Foreign and Colonial. FRANCE. Political praties in France are already pre- paring for the senatorial elections, which are to take place it^ a couple of months. The Repnh- licans have formed two committees—one ill the Senate and the other in the Chamber—who are to organise local committees in the provinces. The Conservatives have also formed a Com- mittee. GERMANY. The Berlin newspapers, taking into considera- ti. on the probable lesult of the .second ballots, and making the necessary allowance for the un- certainty respecting the group which the newlv- elected candidates may juin, estimate that the new (ierman Parliament v.'ill number 113 Con- servatives, 155 Liberals, and about 100 Ultra- montane members. Dr, Nobiling, the man who has gained so unenviable a notoriety from his attempt on the life of the Emperor of Germany, h? nutde a second attempt to put an end to hi eM?.iice. ImmediaMy after firing It the Em- peror lie .hot himself in the head, but under medical tieatmeilt he has nearly recovered from his injuries. On Saturday he again made an at- tempt 011 his life by cutting (lpen an artery with a pair of scissors. He was discovered in time to prevent a fatal result, and was immediately fettered to prevent a recurrence of his act. THE CAPE. 1 urther a.lvie.-s from the Cape explain the cause of the defeat of the British forces in the Iran-ward. Captain Clarke, with a number of volunteers and Zulm:, captured several kraals 011 the Maquet hills, and the inhabitants were unveil in the mountain caves, from whence they kept up such a harassing irre, that Captain v,nf t^ve volunteers and one Zulu tatted and seven volunteers and two Zulus w-ounded, was obliged to retreat. Unless he is 011]]<: quickly to recover his position, this stop way iiftve :t disastrous effect in adding- to the number of the insurgent WEST AFRICA. Si inje incidents of savage life are reported in the news brought by the mail steamer which arrived in the Mersey on Saturday from the \Yeot Coast "f Africa. The British consul at Old ( al1 abar was about to hold a court of inquiry | into the custom amongst the natives of that! district ot murdering twin children, with a view 10 suppressing It. The sacrifice is founded on the superstition that it is unlucky h nllow twins to live. The wife ofaBomiv chief had died,! and the bereaved husband hadoffered a hundred j puncheons of gunpowder to any one who would bring her to lite again. Fearful atrocities had. been committed for months past in the Gaboon by siaves. who had killed and mutilated a num- ber ot natives. The murderers are known as "man tigers, bt.cause they dress themselves ill tigers skins and their victims in a wav to lead to the conclusion that they have been killed iy tigers. After eluding capture for a long time, sonieof these murderers have been arrested. I wo Of tnem had been tried and shot, and I a similar .ate, no doubt, awaited the other pri- i THE EASTERN QUESTION. The ratifications of the Treaty of Berlin were '"r;?a!h-exchanged at Prince Bimark' private ?Il?e on Saturday, by the representatives^ "'t I tll.? 1,iwer, c??ll I except of Turkey. Th" iil, ur, k. is, li nndjassador stated that the treaty had been ratified that day by the Sultan, and that the yaliclity of the document was fuHvaeknow- ledged by the Porte. Ratiifcations of the treaty will be exchanged with the Turkish representa- tive as scion as the documents reach from ( on-tantmop^e. It is announced from Berlin that commissions will now he appointed at once to determine such points of detail in the settle- iiietit of the Eastern Question as have been left open in the Treaty of Berlin. An international commission will first he convoked to assign the limits to which the powers of the c unmisMon for Eastern Roumelia and Bulgaria are to extend. The ambassadors of England and Russia, at Con- stantinople will confer upon the same subject with respect to the commission which is to regulate details in Asia Minor, and jointly agree upon the extent of its powers. It is announced from the Roumanian capital that the Russian troops are returning home at the rate of ,OOO daily. Renter's Constantinople correspondent says that Safvet Pasha, the Grand Vizier, Osman | Pasha, and the Skoik-ul-Islam advise the Sultan to enter into conciliatory negotiations with the Austrian Government, notwithstanding that the occupation of Bosnia and Herzegovina is an accomplished fact. A reconnoitring squadron of hussars of the Austrian army of occupation has been severely handled by Bosnian insurgents In passing a defile in their retreat 70 of the hU.'sar were shot. 'Hie advance of the Austrian troops in Herzegovina was also opposed on Sunday by insurgents, who, however, were cnm- pelled to fall back. It was expected that the entry of the Austrian troops in Mostar, the ca pital of Herzegovina, woulll be opposed, as the city, according to most recent accounts, was at the mercy of insurgents. But a telegr am from i Iosbr of [Monday s date states that the troops had entered the town that afternoon without opposition, being, on the contrary, received in a very friendly manner by the inhabitants. It is announced from Yieuna that, in consequence of the rising in Bosnia and the Herzegovina, pressure Is beiiifj brought to bear upon the Porte with the view of arriving at a clear understand- ing as to the position taken up by the Turkish Government in regard to the Austrian occupa- tion. The Russian military authorities have called upon the Rhodope insurgents to evacuate within ten days the territory they occupy in Eastern 1 Roumelia, warning them that if they do not | obey the order they will be attacked by Russian troops. The in Cyprus states that owing to the exorbitant demands at Nicosia for rent, Sir Garnet Wolseley and his staff are going to live under canvas a short distance from the town. Fever is on the increase, and the correspondent says that Nicosia is unquestionably extremely unhealthy.

The deceased was the second son of Lieut-Colonel John Dunlop, late paymaster of the 47th Kegiment, and was appointed ensign in January, 18(54 Lieutenant, June, 1868; and captain, January, 187(5. He nad been employed in the Public Works Depart- ment for the litit six years, and was an officer of great promise. Captain Dunlop was brother of Captain W. W. Dunlop, of the (54th Regiment, and of the late Lieutenant Tristram < Dunlop, who died adjutant of the UGth Regiment in November, 1873. HIFLE MATCH.—On Saturday, the annual i-ifle competition took place between a squad of eight men belonging to the 2nd D.R.V. Corps (Rua- 1 bon) and the same number of men of the !)th D.R.V.

The parade state was as follows g it =2 | Su On parade 4.7 3 10(1 ] 14 Absent with leilye. 1 1(5 17 WIL]Iollt l'nrol!e<l tre!lth. 5 7-5 111; J- UineiTs, captain misnn, .Lieut, unison ami Lieut. Molineux acting chaplain. Rev. J. M. Evans, B.A.; acting surgeon, William O'Kelly. Of the If; i-iiiik an(I file, some were working at engines, &c., which could not he left, some were sick and had sent in medical certificates two were at Liverpool working, and one was at Chester Infirmary, and we regret to hear that the corps is likely to lose the services of Lieut. Molineux, owing to his leaving the neighbour- n hood. On the field were—Lieut.-(. olonel Kigby, 1st L.E.Y., Captain and Adjutant Bloomtield, 1st L.E.V. (who acted as adjutant to this corps for the purposes of instruction), Mr John Brook- field, Sergeants Leggatt and l'iercv, of the (ii h F.E.V., &c. The corps was told oif as two com- panies, No. 1 being in command of Capta,in Wilson; right guide, Lieut. Molineux left guide, Sergt. Piercy; right marker, Corporal Piercy left marker, Corporal Connah. No. 2 was under the command of Lieut. Gibson, whose right- guide was Sergeant John Hughes left guide, Sergeant Humphreys right marker, Sergeant Samuel Jones left marker, Corporal Davison. The two companies formed up in line, received the inspecting officer (Major V. G. Clay- ton, Royal Engineers) at the present, after which arms were shouldered and the ranks thoroughly inspected. During this part of the business the band corps, under the instruction of Band-master Stephenson and Sergt. Griffiths, performed a selection of music which, we understand, they had got up for competition at Menai Bridge Eisteddfod on Friday yesterday. The ranks were then closed, and the line was put through the manual and firing exercise by Captain Wilson. This was fairly done, but some of the men evi- dently want more clearly to understand the (liffe renee between support and port arms, and some of those in the rear rank want more clearly to understand that they are not on the word j charge swords" to come down upon their com- j rades in the front rank. The line was then broken into column to the right, and marched past as two separate companies. The battalion i was then countermarched past at the trail, and wheeled into line. Each commander then took his own company for company drill, which was very fairly done, and after which the men marched to head-quarters. In the drill yard j were gabions, full-sized walls made defensible by loopholing w itli timber, sand bags, &e. The stakes for these were made by using the axles and wheels of the pit wagons. For the engineer- ing prizes there were only five competitors. On Major Clayton examining the models he awarded the prizes as follows :-I.,it, value about £3 to Sergeant Humphreys, for the single lock bridge 2nd, value 30s, to Sergeant Miles, for a wall defended 3rd, value 15s, to Sergeant Major Astle, for the parapet with interior lope revetted, Bugler Rowland's models were disqualified be- cause they were not ipaite true to scale. They were made of Buckley fire clay, and shrunk in the burning, which he had not allowed for, but lie only having joined the corps this year several gentlemen, to mark their appreciation of his conduct, subscribed 12s Gd to purchase a prize. for him, with a view to encourage him to try I again. Buglers' prizes for the two who sound calls best from memory were offered, and were adjudged by the adjutant as follows :—lst, Bugler Wright. Neither of the other two were considered worthy of a prize. In conclusion, this was certainly the best inspection the corps has undergone, and no doubt the inspecting officer will report accordingly. Though the corps; is so strong compared with what it was a few years ago we see no reason win under the present: satisfactory management there should not be at least a four company battalion, as we noticed large numbers of smart stalwart young men looking on who should be either volunteers or militiamen. We should not forget to add that there is an excellent recreation and reading-room at the head-quarters, open free to members of ■ the corps, and to others at sixpence a month, and we are informed that if funds can be got, it is in- tended to make further improvements by the ad- dition of a library, and billiard-room, gymnasium, i &c. On Sunday the usual Church parade, which I takes place on the first Sunday in each month, was held, the men being marched, under com- mand of Lieutenant Gibson, to Bistre Ciiiii-eli, where the sermon was preached by the Rev. J. M. E vans, chaplain to the corp", I

Lord Rateman gave notice that early next sessioJl he would call attention to the effects of a free trade policy without reciprocity in our lead- ing- industries, and move a resolution on the sub- jeet.-The Duke of Connaught's Establishment Bill was read a second time, and a number of other measures having been advanced a stage, their Lordships adjourned at half-past five o'clock. HOUSE OF COMMONS.—FKIDAY. Mr Kylands gave notice that early next session he would move that in future all treaties of guarantee should prior to ratification he laid before both Houses of Parliament, to afford them an opportunity of expressing an opinion thereon. -In reply to Sir J. McKenna, Mr Bourke said that the Government did not intend taking independent action with reference to matters between Turkey and her creditors, as these had all been referred by Congress to an International Commission.—The Chancellor of the Exchequer having declined to giye an undertaking that the agreement as to the reforms in Asiatic Turkey should not be concluded until Parliament had had an opportunity of expressing an opinion on it, lr hawcett gave notice (,f a motion declaring the opinion of the House that such agreement should not he concluded until the opportunity refcrml to had been given.-The adjourned debate on Lord Hartington's resolution was resumed by Lord Elcho, who contended that the ayitation of Mr Gladstone and his followers had parsed the influence of England in the ?st, and that the n?t mischievous results had only been averted by the firmness of the Government and the good sense of the coilliti-Y. The Government's policy had been eminently "nccefHI, and would be en.ph?.?J]y r.t?e<I by Parliament and tS country, Mr lister followed, and urged that .senous Iifflctllties hnd arisen from the policy of isolation which the Government had adopted, and without which there would have been no necessity for the Anglo-Turkish Convention. I his new departure in the Eastern policy of the country had been entered upon without the slightest consultation with Parliament, and the great council of the realm had thus been reduced to a nullify, and a precedent established destruc- tive of the authority of Parliament and dangerous to the rights and liberties of the country.—Mr Hammond and Mr O'Donnell spoke in support of the Government policy, winch was adversely criticised by Sir P.

Lnnl .\ort)ib)'ook presented a petition from the l• nha ntants of Calcutta and its vicinity on the subject of the recent increase of taxation and of the military and public works expenditure in IndM, and moved for papers on. the subject. Replying- to remarks hy Lord Northbruok pre- liminary to his motion, Lonl Cranbrook, said he did not at present see any possibility of making an appreciable reduction of the Indian army. The Secretary for India further said that he was not aware of any ground for apprehension that railways were to be constructed in Asia Minor guaranteed by the Indian revenue. Without committing himself on this point he would say that no proposal of the sort would ever be guaranteed without due consultation with the authorities both in India and at home. Lord Aapier of Magdala was of opinion that the Indian army had been reduced as far as was con- sistent with safety, and that it would be false economy to neglect to prosecute public works necessary to meet the exigencies of recurring famines, and to complete railway communica- tions. Lord Northbrook's motion for papers was agreed to. HOUSE OF COMMONS.—MONDAY. Mr J.

The House then went into committee of supply, when Lord George Hamil- ton moved the vote of €1,432,000 to complete the sum for education in England and Wales HOUSE OF LORDS.-Ti'Fsnw The Duke of Connaught (Establishment) Bill was read a third time and passed. The Earl of Camperdown asked for information as to the number of members of the reserve force who had lost their civil employment in consequence of having been summoned to join the army. Lord Napier of Magdala said that he was lad to hear that most of the large employers of labour were taking the men back again. Lord Bury said that at present it was impossible to tell how many of the men had lost their civil employment. The Secretary for War contemplated sending a circular letter to the employees of labour, im- pressing upon them the advisability of re-em- ploying these men. The Duk- of Cambridge said in his opinion nothing could have been more satisfactory than the appearance and conduct of the army and militia reserves while serving with the colours. After some remarks from Lord Cardwell and others, the stibiect droimed. HOUSE OF COMMONS.—TI-ESDAY. The Chancellor of the Exchequer, in committee of ways and means, expiained the supplementary budget, annonncin? that the extraordinary ex- penditure incurred lIming- the Eastern crisis would amount to £ <5,517,000, which he proposed j to meet by the issue of exchequer bonds exteiit I- ing over three years. Sir Stafford's statement: was severely criticised by Mr Childers and Mr Gladstone. The latter said that the proposals of the I hancellor of the Exclierpier with regard: to the mode of meeting the extraordinary ex- penditure which had been incurred revived a system of nuance which had been exploded 30: years ago, and Sir Robert Peel would have been not merely indignant but petrified at the financial principles of those who claimed to bt the heirs of his Conservative opinions. Eventu- ally the proposals ci)iit.-tine(I in the supplemen- tary budget were agreed to. In reply to Mr Jenkins, the Chancellor of the Exchequer made a statement with regard to the Anglo-Turkish Convention, which he said was not a sham one, but intended for real and practical purposes. No doubt the responsibility was a serious one, but the house and the country had continued the views of the Government that the objects to be obtained were worth the risk. HOUSE or C'^MMONS.—Wedxesday. When thi IloU-e met at noon, the seipiel was enacted to a scene in the previous night's debate, when Major O'Gorman, on being called to order, defied the Speaker, and eventually had to with- draw from the house. To-day he apologised to the Speaker and to the house, and his apology was accepted. A motion by Mr Dilvvyn for the appointment of a select committee at the com- mencement of each sc-sion to examine and report on the Civil Service estimates was re- jected by 01 against -10 votes. In committee of supply, Mr Hayter moved to reduce the vote on the supplementary army estimates by 125,000, the charge for huts at Cyprus. A debate ensued, in which the Opposition expressed strong dis- approval of the Indian troops being sent to Cyprus. Eventually the motion was withdrawn and the vote agreed to. The Contagious Dis- eases (Animals) Bill was read a third time and nassed. HOUSI,OF -DAY. 011 the order for going into committee on the tramway orders confirmation (No. 3) bill, Lord Henniker stated that the clause relating to the use of steam had been left out in the provisional order relating to the Glasgow and Throx tram- way, and the provisional order relating to the Wrexham tramway had been struck out altogether. It was proposed to permit the propulsion of tram cars by means of compressed air for two years as an experiment. The bill passed through committee. HOUSE OF COMMONS.-THI KSDAY. A new writ for Argylshire was ordered. Re- plying to Mr Bruce, Mr Bourke undertook to lay the report of Consul Blunt respecting the Russian atrocities in Bulgaria. on the table, if it were moved for. Lord (r. Hamilton said inquiry was being made into the subject of introducing musical instruction into elementary schools. A motion by Captain Pim to supersede the Naval Reserve by a large increase in the Royal Naval Artillery Volunteers, and increased facilities for their training, was rejected. Mr Maedonald called attention to the recent explosion at Hay- dock, by which L'JO lives were lost. The enquiry into the disaster showed not only a want of scientific knowledge, hut the grossest mismanage- ment on the part of those in charge of the pit. The House afterwardr got into Committee of Supply.

Many hundreds of farmers and cottagers flocked to contribute to the show, with evident relish for severe contest in the future, and the show was a decided success in nearly all classes. The centre tables were filled with fine collections of plants from the conservatories of Sir Wm. G. Williams, Captain Howley Conwy, Rev Watkin H. Williams, which were not for competition, hut which were the source of considerable attrac- tion. Mrs Peel and Mrs Rowley Conwy gave away the prizes and the Denbigh Volunteer Band discoursed excellent music during the afternoon, while Sir William entertained a numerous company in the Castle.

SIR,— Few places on the sea-side can rival IMiyl for its excellent railway ace<imiii.>d:ti-;n. The Chester aid Holyhead line sweeps the whole lenyth of coast in the two counties. The Vale of Clwyd is cleared by the line through it, bring- in also the Llangollen and Bala Valleys autocon- nection at Conven, and Wrexham and Mo' 1 are in direct line to it in another direction, so that four lines converge into the new and populous town. On Tuesday most of these row-es were severely taxed, but none so severely as the portion from Denbigh to lihyl, some 12 miles, which is a single line, and worked witii a staff.

ST. CHAD'S DAY AT HOLT, Karth to earth, ashes to ashes, dn-:t to (i.t, in sure and certain hope of the life," PEAil SlU, —1 pondered over the-i solemn word s as 1 entered the churchyard at Holt, on Sunday morning hist, to view the grave dressing, as it is called. This is a relic of very ancient tii-.e- The term Wakes," now in general use. originated no doubt from religious festivals in honour of the saints who at some time or other held u'oeedence over all observances. And rushbearings, which we in modern times, nay, T might almost say since the time when "the memory of man runneth not," is but a remnant if Liic-itnt festival. On last Sunday morning, by eight o'clock, might be seen many persons, old and young, hearing rushes to the graveyard to dress the graves of those they had loved and And certainly it was a pleasing, though somewhat a melancholy, sight to see the numerous graves covered with rushes interspersed with flowers, many of them decorated with wreaths suspended from or laid upon the tombs and grave stones of the dead. One fact, however, struck me which i fed bound to mention, and that was an unsightly mound oil the north side of the church, which contains the relics of the dead rein. <V.1 from the church at its restoration, now about years ago, and there they still remain. Is there 110 one in Holt aide or willing to do away with this disgrace? If ('hurchnien will not do it, surely the Nonconformists, who are numerous in Holt, ought to make :v. effort to obtain either an enlargement of the Church burial grounds or a new cemetery. I know that Mr Peter Walker, of Wrexham, some years ago generously offered to give land sufficient for the purpose of en larging the burial grown. t, but, I ttiii told, the dread of having to p,y about for consecration fees deterred the churchwardens from accepting his offer. I can scarcely believe this but be it true or not, unless the now vicar, when he comes to reside at Holt, which i under- stand will be shortly, does something to remedy the present state of things, there are several of the inhabitants of Holt who are determine'! to memorialise the Burial Board with a view to an alteration. After viewing the grave dressing, I passed into the grand old church which was most tastefully i clecorated and where a large congregation, j listened with interest to a very able sermon, suitable for the occasion, which was preached by ■ the ltev. Mr Barton, curate in charge. —Yours truly, lith August, lsTS..T.Tl. HAFOD COLLIERY. Sir, —Seeing that the dispute bctweu. Mr Harrnt, manager of Hafo<)ybwc!t t 'l!e;.y, the day labourers and lads of tli-tt the action taken by the latter, has not been fairly represented in your last issue, I think it is only right the public should know the tree state of things. I don't for trying to make it appear that he never was upon better terms with his men than he is now," because it must be disagreeable for the public nnd his em- ployers to find that he is always at variance wjth his men, much less the peace:ible (?) inhabitants of Rhos,for trying to make it aopear.the labourers and boys meant 110 harm when they assembled together on the morning of July ?0th, because much has been said in yours and other papers lately about the poverty of tiie Khos (very justly too), and a good deal has been done for the poor by the neighbouring gentry, and to prove that the Khos people were riotous under the cir- cumstances would, of course, be fatal to the good cause. I shall say 110 more this time, s ir, except give you the following fa'-ts, which 1 hope you will kindly allow to appear in your next is.-i, On duly 13th, Mr Karrat gave fourteen days' notice to all his men. I11 about a week after, lie had all the coal cutters 011 the pit bank, asking them if they were agreeable that one half of them should come to their work at s L o'clock in the morning and remain until 2 in the afternoon, the other half at nine n'dock, to work until four (the two lots to change every other week), in order that the day labourers and lads should be kept from six o'clock in the morning until four ill tllu itftei-iloi)ll, i)l. te;tqi of t%l-,) o"(- "It the men accepted without consulting the labourers and the boys. The notice expired on the 27th July. (11\ the :30tlt some of the coal cutters and labourers went to their work, but many stayed at home, especially the ladsj and things did not appear c-oycfortable at all. At five o'clock the fcllov.'ini; morning, duly 31 st, the lads and labourers of Hafodybwch and neighbouring collieries were by the New Inn, shouting hm-rah, &c" and stopped every man from going to his work who had to return home. Some of the under- grottiitl iiiaiizlgers-of Hafod went to them with a v iew of persuading them to allow the men to go to their work, and to go themselves, but stones were thrown at them and they had to retire, and the pits had to stop in consequence the crowd then formed a procession and marched up to the Ponkey, amidst great noise and shoutings, where they kept a meeting for a length of time, the I leli,,?t l i ('?L tile Fife and Drum Band playing at intyvals hcct- inn up, and at last came into the Khos streets where they paraded up and down for consider- able time, the band playing before them, prossim.- every workingnian into the crowd as they wen ? along, similarly to what they did when ever memorable riot took place here about a year and nine months ago. The streets crowded with men, women, allll children anviiuislyiook ino- on. I heard one shopkeeper, who is an old in- habitant, saying "ifUds is not the beginin- of a not I never saw one" adding he hoped tiie police would take some notice of it. By about VI -0 a.m. they had gone down Gutter "Hill ami ar- rtveo at the New Inn for the second time, where they made a halt, deliberating whether they should go to Mr Barrat's house or to the eollicry, however, being persuaded to send a depni xtio/i and were told that the police had gone down there, they sent a. deputation. Mr Barrat beinc away in London, Mr Hough received them, and promised them work the next morning upon the old terms. \o one knows wlmt might have been the result had lie not done so. However, ] informed that Mr Hough received a telegram from Mr Barrat later on in the day, to say frtiat j the liquidators would not accept any le s than ten hours work* per day, and the pits must stop Illitil became home. Without any further com- iiieiit, 1 will leave the matter in the hands of | your readers to judge whether an event like this should be treated so lightly ? Ax <b:sntVK!

London Gossip. As "a street s how the presentation of the freedom of tho City to Lord Beaeonsfield and the Manpiis of Salisbury was not a rtreat.success. Poor old Temple Bar, or what remains of it, was made to look supremely ridiculous by the ttldi. tion of a sort of packing ease of wood, supposed to represent a sort of triumphal arch, up< ill which straddled a pair of the most comical tinsel griffins eye ever beheld. Within the gates, and from that point along Fleet-street and Ludgate the signs of jubilation were more numerous than they were further A Vest, hut at no part of the route was there manifest the usual indications of what may he termed :t national welcome.s to the ceremony and the banquet which followed hanI upnll it," they were, as the reporters sav, triumphant successes. There was, it is true, one discordant note heard-the voice of a per-on who rose and exclaimed with threat deliberation, Trtitor. to the Constitution -])tit it was soon suppressed. Xow that the junketings, civic and other, is over, and the Feast of St. Grouse is at hand, people are wondering whether we are to have an Autumn election, after all. I don't know, but I think we shall. The i>ortent.s de- cidedly point in that direction. i Lord Jieaeonsfield's friends are of opinion that he will resist the temptation to "pencl the even- ing of his life in inglorious ease. He is jealous ] not of temporary fame, but of the verdict of j History. He knows that what the British people admire above everything else is pluck, and what they never pardon is showing the white feather." If, after having inaugurated a new and difficult era of Eastern policy, the Premier were to retiio, and leave the responsi- hility and perhaps the odium of carrying out that policy upon the shoulders of Others, he would lay himself open ill the judgment of pos- terity to the charge of moral cowardice. Lord, Salisbury, at any rate, does not fail to see the difficulties and dangers of our situation with reference to Minor. His speech at the Mansion House showed plainly that, in spite of himself, he was not without his misgivings. Even in twelve months' time the gilt may have worn off the ginger-bread. It would he no light ta.sk for a Minister in office to bear the re-action of public sentiment which new disasters in the East might occasion. But tenfold execrations would fall upon the head of a Minister who had retired to avoid the coming storm, and the ex- cuses of age and illness would not avail to shield him from the resentment of mol s which now applaud. The Heserves resemble the famous French army which one day distinguished themselves by marching up a hill and the next day njually distinguished themselves by marching down again, rhev will understand by this time the agreeable nature of the conditions to which they are bound. They engage in trade or obtain em- ploynient at a few days' notice they are sum- moned away to join their ranks, leaving wives and families to the workhouse or the streets.. Within a month or two, n* it is ill this case, they tl' I, '] 1 receive their I ismissal and return to find their I trade gone and their situations tilled by others. Such is the destitution into which many of these brave and honourable fellows are thrown, through no fault of their own, that the Arch bishop of Canterbury is obliged to advertise for subscriptions* in their slid. The whole srnny- ment is clumsy, and it is incalculably cruel in its clumsiness. That which causes o iiiiilli in- dividual destitution and misery cannot be px- pected to add much to the national prosperity and safety. Ttaly will take care of herself. Fimi as D'Azeglio once relililrked; but who will take care of the Italians'' This is the hitch in the redemption of Italy, wllil,h D'A,:p]in foresaw with great acuteness, and we have felt during the last We 1'1- or two that this hitch has not been got over. All reports agree that the Italian ir- reeoneileables mean mischief with this cry of "Italv unredeemed." If we could agree with a recent correspondent from Pome that it was only a. poor attempt of the Papnlini to sow dissen- sions, one might hope that it would he seen through. But it is more than this. The cry is a genuine one, however nonsensical it may seem to us. In all parts of the peninsula this Trieste- Trentino agitation has sprung up, as it were, simultaneously, and it will tax the skill of the Cairolo Ministry to pilot the State through these shoals and quicksands. Is, happily, a fund of g,'oll ;e:1;C at the bottom in Italians, audi do not lnonv any country where the ap- peal from Philip drunk to Philip sober, is so certain of success. The close of the "glorious Goodwood" week marks also the close of the London season, and we have, in fact, come to the end of it. It has not been n particularly brilliant one, partly owing to the long-continued absenceof the Prince of Wales, but chiefly occasioned by the uncer- tainty of our relations with forei^ gn Powers and consequent dulness of trade and commerce. It is pleasing, however, to note that there is already a considerable commercial revival. Punch so per-istently toadies the T<m'—as, indeed, it alwavs ]iiin tit,iie-tlllt it is rather re- markable that ft lahors under the delusion that the leading journal is published Oil the Sunday.

Lo;;don local paper, published in the neigh-rf bourhood of Eulham, states that several of the American Bishops are staying with the mhop of London at Fulham Palace, and that "their lor.lsbii is to a man "mnkc in 1.1',1."

The special feature of Mr Jenkinsoiiv guide ] looks j" that while he is particular tonote antiquities and to give historical information, there is not too much of this. lh we have said in the introduction to The Pdin/i liable t<iWre.rl«r,ir. "The great fault found to exist in the generality (If "Hide honks i, tlwir extreme difi'useness, and very often the real information is clothed in such a mass of verbiage, and hedged round with such a vast amount of historical or arcmeolo.Liieal or other equally foreign matter, that it is with some difficulty that the pu:zled tourist makes out the directions which are to serve as his guide, and which ought to lIe as dear as a newly-painted finger-post. Historical and other similar facts and fictions are all very well in their way, but to cram a guide book with them ad nniimtm is sufficient to cause the visitor to toss it 011 one side as practically useless to bin.. We do not mean to assert that the bye-gone events of a town or district do not possess an interest. Very often they have^the highest claim to the attention of the tourist, but, in our opinion, it is sufficient in a guide book to simply point them ont and leave the rest to be hunted up Ly each one for himself, and from better authorities than the guide book can possibly 1,e," This idea Mr .Tenkinson has carried out admirably in his new guide, there is sufifcient to acquaint the traveller, and no more,— no rambling details to weary him. Another commendable feature is that ji.irt of the district is brought under review, and fully described. No one locality is sketched in j elaborate detail, and another omitted or just casually noticed, but all alike are vi-ited by Mr .Tenkinson and their attractions made clear to the reader. Of course, all districts of North Wales have not the same great charms, but how many guide book- giving whole chapters to Snowdon have devoted anything like the attention that should he paid to the but little 1 less attractive hills of neighbouring counties— say the massive groups between Dolgelly. Traws- I fynydd and Barmouth TIiese and every other range -Air .Tenkinson fully describes, indeed the 11;.ire we look int0 the book the more we wonder at and admire the patience and perseverance the anthor mu-t have exercised, to have amassed such a va t amount of topographical information, and to have reduced it to suc-h plain intelligible directions. From Aberystwith to Chester, and i Holyhead to Llanidloes, theie is 110 single tourist district which is not noted, and with this book in h ind the traveller, and especially the pedes- trian, will lie able to find his way anywhere.

Mir>iu.F.sn<iKor«H, Tuesday.—1The market to- day wa" thinly attended, especially hy sellers, Inquiries for pig iron were numerous, and quotations varied considerably, some asking atJs (Id for No. others 40, and others 30s. There were plenty of consumers desirous of buying largely at 3:'s, but makers were not prepared to seM much, The ironmasters' statistics for July, which were issued this morning, will do much to improve trade, The stocks in the district have fallen 18,700 tons, which is more than had been looked for. Stock altogether reached 207,000 tons on the 31st ultimo. The month's make was 104,090 tons. The shipments of Cleveland iron were 8300 tons in excess of July last year. Finished iron is still exceedingly dull. Coal is unchanged. WOLVERHAMPTON, Wednesday. There are more orders and more inquiries with respect to finished iron, and, though the nominal rates are reached hut in few instances, prices are better supported. Some good business has been done in unmarked bars, plates, tube sheets, and com- mon sheets for galvanising purposes, the prices for the latter being" easier. Local pig iron is in better demand, and foundry pigs are selling readily. There is more doing in the coal trade. BIRMINGHAM. Thursday. — There are more orders coming in for both finished and pig fron, and prices all round are firm. Best branded bars are still SS lOs per ton, and sheet makers are tinn in their quotations of tg for singles. Piy iron has if anything advanced since the quarterly meeting, and less than 414 per ton will not now be accepted common pigs arc less firm.

The Farm and Garden. AGRICULTURE. THE CORN Tit-ki)p.riie Express? says—" Wheat-cutting has commenced fully a weak earlier than was the case last year, thanks to the brilliant wea.ther which was experienced during and after the blooming time, the yellow sheaves are giving additional interest to the summer landscape. In spite of some complaints of light and defective ears, the wheat crop of 187-S may be safely put down as a fair average of about 30 bushels per acre: highly farmed districts may be better. Barley has improved a little. Owing to the recent showers, roots appear to have been doing well, but more rain would do them good, particularly in Scotland, where potatoes and turnips are suffering from want of moisture. Very little change can be noted in the trade for English wheat, which has ruled quiet but steady. Both at Mark-laneand in the country markets, supplies have been moderate, and all fresh-thrashed samples have commanded full prices. The imports of foreign wheat into London have been on a more moderate scale of late. last Monday's return showing only about 3.000 .quarters, while the subsequent arrivals up to Friday were only 20,200 quarters.

The weather was very favorable, and the members wearing their regalia, &c., paraded through the village as far as the Mostyn Brewery, then i returned, calling at different places, to the club- room at the back of the Farmer's Inn, where a I pleasant evening was spent. The chair was taken by Mr T. Jones, Mostyn Brewery, who filled his post with success, The report of the j lodge for the year was read by W.

In the tug of war. the steady pulling of the Buckley men (though in appearance a much lighter team) prevailed against the jerking of the Caergwrle lot. In the evening a great number danced to the sweet music of the band. Provisions were supplied by Mr Piercy, Caergwrle. [n the races Mr Brailsford acted as | judge, and Sergeant Leggatt as starter.
