oswald, which has been erected near Castle- street, Oswestry, at the sole cost of Mr. T. Longueville, of Llanforda, was opened for public service by Dr. Knight, Bishop of Coricum (auxiliary bishop of Shrewsbury). The church, which is of iron, and con- tains sittings for 200 persons, was erected by Messrs. Kent and Co., London. A very handsome tabernacle and canopy, by Hardman, of Birmingham, was the gift of Mr. Ferrert Croxon and the candlesticks, also by Hardman, were presented by the congregation. A beautiful statue of Our Lady of Lourdes was presented by Mrs. Longueville.

Court, ticc. THE QUEEN, accompanied by Princess Beatrice, left Balmoral on Tuesday afternoon for Windsor.

PRINCE LEOPOLD is to be created a duke, with the title of the Duke of Kent. THE KING AND QUEEN OF DENMARK intend to visit Berlin this week, and will be received by the Empress and the Crown Prince, who will return to Berlin for the special purpose. THE death of the venerable Countess de Montijo mother of Eugenie, Ex-empress of the French is an- nounced. Deceased was a lady of many amiable qualities, and lineally descended from the ancient Scotch border family of Kilpatrick.

MR. GLADSTONE'S ELECTION TOUR IN SCOTLAND. Mr. Gladstone, accompanied by his wife and daughter, left Liverpool on Monday morning for Edinburgh; and it would be somewhat difficult to say how many addresses he received, and how many speeches he made en route. The demonstrations of his admirers took place at Preston, Carlisle, and Galashields, during the brief periods for which the train was timed to stay and at the two latter places deputations from other towns, some at a considerable distance, were present with written expressions of confidence and attachment. On crossing the Border Mr. Gladstone received several gifts of Scotch tweed, and Mrs. Gladstone was presented with a plaid and jewellery, subscribed for by the work- ing classes. In one of his speeches the right hon. gentleman said no Government of England for half a century had introduced so many mischievous and new- fangled measures as the present Government, with the effect of vexing and annoying the people of this country, and compromising the interests of the Empire. He stated also that he had come to Scotland to vindicate the freedom of the electors, which had been attacked by the manufacture of faggot votes. At Edinburgh he had a great popular reception; and upon the Rosebery estate, as he drove with the noble owner to Dalmeny, the tenants with lighted torches lined the route. Mr. Gladstone opened the campaign in Midlothian on Tuesday, when he addressed a crowded audience in the Music Hall, Edinburgh. He spoke for an hour and three- quarters, more than half of his address being devoted to the consideration of foreign affairs. He referred to the circumstances under which he came before the constitu- ency, pointing out that he did not come unasked. A dissolution of Parliament he insisted ought to come at once. It was only differed because, anticipating an un- favourable answer from the constituencies, the Govern- ment desired to prolong its own existance. He had come to Midlothian to repeat his indictment of the Government for its blundering foreign policy, and for the serious responsibilities which it had imposed upon the nation. The "errors" of that policy and their immediate results were alluded to in some detail, and the right hon. gentleman said those who should succeed to this inheritance of difficulty were not to be envied. When the Liberal Government left office there was not a cloud on the horizon in foreign affairs. Why could not Lord Beaconsfield be satisfied with the Empire which had been sufficient for all our Premiers from Pitt to Russell ? He believed that the recent decisions of the House of Commons were opposed to the wishes of the country and he called upon the electors to make their real feelings known. The Lord Provost of Edinburgh and the Town Council, after the Music-Hall meeting on Tuesday, presented Mr. Gladstone with an address. The right hon. gentleman, in replying, referred to his early and intimate knowledge of Edinburgh. Touching upon a sentence in the address, he said his ambition in life was no narrower nor meaner than a deep sympathy with all peoples struggling towards freedom and unity, which tendency in the present day was, he added, developing a remarkable and mysterious epoch in the world's history. At the Corn Exchange, Dalkeith, Mr. Gladstone delivered on Wednesday afternoon the second of his election addresses. He commenced with a short summary of his previous attack upon the foreign policy of the Government, as a policy devoid of prudence, by involving this country in new and strange engagements in almost every part of the world. Turning to home matters, he cautioned the electors against expecting immediate benefit when the Liberals return to office, as they will succeed to an inheritance of financial con- fusion, and will have at first to deal with the perplexing consequences of the errors of the present Administra- tion. Scotland, he contended, was inadequately represented in the House of Commons. He accepted the conclusion that the law of hypothec ought to be abolished. He saw no reason for objecting to the principle of local option in regard to the liquor laws. The disestablishment of the Church of Scotland was a question for the people to determine, and the friends of the Church must ask that it should not be condemned without having a fair trial. As to the land laws, he was heartily with the tenant in his struggle to obtain all possible freedom in his method of cultivation. The law of entail and settlement should be repealed. It was a strange anomaly that the counties should remain without representative institut- ions. He was friendly to granting large local prero- gatives, and if Ireland, or any other part of tho United Kingdom, was desirous and able to arrange the local portion of its affairs it would relieve an over-weighed Parliament and accomplish a great national good.

IRON AND COAL. MESSRS CBAWSHAY have effected a compromise with their iron-ore-miners. An advance of 10 per cent. is to be granted in instalments. THE COLLIERS WAGES.—The men employed at various collieries in Lancashire and Cheshire on Mon- day made formal application for a 10 per cent. advance in wages, and the adoption of a sliding scale. The master's reply will be given next week.

AGRICULTURE. AN official notice in Tuesday's London Gazette an- nounces that the Board of Trade have received a notifi- cation that it has been decided to prohibit the export of cereals to foreign countries from all provinces of the Turkish empire, with the exception of the villayets of Syria and Adana, and the sandjacks of Smyrna and Trikhala. THE CORN TRADE.—The Mark Lane Express says- Recent falls of snow have stopped wheat sowing and carting of mangels, but fortunately wheat sowing had made considerable progress. Fears are, however, ex- pressed that in some districts, the prospects of the future crops have been to some extent jeopardised by the quality of the seed corn, really good samples being difficult to obtain. Mangels are yielding badly, and indeed it may be said of roots generally that about half an average crop will be all that will reward growers this year. In Scotland agricultural affairs are more back- ward, but every exertion is being made to regain lost time, and if the weather only prove propitious for another fortnight, we may expect to hear of a fair breadth of land under winter crops. Outstanding cereals have now been secured, but by no means of the choicest quality. Supplies of English wheat at the country markets have been on a rather more liberal scale. Dulness has been the prevailing feature in the provincial trade for both wheat and spring corn, a decline of a shilling per quarter having been quoted on the former in many important exchanges. The imports of foreign wheat into London have been unusually heavy."

Jilerarg. THE BOOK MARKET.—There is, perhaps, no branch of business that suffers more during any political ex- citement or general depression than that of books. They are a luxury, and one of the first expenses given up by private families. It is, therefore, very encouraging to find, as another instance of the revival in trade, and in confirmation of the cheering aspect which was men- tioned by the Prime Minister on Monday at the Guild- hall banquet, that at Mr. Murray's annual trade dinner at the Albion, in Aldergate-street, Friday, November 7th, there was a much larger attendance of buyers than during the last three or four years, and that the orders for the forthcoming new books of the season were, on the whole, very satisfactory, as the following results will show. Of the first volume of The Life of Bishop Wilberforce," by the late Canon Ash well, nearly 3,000 copies were taken, and it was stated that the late author had not only completed this volume before his lamented death, but had laid down his scheme for the second and future volumes; 800 copies of Miss Bird's "Ride on Horseback among the Rocky Mountains 1,100 of the Dean of Westminster's Memoir of Edward and Catherine Stanley 600 Life of Erasmus Darwin 500 of the Archbishop of York's Essays on Word, Work, and Will;" 400 "Life of Bishop Mill- man 1,200 Whymper's Account of his Ascent of the Matterhorn;" 400 of Captain Gill's Journey to the River of Golden Sand;" 1,000 Mrs. Barbauld's hymns, illustrated; 500 Mrs. Houstoun's "Wild Life in the West of Ireland 250 Mr. Villiers Stuart's "Nile Gleanings;" 500 Dr. Percy's new volume on the "Metalluigy of Silver and Gold 400 Dean Milman's Handbook of St. Paul's Cathedral;" 400 Dr. George Smith's Life of Dr. Wilson of Bombay 1,500 Dr. Smith's Dictionary of Christian Antiquities," vol. 2 (completing the work); 1,000 Dr. Smith's Dictionary of Christian Biography," vol. 2. It was also a very good sign and shows that the revived activity was not in any way confined to the new reading books of the season, but extended to standard works in general and educational literature, by the following numbers being sold: 4,200 "The Speakers Commentary on the Holy Bible;" 1,800 Dr. Smith's Bible Dictionaries; 1,500 Darwin's Works 900 Sir Charles Lyell's "Students' Elements of Geology 1,500 Dean Stanley's Histories 1,700 volumes of Grotes "History of Greece;" 900 volumes of Canon Robertson's "History of the Christian Church;" 1,200 Dean Milman's Histories 9,000 Dr. Samuel Smile's Popular Biographies; 8,500 Murray's Students' Historical Manuals; 26,000 Dr. Smith's Latin Course 5,000 Dr. Smith's Greek Course; 3,000 Dr. Smith's French, German, and Italian Course 8,000 Dr. Smith's English Course; 9,000 Dr. Smith's Smaller Series of Histories 2,200 Dr, Smith's Classical Dictionaries; 8,500 Dr. Smith's Latin Dictionaries 900 Professor Newth's "Natural Philosophy;" 5,000 Mrs. Markham's Histories 14,000 Little Arthur's History of England 1,400 Hallam's Histories, 1,500 volumes of Gladstone's "Gleanings," 1,300 Smiles "Lives of the Engineers."—The Times, November, 1879.

Jfoniign ItxfcIIigma, SPAIN. THE Archduchess Christine arrived at Madrid on Sunday morning, and was met at the railway station by the King and his sisters. The Archduchess and her mother were escorted to the Pardo Palace by the Court dignitaries and authorities. TURKEY. THE REFORMS.—The Sultan has entertained Sir H. Layard and Baker Pacha at dinner, and (according to a Reuter's telegram) expressed "very satisfactory views with respect to the mission of the latter. His Majesty, it is added, has ordered a modification of the too positive terms of his firman relative to Baker Pacha's powers of inspection. The gendarmerie is to be placed under the Ministry of War. Baker Pacha had another audience of the Sultan on Monday, and was to leave Constantinople the following day. According to Baker's plan the Turkish police will consist of 60,000 men, who would act as a military reserve in time of war. INDIA. We learn, by a telegram direct from Cabul, a wire having been now laid to that city, that General Roberts has had a skirmish with the natives, which resulted in several of the villages belonging to the latter being burned. A severe frost prevails, but most of the troops are already hutted. Engineers are now occupied in surveying a proposed practicable railway route to Candahar. SOUTH AFRICA. BY the arrival of another mail at Madeira we have news from Cape Town to November 4th. Secocoeni's stronghold is to be stormed by Sir G. Wolseley. In the Transvaal the aspect of affairs is still threatening, and it is stated that an outbreak may occur at any moment. SOUTH AMERICA. THE WAR BETWEEN CHILI AND PERU.—Some parti- culars have been received at Panama respecting the capture of Pisagua on November 2nd, which, it seems, was effected by 12,000 Chilians, who embarked under cover of the guns of the fleet. There was considerable loss of life. The Bolivian troops who formed the garrison evacuated the place and retired towards Iquique. They met the Peruvian forces, and both awaited the Chilian advance. A battle was daily ex- pected. Private telegrams received at Paris on Monday state that this battle had taken place at Iquique, and resulted in the defeat of allied forces. A Peruvian corvette had also been captured by the Chilians. A telegram from Havana reports that the Spanish troops had attacked the insurgents in the district of Santiago de Cuba on the 15th inst., and burned 400 huts. Six of the Spaniards were killed.

dfiurai InMligwte. THE death is announced of Mrs. Charles Dickens, widow of the famous novelist, and daughter of George Hogarth. THE PRINCE OF WALES has written a letter to the Mansion House Committee expressing his willingness to become an honorary patron of the Rowland Hill Memorial Fund. DEATH OF SERJEANT COX.—Edward William Cox, serjeant-at-law, died suddenly on Monday night, in his 71st year.- He was raised to the degree of serjeant-at- law in 1868, founded the Law Times, was president of the Psychological Society, and Recorder ef Portsmouth. THE SEA FISHERIES OF ENGLAND.—The Commis- sioners appointed to inquire into the Sea Fisheries of England and Wales have presented their report. They state there is no evidence that the supply of fish generally is decreasing, and that in those cases in which the supply is decreasing there is no evidence that the decrease is due to wasteful fishing or over fishing. Considerable injury, however, is done by trawlers, both to drift fishermen and to hook and line fishermen, and it has increased since the introduction of steam trawling, but it is usually accidental. They make a large number of recommendations on the subject. THE ABERCARN COLLIERY ACCIDENT FUND.—The Trustees of the Fund have solved a difficulty which many in their position have been sorely troubled over. They had to deal with more money than it was thought prudent to squander in committee meetings, depu- ations, legal consultations, dinners, &c., and applied to Vice-Chancellor Maling to decide what was to be done with the Funds in their hands. The learned judge has approved of a scheme for the investment of the fund. The sum of £59,000 was collected by public subscription and only JE7000 had been expended. The court ordered the investment of the money in municipal securities. The annuities are to be paid to the widows and orphans. THE ARRESTS IN IRELAND.—Messrs. Killen, Davitt, and Daly, the three men arrested on a charge of using seditious language at the Gurteen meeting, were brought up at Sligo on Monday. Mr. Rea appeared for Killen, Mr. Louden for Daly, and Davitt conducted his own defence. Mr. Parnell was present. Mr. Louden ap- plied for a copy of the shorthand writer's notes on which the charge was founded, and this was acceded to. It was announced that the case of Daly be first taken. Mr. Modroe, in opening the case for the Crown, said that the law, if strictly carried out, would undoubtedly restrict freedom of speech. Some discretion was neces- sary, and often it would be better to leave agita- tion alone; but there were times when, in face of such an agitation, inactivity became a crime. Mr. Monroe then described the character of the Gurteen meeting, alluding to the alleged use of inflammatory language, the presence of men armed with imitation j pikes, carrying banners with disloyal mottoes. Among the speakers at this meeting was Mr. Daly, a gentleman of large influence in the west, and who was probably the leading agitator in that part of the country. Mr. Monroe, in concluding, said his witness's were a police inspector, a professional shorthand writer, and a detective. Evidence was then taken. Daly was com- mitted for trial, bail being accepted. The other prisoners were remanded. When the proceedings were resumed on Tuesday at Sligo, the case of Michael Davitt was taken. This prisoner, who defended him- self, made an address to the Bench after the opening speech of Mr. Monroe, Q.C., and then, allowing the depositions taken on the previous day to be read as evidence against him, he proceeded to cross-examine each witness who was recalled for that purpose. In his defence Davitt contended that not even a prima-facie case had been made out, and said that all he had done at Gurteen was to be more concerned for the existence of the people during the coming winter than for the legal rights of the landlords. The bench, however, committed the defendant for trial, and fixed the bail at he same amount as in Daly's case.

Hundreds of subtle maladies are floating around us ready to attack wherever there is a weak point. We may escape many a fatal shaft by keeping ourselves we11 fortified with pure blood and a properly nourished frame." EPPS'S COCOA.-AlZ the Year Round says ;— Having now disposed of fancy chocolates, let us stro11 to Ho11and-,treet. Blackfriars, to Epps's cocoa manufactory, where may be studied the making of cocoa on a stupendous scale, giving a just idea of the value of these articles, not as luxuries, but as actual food." EPPS'S COCOA.-Land and Water says :— Through the kindness of Messrs. Epps, I recently had an opportunity of seeing the many complicated and varied processes the cacao bean passes through erE it is old for public use, and being inten -tcd and highly pleased with what I saw during my visit to the mauufactory, I thought a brief account of the cacao and the way it i mauufadurd by Messrs. Epps to fit it for a wholesome and nutritious beveraee, might be of interest to the readers of Land, and Water. EPPS'S COCOA.-Collrt Journal says In a climate EO varying and trying as our own to main- tain sound and uniform health, our daily diet cannot be too carefully and attentively studied. Advancing science and recent discoveries have, within the last few years, been instrumental in adding several most valuable additions t. our comparatively short list of dietetic foods. Foremost amongst these should be ranged cocoa, which, althouzh known here several centuries previously, ony came into general use within the last forty year". One of the first to popu. larise this nuw indispensable adjunct to our table was Mr. James Epps. whose Prepared Cocoa" has gained such just repute for its excellent and nutritious character. Prepared orieinilly on homoeopathic principles, in a SOluble and convenient form, and easy I of digestion, it met a public demand, speedi'y beeame popular, until now. iHessrs. Epps produce some five millions oi pounds of their cocoa a year, and their manufactory is the largest of its kind in this country.' EPPS'S COCOA.—CasselVs Household Guide says We will now give an account of the process adopted by Messrs. James Epps and Co., manufac- turers of dietetic articles, at their works in Holland- street, Blackfriars, London." EPPS'S COCOA.-John Bull says In no J-' branches of industry are recent scientific and chemical discoveries more generally applied than in those upon which our food supply is so largely dependent. The luxuries of the last generation have in many cases become the daily necessaries of the present. A forci- ble illustration of this is to be found in the enormons increase in the consumption of cocoa year by year in exact proportion to the increased facilities for its manufacture. An idea of the vast extent of this industry may be gained from the fact that one firm alone-that of Messrs. Epps and Co.-now sell some five millions of pounds annually. The 'Homoeopathic Cocoa' of Messrs. Epps has, during the many years it has been before the public, gained great and just repste which its excellent quality and careful prepara- tion certainly entitle it to. A cocoa in soluble form, and combining what is technically known as 'flesh- forming and heat-giving properties, is clearly an invaluable addition to our scanty list of dletetic foods. Such Messrs. Epps claim for their prepared cocoa. and such analysis, and-most valuable of all-ex- perience has proved it to be." EPPS'S COCOA.—Christian World says :— If I am to take cocoa,' said I, I must know what it is made of; I must examine the process; I must dive into the myeterr of its manufacture; I must see and judge for myself what are the ingredients of which it is composedwith this view I made my way to the manufactory of James Epps and Co., in Holland-street, Blackfriars." T7PPS' COCOA.-Naval and Military Gazette J-' says The nutritive qualities of cocoa over either those of tea and coffee are now w generally acknow- ledged that the steady increase shewn by official statistics in its consumption during recent years, ceases to be a matter of surprise. One of the first firms to popularise this now indipensable adjunct to our breakfast tabl" was Messrs. Epps and Co., whose name, since 189, has been so continuously before the public, and whose Homoeopathic Cocoa is as familiar In our homes as the proverbial household words.' Those whose business it ba8 been to watch at Messrs. Epps's Works the elaborate and complex processes, and to note the car" and labour bestowed before the crude cocoa bean is considered ready for consumption, cannot but admit that the pvpuJarity Messrs. Epps's productions have secured is fully deserved. The vastness of these works may be imagined when it is stated that nearly five millions of pounds of prepared cocoa alone are prepared there yearly. The repuation gained, now many years since, for Mr. James Epps's preparation, both for its purity and its value as a dietetic, has been more than maintained. A con- stantly increasiHg demand fully iestüies to this- which must be as gratifying to Messrs. Epps, as it is certainly flattering to the good faith they have kept with the public to secure so gratifying a result. EPPS'S COCOA.-MornÙ dverti8er says :— ■ In the middle of the seventeenth century an announcement appeared in one of the few journals of that period, to the effect that out of Bishopsgate- street, at a Frenchman's house, is an excellent West India drink, called chocolate, to be sold at reasonable 1 his is the first record we han ot the introduc- tion of cocoa into England. For a time it tiourisàed as a fashionable drink, and then, 1ike all fashions, subsided. Nearly two centuries after, In 1*32, the duties, which had been prohibitive, were greatly re- duced, aud one of the first to take advantage of re- etabJbhing the popularity of cocoa was Messrs. Epps and Co., the Homoeopathic Chemists. Under the name of' Prepared Cocoa: they introduced a soluble and convenient preparation, wbich required no boil- iug, aud was pabtable and highly nutritious. It met a public want, speedily became popular, and year by year has increased in demand till the cousumption uow reaches five millions of pound, yearly." EPPS'S COCOA. Family Herald says; ■1 The best makers-such as Messrs. Epps-séll a pure preparation. EPPS'S COCOA. Church Review says :— Although we cannot yet boast of a free breakfast table, still the active legIslation in furtherance of that object dunng the last half-century leaves us much to be thankful for. A striking instance of the general good resulting from the removal of heavy imposts upon our food supply, is afforded by the marvellous increase in the consumption of cocoa since 1833, up to which period an almost prohibitive duty was levied. In 1830 the total amount consumed in this country was less than hall a million pounds yearly. At the present time one firm alone, that of Messrs. James Epps and Co, ttie Homoeopathic Chemists, sell annually nearly five million pounds." EPPS'S COCOA.-Civilian says ;—" In the ■4 lith century, before either tea or coffee had found their way into the English markets, chocolate was a favourite beverage with the luxurious classes at that period; it then fetched an almost fabulous price per pound. To-day, when modern science and enterprise have placed it within the reach of every clas, cocoa is not only stilI regarded as a palatable and refreshing drink, but is valued for its nutritive and dietetic qualities. One of the first, we believe, who may be credited with introducing cocoa in its present form is Mr. James Epps. Prepared on sound dietetic principles, Epps's Homcepataic CocoacontaiDs a11 the nutritive properties of the native product in such a form that they are rendered thoroughly soluble, and, therefore much more easy of digestion. The natural superabundance of fat present in raw cocoa is, more. over, not only counteracted but made to serve one of the most essential functions of sound 1iet. Messrs. Epps's works are now, perhaps, the largest in the country, the cocoa produced there amounting to many million pounds a year." EPPS'S COCOA.Mïning World says The J-' preparation of pure and nutritious artile8 of diet is, in point of philanthropy, noble work. The wear and tear upon brain and muscle in this age is growing more and more intense, so that without some com- pensating intiuence the end must be hopeless col- lapse in individuals and national decay collectively. Fresh air and more wholesome and nutritious diet must be had at any price. Both food and drink need great improvement. A few chemists have done gret public service m this repect. Mr. James Epps, m the preparation of cocoa in its various forms, has done more, perhaps, than any other person to supply the table of even the poorest with a most agreeable and wholesomll article of diet. The application of modern science at his extensive works bas brought cocoa, once the dear-bought luxury of the higher classes, within the reach of all; and there may now be found on the labourer's table. cocoa in better and more nutritious form than the Royal breakfast tables of early kiagø could boast. Cocoa; ail pnparpd .by Mr. pps is palatable, refreshing, strengthening, and lllestlm- ably preferable to the trashy tea and coffee in general use." TRANSV AAL. The following interesting -L letter, addressed to the firm of James Epps. and Co.. has just come to hand Gentlemen,—Five years and a hall ago I bought in Cape Town a case of your cocoa, and started with my family for this conn try. Durig Ave months' travelling we experienced corch- lng heat, biting cold, iioods of rains, and fnghful droughts; in fact, we passed through all possible atmopberic changes. Almost daily we used for breakfast your coeoa, and since our settlement here we did the same from time to time, until, a few days ago, we finished the last of the 420 packts contained in the case. I have now much pleasure III stating, to your satisfaction, that we not only found your cocoa most grateful and comforting for old and young. but also that tbe last packet was just as good and sound IIoS the first, after so many years' keeping, whilst the prodUOl80f other makers showed extreme decay after a few months only. In making this statement I 80lely have in view to render full justice to those who deserve it, now that so many adulterations of food are sent out to the colonies by unprincipled firms. You are at full liberty to ma.keuseof tbe above state- ment, requesting ouly not to pllblitlh my name.- Esta Boschdal, near Rustenburg, Transvaal." 14*7 rabtSmdt' J i\h:JrtsSts. PHOTOGRAPHY.
