A BRAVE POLICEMAN.—At Liverpool, on Tuesday, W Pegler, No 10 of the river Police Constabulary, was presented with a silver medal and clasp, besides from the Liverpool Shipwreck and Humane Society, for having jumped into the Mersey and rescued a child Which had fallen overboard from her Majesty's ship Assistance, and also for having saved the life of a man who had fallen into the river. For the same service was also presented with a bronze medal by the Rovai Humane Society. The chairman of the Watch Committee said that this was the ten'h presentation of a similar kind to the Bamo constable for saving life. SPEAKING OF CHAPMAN'S ENTIRE WHEAT FLOUR, a writer in the Christian World says—" Many of the first physicians of the day are prescribing no other medicine for their little patients, and it is astonishing sometimes how ohildren whn have pined on a diet of fine white baker's bread, will. thrive when fed on well cooked porridge made of this Entire Wheat Flour." Sold by Chemists in 6d and Is packet?, and 3s tins. Prime sparkling Herefordshire perry and eider champagne, quarts 12s, pints 6s per dozen. Orders payable*—W. Simpson, Market Hall, Hereford.

HOLLOWAY'S PILLS.—Nothing preserves the health so well 's an occasional alterative in changes of weather, or when the nerves are unstruDg. These Pills act ad- mirably on the stomach, liver. and kidney. and so thoroughly purify the blood that they are the most efficient remedy in warding off derangements of the sUmach, fever, diarrheal, dysentery, and other maladies, and giving tone and energy to debilitated constitutions. All W'10 have the natural and audible desire of maintain- ing thnr own and their family's health, cannot do better th n trust to Holloway's Pills, which cool, regu'ato, and fitreng hen. These purifying Pills are suitable for all agec, seasons, climates, and ccnstimtions, when all other tail, ai.d are the female's best fiiend.

BELGIUM. THE ROYAL SILVER WEDDING.—Lord Torrington haa delivered to the Queen of the Belgians an autograph letter from Queen Victoria, together with the ladies' Order of the Star of India.

GERMANY. Dr Nobling will shortly be conveyed to an insane asylum, where he will be subject to the closest scrutiny, with a view of ascertaining his mental condition, as some physicians believe he is only stimu- lating madness. EARTHQUAKE.—Two shocks of earthquake were felt on Monday morning by the inhabitants of Cologne and several other German towns. In one town, it is stated, the houses perceptibly rose and fell with the movement of the earth, but no damage was done.

AUSTRIA. The Emperor of Austria will be present this autumn at military manoeuvres on a large scale which are to take place in Southern Tyrol. THE OCCUPATION QUESTION.—The mobilisation of Austrian troops, which may be considered as terminated for the present, has raised the army of General Philip- povich to a strength of between 125,000 and 130,000 men. All the troops mobilised during the present month consisted only of men on leave of absence belonging to the standing army, and not to the reserve. Notwith- standing the unpopularity of a convention with the Porte, Count Andrassy is urging its conclusion in order that the question pending between Austria and Hungary, relative to the position of Bosnia and Herzegovina towards the Austro-Hungarian monarchy, may be defined, that at the opening of the Austrian and Hungarian Parliaments those legislatures may be met with an accomplished fact which would render discussion without object.—The Turkish Council of Ministers has been engaged in examining the Austrian counter-project of a convention. The Porte has forwarded a modified draft of a convention to Vienna, which it is hoped will result in an arrangement being concluded.

SWITZERLAND. A DISASTROUS FLOOD. — A letter, received in Plymouth, gives an account of a lamentable occurrence at Zell, in the Zillertsall, Switzerland. The water from the glacis at the head of the valley, swollen by rains, swept down with resistless force, carrying before it houses, mills, and even sweeping the fields bare of their crops and soil. Roads and bridges were destroyed, and even the churches far up the hill were inundated. After two days the waters subsided, but starvation threatened the population of that and adjacent villages. At Ceden Glacier, Ortler group, two tourists and two German guides perished.

CYPRUS. THE HEALTH OF THE TROOPS.—A telegram from Larnaca, received in London on Tuesday, says the health of the troops generally is much improved in camp. Since landing the force has lost eight men by death sunstroke 3, fever 3, cancer 1, dysentery 1. Heat still great.—The Daily Petes' special Cyprus correspondent's telegram maintain the accuracy of the statements he recently made respecting the illness among the troops.— A Central News correspondent says the prevailing disease is an intermittent fever, which somewhat resem- bles ague. Though often severe, it is seldom fatal. Quinine is its remedy. The statement made in Parlia- ment that the mortality of the island is but three-fifths of that of Europe, or even Italy, is fully borne out. I never saw so many healthy, vigorous old people, in pro- portion to the inhabitants, as I have seen in Cyprus. I see no conditions but those of a healthy climate.

TURKEY. REFORMS IN ASIA MINOR.—It is reported from Con- stantinople that reforms in Asia Minor recommended by England to the Porte have reference to the establish- ment of a gendarmerie, the taxes, the courts of justice, and the creation of a court of appeal. The Porte, how- ever, pleads the inadequacy of the means at its disposal, and in order to enable it to carry out the proposed reforms desires the aid of England to obtain a loan on the basis of the revenues of Cyprus. THE SURRENDER OF BATOUM to the Russian authorities has been postponed until the 12th of September. The governor of Trebizonde has gone to Batoum to calm the popular agitation at that place, and to make arrange- ments for the departure of those who wish to emigrate before the Russians occupy the place. THE SULTAN AND LADY LA YARD.—The Sultan has offered to jonfer on Lady Layard, the wife of the English Ambassador, the first distinction of a new order for ladies, called the Nichan Mowanenet, but Lord Salisbury has declined to authorise its acceptance. MORE BULGARIAN OUTRAGES.—The Pera correspon- dent of the Telegraph has just received a telegram from Adrianople, giving the following particulars of fresh outrages on the Moslems :—" On Sunday night last 300 mounted Bulgarian conscripts entered the village of Saritalashan, about six hours' journey from Adrianople, and sacked it, violating the women. The chief priest was forced to hold a lantern whilst the Bulgarians ravished his daughter, aged 13, the father being after- wards flogged to death. My informant states that he has seen the girl and several of the other victims, adding that but little hopes were entertained of the poor child's life. The same band recently pillaged and burned a number of Mussulman hamlets, carrying off the cattle. The wretched inhabitants had to fly to the mountains. People are loudly asking for what purpose was the International Commission appointed if a joint action of the Powers is not taken so ensure protection for the lives, honour, and property of the unfortunate Turkish population."

SERVIA. RESIGNATION OF THE CABINET.—The entire Cabinet has tendered its resignation, which has been accepted by Prince Milan, and his Highness has entrusted M. Ristics with the formation of a new Ministry.

ROUMANIA. THE RETROCESSION OF BESSARABIA. — As the Roumanian Government gave no sign of its intention to carry out the decision of the Berlin congress as to the cession of Bessarabia, Prince Gortschakoff has sent a note premptorily demanding its immediate and formal surrender. Prince John of Ghika, known in Roumania as the political adversary of Russia, has consented to become governor of the Dobrudscha.

EGYPT. EGYPTIAN FINANCES.—A political revolution has been effected in Egypt as the result of the efforts of the com- mittee of inquiry. The conclusions arrived at by the committee have been accepted by the Khedive, who has expressed himself as desirous of acting for the good of his country. The surrender by his Highness and the principal members of his family of their vast landed property to the public treasury is, remarks the Times, deserving of especial notice. The same journal remarks that it is hardly conceivable that the solemn promises made should be broken, or that any obstacle should be placed in the way of the overthrow of a system which during the past fifteen years has dragged Egypt deeper and deeper into debt and political danger.

UNITED STATES. QUADRUPLE EXECUTION.—The New York papers of August 16th describe the execution of four men for murdering a shopkeeper by attacking him while he was serving them. The evidence was distinct, but on the scaffold each of the four addressed the crowd, vehemently and solemnly protesting their entire innocence, pathe- tically bidding farewell, and declaring that they were prepared for death. YELLOW FEVER continues its ravages in the United States. At New Orleans 295 deaths occurred last week. At Vicksburg since the outbreak of the dreaded plague the deaths have numbered 69 and are increasing, and at Memphis there were 53 deaths in six days. The disease has also made its appearance at Cincinnati and Louis- ville, and also at Havanna. At Grenada the remaining inhabitants are all either sick or dying. THE SPECIE QUESTION.—The United States finance minister, Mr Sherman, in a speech at Ohio, on Monday, reminded his audience that the time for the execution of the resumption act was rapidly approaching, and said he believed that the resumption of specie payment would easily be maintained. Gold, silver, and green- backs were now almost at par.

THE PERMISSIVE BILL.—The "Grand Worthy Chief Templar of the Grand Lodge of England of the Inde- pendent Order of Good Templars" has issued a mani- festo in which he declares that the hour has come" for the order to fulfil its mission; and he gives a trumpet blast to shake up and awake the dry bones." He states that the Grand Lodge has "unanimously affirmed the necessity of our supporting the Permissive Billand he is of opinion that the members of his order can so influence elections as to make possible the obtaining of the Permissive Bill from the very next Parliament. THE FOx. AND THE GRAPES.—The following strange circumstance has recently come to our knowledge, says the Sporting Gazette, which, perhaps, will in some measure account for blank days and the unlooked for disappearance of foxes. We often wonder where they can be, after drawing blank acres of woodland which ought to hold them, but it is seldom the solution is found in such a wholesale manntff as this :—It appears that Mr Harris has bought the Steventon Manor at Ash, and is there making extensive alterations, amongst them building a new mansion. In the course of the work there was necessity to clean out a dead well adjoining some magnificent ruins of very ancient date, and in so doing the workmen came on the skulls and bones of about 100 foxes, which, no doubt, had been knocked on the head by the keeper and there deposited, as the least likely place for them to ever again to come to light; for not being gifted with prophetic vision, :L is iitLk likely he would ever expect such a place to be disturbed. Mr Morris had the bones removed to his borders, and so fertilising an agent did they prove that last week he carried off all the prizes for grapes at the Basingstoke show and those who have seen the produce of his vines declare it to be truly magnificent. This is a fresh ren- dering of the old fable of "The Fox and the Grapes," with a vengeance and one that we sincerely trust will not come into fashion. It is to be hoped that this slaughter extended over a number of years, or it would have well nigh stripped the district of foxes, and indeed, we think it must have been so extended, as we never remember to have heard of any scarcity there, and men now hunting in the neighbourhood tell us there is no lack of them in the district.

ST. MARY'S CHURCH, DENBIGH. TO THE EDITOR OF THE GUARDIAN. SIR,-The Guardian for the 17th and 24th of August contain letters concerning the collection at the above church, and I hope you will also kindly allow these few lines on the same subject to appear. The first letter I find nothing against, but the second one, signed "Another Parishioner," contains some remarks which are not, to say the least, any credit to the writer, nor true about the Welsh congregation. He says, "Somehow or other the Welsh congregations in this parish seem to have been educated as regards Christian liberality in the following fashion :—"Now, all We require from you is that you will attend the Welsh services. We will place the best church in the parish at your dispo3al, we will light and warm it in winter free of expense to you. Come and receive all the good you can, for you shall receive it without money and without price. We ask you for nothing in return, for we compel the congregations at the English services to find all the funds, and thus let you off without expense." I deny that the Welsh congregations are so selfish as the writer of the letter states, and can prove that they have at all times, according to their ability, subscribed cheerfully towards the maintenance of the good cause, and can do it again. I am almost certain that he who styles himself "Another Parishioner" is not one bred and born in the parish, or else he could not have written as he has done, unless he has an ill- feeling towards the Welsh congregation. I am proud to say that I am a member of the Welsh Church, and feel the remarks of this writer very keenly. Allowing, as a point of argument, that the Welsh congregation never contributed a penny toward the expenses, and that the English have always borne the load, does it show any brotherly love by boasting their liberality, as "Another Parishioner" does. Let him look to his Bible, and see for himself whether that is what God teaches us. God will not bless any alms or offerings unless given with the whole heart, and the offerings of "Another Parishioner," if given in the same spirit as the tone of his letter, are not acceptable, and better would it become him to keep his pennies than to grudge after giving them. It is high time, I think, that such grudging as this should be put by, as it will only make a breach between two congregations, who, although worshipping in different tongues, are endeavouring to attain the glorious rest which is in the reach of all true Christians. I hope and trust that we shall never again be snubbed by this Another Parishioner if he does write again I hope he will be actuated by better feelings, and show that he is in favour of FAIRPLAY.

IRON. BARROW-IN-FURNESS, Monday.—A steady business, representing large sales and more extensive deliveries than was the case a few weeks back, is being done in bessemer qualities of hematite pig iron, but a slow sale of for;:e qualities must be noticed. There are indications that for a month or two the iron and steel works in the district will be fairly employed, but some doubts exist as to whether the trade during the winter season will be of a satisfactory character, Buyers are offering orders at lower prices than sales have beelt made at recently, but makers are firm, and prefer to keep up stocks rather than sell at lower values. No 1 bessemer is quoted at 59s per ton at makers' works; No 2. 57s 6d.; No 3, 563 6d No 3 forge, 56s; Nos 4 and Õ forge, 54s6d, and white and mottled samples, 53s. Iron ship- builders and finished ironworkers are sti l depressed. Iron ore steady. Irish samples is a large delivery. Coal is quiet. MIDDLESBOROUGH, Tuesday. The attendance on 'Change was thin to-day, and business was slack. Makers' prices were upheld, the standard being 39s 6d, less 1 per cent, for No. 3 for immediate delivery, and 40s to the end of the year. Ferge iron continues scarce, and 8Ss 6d less commission is easily got. The stocks decline, and shipments ure main- tained. The quantity of iron going into Connal's stores has commenced to increase, and to-day amounts to 05,300 tons. Rather more business is doing in the finished iron trade, and prices of ship plates have become stiffer, JCG 5J being easily obtained for early delivery; for forward delivery as inuoh as £6 7s 6d is got. The chairfounders arc not doing so well neither are ironfounders generally. WOLVERHAMPTON, Wednesday.—The iron market this afternoon developed but little business. Less time is being run at the works than last week, i<&d the iuquui^s do not manifest any increase in the necessities of cousumers. There is no alteration in the nominal quotation*, yet the prices which determine actual transactions show a gradual weaken- ing, nevertheless certain high-class sheets and a few bars of exceptional quality are stronger, makers refusing p-ices which they last week accepted. No one will sell forward either pig or finished iron. The disposition to buy forward is less conspicuous. Coal improves in demand.

AGRICULTURE. rhe Mark-lane Express says—" Much delay has been caused in harvest operations owing to the weather, and i." some localities wheat has commenced to sprout. In the earlier districts of the home counties the land has been pretty well cleared of cereals, but in the north a large proportion of barley is uncut. Whatever opinion m y be held as to barley, there can be no doubt that the wheat crop is better than the very deficient ones of recent years, and, as a somewhat in- creased average was planted, 11J millions is ihe approximate estimate of Mr Caird. In the (,uth of England lh3 barley crop appears to a great extent a failure, and in the midlmds prospects have changed decidedly for the worse, colour, quality, and condition having deteriorated. Scotch agricul- tural advices, however, are more favourable, both ai regards wheat and barley. i he root crops continue to thrive, t irnips especially promising a heavy crop. The weather has almost suspended thrashing. Farmers have marketed very little wheat, either new or old, iu Mark-lane. Unless a *pe->dy change takes place in the weather, we may expect an ini- Iroved dentmd. fdtr forttga nrhita Thaat.J
