fPtettilantfu*. Seven elopements were recorded at Louisville, Ky., duridg one week recently. Two worueu hive been committed for trial at Notting- ham for garrotting an old man. Mario is going to sing English at the English Opera, Covrnt Garden A cat exhibition has been mooted and is seriously en- tertained. Vessels are detained at Greenock, unable to obtain ^jamcn.  In consequence of the drought, the river Wye is in places nearly dry. During livst week, 33 wrecks were reported, making a total of 1077 for the present year. On dit that Mrs. Forbes Yelverton (Major Yelverton's second wife) is about to commence an action for i judi- cal separation. A youth has been killed in London, by the acci- dental discharge of an old gnu, with which h* was playing. Portions of four skeletons of the extinct Irish elk have within the last few days been exhumed in the immediate neighbourhood of Baubridge. A young man named Thompson, a fisherman, was ac- cidentally shot by his father, at Silverdale, near Lan- oaeter, last week. There have been serious disturbances in Jersey in eonseq ience of a Mr. Oweus, from London, baying delivered lectures, in which he assailed tho Roman Ca- tholics. On the evening of August 8, a collision occurred be- tween the 5 o'clock train from Washington and a train from Baltimore, by which 30 persons are reported killed and wounded. A notorious brigand, known by the name of Formet- ta, w,is recently shot in Italy by a band of soldiers sent to capture him. His wife consoled herself with the belief that her husband had gone to heaven to receive a martyr's reward. During the rejoicings at the French Imperial fete last week, one of the principal fireworks ignited at a moment when le;ist expected, and taking a lateral direction, it killed one woman and very seriously injured three other persons. The estimated deliveries of tea in London during the woek which ended on August 22nd were 882,808 lbs., which it a decrease of 167,409 lbs. compared with the ttateinent for the previous week. The Phare de la Loire confidently announces that the Count d'Ku, eldest son of the Duke de Nemours, will shortly proceed to Brazil to marry the daughter of the Emperor Don Pedro. As his Majesty has no male heir his son-in-law will one day be called upon to wear the imperial crown. The Count of Flanders had also been spoken of as the bridegroom of the princess. A correspondent of the ime, who has visited the grave of Wordsworth, in the churchyard at Grasmere, oomplains that the resting place of the poet and his re- latives i., from the absence of a protecting rail, conti- nually being desecr ated by tourists, who, in their eager- DOSS to read the inscription, have trodden down and entirely destroyed the grassy mounds over the graves. 011 Monday evening, Mr. Horace Clark, residing in Prince's-road, Kensington, gave a party on the occasion of the marriage of his daughter, and about eight o'clock, Mrs. Clark was waltzing with a male relative, when she was observed to laugh in a hysterical manner, and make for an ante room, the entrance to which she had just gained, when she fell lifeless into the arms of her sister. Her death is attributed to disease of the heart. A London park-keeper has given a lesson to the Home Secretary in getting good out of evil, or turning the culprit's labour to account. It appears that much amusement is caused in Kensington by the fact of the keeper, when he catches any one in the act of petty theft, offering him the choice of drawing the garden roller or to be taken into custody. The culprit always chooses the roller, and, as he is frightfully jeered at by small boys, n ver commits a second offence. A rnoxooBAPHic uuiuosiTV.—A Jtew Yort pnoto- grapher has published a portrait of President Lincoln which is likely to prove acceptable to all parties. At firt glance it appears to be a photograph of Old Abe," taken when he had the smallpox a few months ago; but on closer inspection the seeming pustules are found to be minute photographic likenesses of distinguished generals, statesmen, politicians, literary men, actors, actresses, &e. The likenesses, which are scattered all over the physiognomy of Old Abe, number 400 and up- wards, and compsise men of all parties aud professions, and are so exceedingly weU executed as to be at once re- cognised, Though there are many good-looking men and women among the likenesses, yet taken altogether they constitute as ugly a picture of Old Abe as any of the others that have been published. THE BISHOP Of OXFORD ON INSPIRATION.-The fol- lowing letter has been addressed by the Bishop of Oxford to a clergyman of his lordship's diocese, in reference to the late clerical conference at Oxford Anguai 17th, 1864. Many thanks for your very kind letter. I had not seen either of the newspaper extracts you sent me, but if I had I should not have answered them. It is a hope- less endeavour to set oneself right by answering any- thing and if you reply to one you must to all. I, therefore, leave matters to right themselves. It is quite a different matter leplying to you, and I do it with the greatest pleasure. I said nothing of the sort attributed to me in these extracts. Perhaps the subject was too abstruse to be treated so briefly, and has led to misap- prehension. In brief, my belief is this :—The whole Bible came to us "the Word of God," under the sanction of God the Holy Ghost. We cannot pick and choose amidst its contents. All is God's word to us. But as I believe that this, which I hold as the only orthodox view, is encompassed with many difficulties by what is called the theory of "verbal inspiration," I desired to show huw, in my judgment, a careful scrutiny of the Bible which revealed the "divers manners" in which the Holy Ghost speaks—1. Sometimes by the mere mechan- ical use of the human agent who conveyed the message as (1) God wrote words on the first tables, or (2) dictated them for the second, or (3) committed them to prophets eimplv to repeat, or (4) spoke through the prophets. 2. Sometimes, by possessing the human instrument with a complete knowledge of that he has 11 speak, and leaving him to express it under the mere suggestions and guardianship of His own special presence according to the natural use of human faculties I desired, I say, to show how this would greatly lessen these difficulties, and enable men to realise the essential difference be- tween the Iloly Scriptures, and any otter book, namely, that as all truth comes from God, other books may be in a sense said to be inspired because they are true, but Holy Scripture alone can be affirmed to be true because it is inspired. You are quite free to make any use of this you see fit. I am ever, yours most truly, S. OXON. STORY OF A MODERN Oiiaoy.—Much excitement has prevailed in Swaledale, Arkendale, the borders of West- moreland, as well as Barnard Castle and Richmond, by the proceedings of a man who lived in the woods and on the moors. He was of middle height, and though of Slender build, he possessed considerable muscular power, AS was evinced by his surprising activity. His clothes consisted of a fragment of an old dressing gown, reach- ing from his waist to his knees, fastened round him with a cord, and a few rags clinging to his shoulders. His feet tii(I legs were covered with dry black mud. His hair and beard were long and matted, saving which there was nothing ferocious in his aspect, his features being naturally mild, and not unprepossessing. Occa- sionally he had approached farmhouses; and, at Scargill and other places, kind-hearted people had given him food, which he had eaten with avidity, but he had re- fused to accept the clothes offered him. He ran with wonderful speed, soniestioies leaping into the air, and glancing behind him at nearly every step. He seemed to have no fixed route, but diverged on each on each side of the way as he rapidly traversed the ground. It is thought that he must in some degree have subsisted upon such game or vermin as he could catch; and he has been observed eating the garbage lying in the vicini- ty of farmhouses. He was perfectly inoffensive; but his singular appearance, and his mode of running and screaming, had terrified many women and children.. It is related also that a man living at a farm near Barnard Castle had risen early to go to the coalpits, but had been so frightened by the sudden appearance of the "wild loan" that he hastily unyoked the horses, hurried back to the house, and barricaded the doors and windows. There is no doubt that the "wild man" is a harmless lunatic who has escaped from confinement. The pohce have be on the look-otit for several weeks, but had failed to capture him until the present week, when the pohce stationed at Greta Bridge succeeded, after an exciting chase, in securing him. He stands remanded for 14 day* to Northallerton gaol, in order that inquiries might be ma& concerning hun.— y??Afe &M<<«.

This well known and tal- ented lecturer delivered a lecture for the benefit of the Carnarvonshire Infirmary," in the Penrhyn Hall, on Monday evening last* upon "YrEgbvys Gristnogol."

LOWER BANGOR NEW CHuncu.-A meeting of the m??ential of the inhabitants of this town was held in the National Schoolroom, on Tuesday last, to take into consideration what means should be adopted for providing the new church in Lower Bangor with a peal of bells.

We congratulate the good people of Bangor upon the prospect of soon possessing a merry peal of bells. THE LATE CAPTATN THE HON. A. J.

BETHESDA. ELECTION FOR LOCAL BOARD OF HKAJ.TH.—An elec- tion has taken place this week, to fill up four vacancies in the Local Board of Health. No less than seventeen persons were nominated, of whom one (Mr. Francis, of Brynderwen) declined to act; and great public interest centered in the proceedings.

A contemporary relates a wonderful anecdote about a hen that flew at a cow in defence of her chickens, and killed the cow with one blow of her bill. This statement is not quite correct. To make the story per- fectly genuine, the hen should be a cock and the cow a bull.-Punck. LIVERPOOL BANKRUPTCY COURT.—Before Mr. Com- missioner Perry.—Thursday, August 25.-111 rc ]Vit- Ham Lloyd. This bankrupt, who was formerly the landlord of the Railway Hotel, at Llanfair, in the county of Anglesey, appeared on his adjourned last examination and discharge, Nir. Blaekhurst opposed, Mr. Evans, who represented the assignees, supported the bankrupt, and Mr. John Pemberton appeared for the bankrupt's son. Mr. Blaekhurst subjected the bankrupt to a short examination upon the accounts and afterwards asked that the ease should be further adjourned, for the pur- pose of adducing evidence and having further accounts, in order to test the fulness of the bankrupt's disclosure. Mr. Evans objected to a further adjournment, as any aecouuts the bankrupt might furnish could only be founded upon estimate, which would he no satisfactory basis for testing the bankrupt's disclosure. His Honour expressed strong disapprobation of the bankrupt's con- duct in omitting to keep a proper account of his receipts and expenditure, and reiterated his regret that the pre- sent act of Parliament did not provide Some punish- ment for such neglect; but said as his authority was so limited he had no alternative but to allow the bankrupt to pass his examination. Upon the question of dis- charge no objection within the statute was established, and the bankrupt was allowed the usual order of dis- charge. GOLD MINING IN WALES.—The various gold mining companies which were recently formed are now fairly at work, and the shareholders are able by this time to form some idea of the nature of their speculations. At Carn Dochan 8 tons 5 cwts. of ore have yielded 49 oz. 7 dwt. 12 gr. of gold, but this is not sufficient to make the mine a good paying property. At Cwmheisan a little more gold has been found in the blende, and the Welsh Company's property gold has been traced in the alluvial. The returns have been of late somewhat small and irre- gular at Clogau, the only mine that has yet turned out really successful, the cause of the falling off being, it is believed, the scarcity of water in the river, and the pre- parations for more extensive operations. I he quartz in the Vigra mine is beginning to yield gold in paying quantities, and this will augment the Clogau returns, the two mines being the property of the same company. Operations are still carried on at the Cambrian and other mines, as far as present appearances go, the shareholders have little hope of obtaining anything like a reasonable return on their money. This shows the necessity of caution in these matters, for at best gold mining is a speculation of which no one can foretell the result, and when interested promoters are connected with a com- pany it often turns out that the shareholders' money has been expended in purchasing useleBB property.— fima.

HINDRANCE TO THE WORK OF fl CHRISTIANITY. We look upon the whole Pew System, not only as one of the greatest hindrances to the successful working of Christianity, but one of the great- est cursos that has fulleu on the Church in modern times. Nothing but the iron rule of prevalent custom, and the prejudice of English tradition, could hide from the eves of men the injustice of the plan.—The North Ameri- can Church Review. The day is not entirely out of sight when Free Churches will be the rule rather than the exception. Some trouble and vexation should he cheerfully encountered for a result so bles.ed-a sight so majestic as our Churches might then presnt-free, har- monious, united worship ranks mingling simply and without offence in the House of Him before whom all are equal, the masses flocking to a teaching from which they have been so long shut out, and the Church becoming in reality what she is now in the wishes of her faithful children, emphatically the Church of the Poor.-The Guardian.
