Xanitari/ Committee.—This committee met thig morn- ing, the principal business being the re-appointment of Mr W. T. Joues, Hi tnelu i! officsr at the same salary ail before.

He also complained that this action should 30, soon have been taku 07 th plaintiff, as the order was t ) take eflect in a munth, and that time had not elapsed.—Mr Dow, however, pointed out tfcat though the judge tibt nuke an order as desired by bim they could wait the expiration of the mnlllb belore jetting the money.-His Honour acceded to Mr Dew's application, but expressed surprise that the Lord Chief lViron should 1I1ge altered the order of the jury. .t Lc'.hn Rtif (/1 U",¡/{ec1.[.-Daviù Joues, slate er and plasterer, Bethesd.t, c Mr G.

Tug BISHOPRICS BILL.—In expressing its regret at the withdrawal of the Bishoprics Bill, the National Church fily9: "if Churchmen during the recess in thoee flistrict. where the Dew bishoprics are so urgently needed will provide the needful funds, we have no doubt that the Home Secretary will very early next Session introduce a similar measure int ) both Houses, and forthwith pass it into law. We would especially recommend this course to the Chnrchmen of Derbyshire and Nottinghamshire, where the lamented retirement of the Bishop Suffragan, owing to ill health, makes the early foundation of the Southwell bishopric an imperative necessity. The diocese of Lincoln is not only ths largest in England in acreage, but its clergy nutiibar over 1,000. The universal este,'1lI wih which Bishop Wordsworth is regarded by all elapses of Churchmen is an additional motive for relieving him from the burden of working such a riocese single-handed at the earliest possible moment." l'une TEA IN RARF.

For particulars of agency apply as above. NOVELTY, AS A RULE, IS A DELUSION.—The truth of the above sentence was never more clearly proved than in case of Public Medicine, during the 38 years Jones' Tremadoc Pills have been before and benefiting the Public. Hundreds of novelties in that time appeared, and most of them disappeared. The old medicine still remains in name and quality, and go forth to benefit suffering humanity, so ifanyoneis troubled with INDIOKS TION, and its long train of diseases, nse JONES' TBEMADOO PILLS.

This trus- can, however, lie put on as easily as a vest, and in wear will strictly preserve the true symmetry of an anatomi cal adjustment. It does not chafe the skin, and is at soft in texturt as to admit of its being worn by nirht 80 well as by day. To the thousands who unfortunately stand if need of such .itificial aid, we need scarcely say that this truss will prove an inestimable blessing. IF THERE A TIE ANY LATIIBS Who have not yet used the OLISRIELD STARCH, they are respectfully solicited to give it a trial, aud carefully follow out the directions printed on every package, and if --his is done, thev will say like tbe Queen's Laundress, it is the finest Starch they ever used. When you ask for GLEMFISXD STARCH, see that you get it, as inferior kinds are often substi- tuted for ths sake of extra profit. Beware therefore of spurious imitations.

Wheu witness got outside the house a scuffle took p'ace through his prisonsr trying to get away from him and becoming very violent. During the scuffle both fell on the ground, and whilst down witness received a kick from some one in the crowd. Shortly afterwards Ser- geant Hugbes came to his assistance, and they managed to take the prisoner into custody.—Cross-examined I had no unifoim on, but was dressed in plaiu clothes. I saw defendant first in the passage. I heard Mr R, Owen asking defendant whether he knew whit he was d"ing. We were then in the passage, and defendant let me go when he was told I was a constable.

Gouldiug said lis had been in the employ of the Liverpool Steam-tug Company for twenty- one years.
