FATAL ACCIDENT AT BRONWYLFA I COLLIERY. On Thursday last, about one o'clock, an accident, which resulted in the immediate death of a man named William Shone, occurred at the above colliery. It appears that deceased and a fellow workman of the name of George Denton were coming along a level to the month of the pit, when the roof gave way, and a large quantity of stone fell upon them, crushing Shone against the side, and rolling upon Denton. Shonp, as we have said before, was killed upon the spot, and Denton received very severe inquiries. Yesterday, an inquest was held npon the body of Shone who, we regret to say, ha-s left a wife and large family.

LADIES' CLUB ANNIVERSARY. There is a proverb in Holy Writ which tells us that there is a time for everything; a time to sow and a time to reap, and a time to make merry. Summer time, when we breathe the sweet breezes of a July morning—when we witness with pleasure a brilliant sun rising from the abyss below, and re- flecting upon our earth its glorious rays-is a season when the hearts of men are joyous, and they forget the toils of daily life to enjoy the pleasures of a few hours of recreation. And who can deny their right to it ? Men and women were made to commingle together, and sacredly has the divine command been kept since the moment our fore- lathers were placed in Eden. Well nigh six thousand years have passed away since the crea- tion, but there is not a page in history which does not tell us of a time of happiness. Every country has its habits, its national festivals, and its social gatherings; in every town and villace. there is a common holiday; and why should we in Mold be an exception to the general rule ? As Welshmen we are enthusiastic; as Britishers we love to follow cha example of the busy bees of our manufacturing districts. We are poor, no doubt, but we can boast of a union of sympathy and good feeling which our more opulent neighbours cannot surpass. Friendly co-operation for friendly purposes have found root In our rugged mountains, and the pleasure is allotted to us of recording, not incidentally, but regularly, the doings of mutual assistance societies; a-d it is because we appreciate the actions and the beneficent objects of such societies-that we recog-o raise the proceedings of our Ladies' Club. A Dickens, whose tongue is now still in the solitary grave, has depicted with skill which no other author has enjoyed, the sufferings of poor and neglected women but it was left to Ladies' Clubs and other kindred societies, to provide the machi- nery to relieve their many wants. And nobly have they done so. The Mold Ladies' Club is a flourish- ing society, whilst they extend a helping hand to all who need their assistance, they are provident; and, by skilful management, we find that they are at present worth something like £1.100, a fact which many of our friendly societies ought not only to know but to profit by. They h ive paid during the year £ 86 3s. sick relief, and j616 for funerals, bat nevertheless they are in a position to meet to the fullest every claim that can be made upon them a circumstance which ought to be both re- assuring to present members, and an incentive to others to join their ranks. But to return to the annual carnival, though on the previous evening serious doubts were enter- tained as to the clemency of the weather, on Thurs- day morning they were all dispelled, by the appear- ance of a beautiful sun and a sky as clear as the cry- stal streams which pass listlessly along near many of our villages. In the morning many of the ladies were engaged in decorating themselves, and making the Assembly Rooms ready for the tea party, whilst between one and two o'clock in the after- noon the great body of members began to assemble at the County Hall, where at about a quarter to three they formed a procession, and headed by the lady patroness (Mrs Lewis, Preswylfa), who was supported on either side by Mrs Clongh and Mrs T. Wynne Eyton (Tower), marched along Chester- atreet and High-street to St. Mark's Church, the splendid band of the Flintshire Militia, under the charge of their instructor, Bugle Maj or Jones, play- ing some lively airs as they passed along the line of route. The procession numbered some 180 members, all of whom carried in their hands white painted wands with a collection of flowers formed into bouquets fastened to the ends. They were Accompanied by the stewards (Messrs Corbett and W. Jones, Wrexham-street). Evening service took place at the church, the first lesson being read by the Rev. J. R. James (curate of the parish), and the second by the Rev. Jenkin Davies, vicar. The sermon was preached by the Rev M. Jones, of Bistree, who selected for his text the 30th verse of the 31st chapter of the book of Proverbs: Favour is deceitful and beanty is vain; but the woman that feareth the Lord shall be praised." The preacher spoke at some length of the great re- sponsibilities which were cast upon women, and urged them to lead a virtuous life, to be contented with whatever situation i. might please God to place them, and especially to avoid the great crime of adultery. It could not be doubted that—whether they considered the welfare of the female sex in this world or in eternity—chastity should be at the bottom of all, it was the foundation of all worth and excellence in the female sex. ine same re- marks would apply to the ether sex, but the con- sequences of chastity were so much worse in the unhappy female who had lost her virtue. She be- came the object of scorn and derision-was shunned by her former friends-whilst those who pitied her pointed her out as an example of vice and a warn- ing to others. He then pointed out the duties which devolved upon woman when she became the mother of children. During the period of infancy the child was under her immediate care. She had to nourish and nurse it; she it was who had to give it early instruction and impart those early principles which grew up with it, and made it either a good or bad, a virtuous or a vicious mem- ber of society. When service concluded, the members reformed into a procession and went to the Market Hall, where they were provided with a capital tea which was supplied by Mr Job Edwards, confectioner. The room was tastefully decorated rfith evergreens, interspersed with appropriate mottoes, whilst on che tables were placed some beaut ful flowers pre- sented by the neighbouring gentry. Tea over, a procession was again formed, which marched on to the famous old Bailey Hill. Dancing comme iced about six o'clock, and was kept up with unflagging energy till after nine o'clock, and we confess the scene from the bill" was a very pretty one. Several hundreds mounted the heights during the evening, and viewed with evident pleasure the beautiful country around, and the innocent amuse- ments which were carried out upon the Bowling Green. We should not forget to mention that the town was decorated with flags, and that from the towering spire of the old parish church waved proudly a national ensign. Valuable assistance was rendered to ensure the success of the meeting by Messrs Dean, Cottingham, H. Pring, Lewis, and Rowland, who undertook the duty of superintend- ing the sale of tickets. GWERSYLLT. I THE FATAL ACCIDENT AT THE FROOD I COLLIERY. Yesterday (Friday) afternoon, an adjourned inquest was held at the New Inn, Gwersyllt, before B. H. Thelwall, Esq., respecting the death of John Thomas, coal miner, aged 34 years, who was killed at the Frood Colliery. The jury was composed of Mr Daniel Budwalden, foreman Messrs W. Bradshaw, W. Tudor, G. Davies, LI. Powell, C. Hughes, T. Mercer, C. W. Pagett, James Price, T. Edwards. W. Barratt, W. M. Sutherland Frazer, Price Bithell, Philip Acton, and T. W. Williams. Mr William Patterson, surveyor, put in a plan of the workings of the A pit, Pont Plasmain, where the deceased worked in the crown coal, on the 5th of July. The chartermaster, Thomas Evans, said he found no gas when he went into the workings about seven hours after the accident, nor after- damp there. The explosion took place in the waste, where the deceased had no right to go. They could not account for his going there. The fireman, Robert Lewis, said there was gas there, and he ought to have put a signal up, but he had never told him to do so. Lewis, however, told the men not to go there. The gas ignited about eight yards from where the men were working in the face. They were working with naked candles. Robert Lewis, fireman, said that upon examining the workings on the morning of the accident he found gas in the top waste, and told all the men, including the deceased, not to go there; but he put up no signal, according to the rule. The deceased was to work abont 40 yards from the waste, where the explosion took place. He found him coming down from the waste, having been badly burnt. He noticed a little after-damp there at the bottom of No. 2 wicket, where he found the deceased, who had had a naked light. There had been a fall of roof in the waste three or four days before the accident. Mr Higson said the fireman ought to have carried out rule 3, anj put a signal at the opening to the waste, and stopped the men working till the g&a was removed, and not to half do his work in future. There was not ample ventilation in the pit, but there was enough to keep it safe in the working places with ordinary care. It was safe to work without candles; they could not ventilate goffs." The ventilation ought to be augmented, and it might be done very easily. It was not a fiery mine; and if there had been ten times as much ventilation, the accident might happen in the waste, in that or any other mine in the world. The only neglect was in the nreman not putting up a signal. Charles Thomas, brother of the deceased, said he was at the bottom of the brake at the time of the explosion, about 100 yards from the waste. When he heard the explosion, he ran to the place thinking that his brother might be injured, and passed Bobert Lewis on the way. He went up to his brother who was kneeling down near the face, before the fireman reached him, and the deceased said to Robert Lewis Bob, this is all your fault." This was that he had not told him there was danger in the place, as he passed him on his way going there. William Tudor, a youth, said the fireman told him and others to keep fire away from the wastes, but he did not say there was danger. Lewis had never put up signals of danger, but there was occasion for them. There had been danger in the yards a month ago and no signal. Lewis was to be blamed for not putting up signals. He did not hear the deceased told about the wastes. Peter Hughes, collier, proved that Lewis had told him and others there was gas; but John Thomas was not there then. Witness and others were working before the fireman went down, and went through the workings themselves, having a lamp with them. A witness named Chaloner also gave evidence that Lewis had examined the waste, but he did not know whether the deceased had heard the warning respecting it. Mr Patterson said there were plenty of signals ready to be put up. Mr Higson asked why they were not up. There was no control or management in the pit. Mr Patterson said they had never heard of danger before. The Coroner said it did not appear to be proved that the deceased had heard the fireman saying there was danger and the question was how far Lewis was culpable for his negligence in not carry- ing out th3 rule. • The deceased's brother said the fireman had not had time to inspect the waste. His brother had told him that he was going to the face for a peg, and on the way he met the fireman, who told him all was safe. The gas fired by the face, for his candle and pipe were found there. The coal had fallen down and stopped the ventilation where he was. He came there to blame the fireman for telling his brother when he passed him on the road that there was no danger. Mr Higson (to Mr Patterson): You had better burn these rules. They are not read or carried out in the colliery. The witness Lewis was recalled, and denied that the deceased had said after the accident that it was all his fault. He was the first to reach the deceased, not the brother. The Inspector If there had been a signal the man's life would have been saved. If the ex- plosion took place at the face, greater ventilation would have prevented it. The jury, after a deliberation of about half an hour, returned a verdict That the deceased, John Thomas, met with his death by an explosion of gas at No. 2 wicket, Plasmain, Frood Colliery, and we find that the said explosion occurred through the neglect of the fireman, Robert Lewis, to pat up a danger signal as directed in special rule No. 3 for the working of the said colliery," The Coroner: Then you fi nd that the fireman was guilty of culpable but D'ot of criminal neglect The Foreman: Yes.

OSWESTRI DISPENSARY.—The annual meet- ing of the subscribers took place on Tuesday, at ihe Dispensary, E. Shaw, Esq., Mayor, in the chair; and there were also present J. T. Jones, Esq., Dr. Wynn, Dr. Fuller, Dr. Davies, T. Edwards, Esq., and the Rev. T. Gasqnoine. The report for the past year was read and adopted. The retiring members of the committee were G. H. Crump, Esq., E. Wright, Esq., T. Minshall, Esq., and R. J. Croxon, Esq., who were re-elected. The election of a secretary and dispenser in the room of Mr Harper is to take place at a special meeting. PRIMITIVE METHODIST SUNDAY SCHOOL.—By the kind permission of J. T. Jones, Esq., Brynhavod, the annual treat to the children of the above school was held in a field near Brynhavod, on Thursday last. The children marched through the Cross, Church-street, Brook-street, &c., with flags and banners, headed by the Band of Hope Drum and Fife Band, to the field set apart for refresh- ments, sports, and pastimes. The weather being all that could be wished, a very delightful day was spent by both children and teachers. Several rounds of cheers were given by the children before they left the ground, to Mr and Mrs Jones, for their kindness on this and all previous occasions. ACCIDENT.-An accident of rather an alarming character took place yesterday, not far from Gobowen Station. It appears that the coachman of Colonel Lovett, accompanied by two of the Colonel's children, left Belmont in a carriage and pair, with the intention of meeting Mrs Lovett, who was returning home by railway. The two children alighted at the station all right. While the carriage and pair were waiting at Gobowen Station one of the horses was a little restive, and the coachman more than once very gently applied the whip to the refractory horse. The last time he did so the horse made a bolt of it, when the coachman more heavily than before applied the whip. This, however, only made matters worse, and the horses started off at full speed, throwing the coachman a considerable distance, and smash- ing the carriage, which was nearly a new one and worth about zC150, to atoms. The coachman, we are happy to say, was not much hurt. TESTIMONIAL TO E. ELIAS, ESQ., THE TRAFFIC MANAGER OF THE CAMBRIAN RAILWAY CompANY.- A large number of the friends and well-wishers of Mr Elias have resolved on presenting him with a testimonial as a mark of the esteem and respect in which he has been held by them during his man- agement of the Cambrian Railways. On Wednes- day an influential meeting was held at the Wynn- stay Arms, Oswestry, by adjournment from Welsh- pool, to further the object in view. Mr Alderman Lloed, of the Hoyes, was unanimously called to the chair, aud afterwards appointed chairman of the central committee. Amongst those present were J. Humphreys, Esq., Hanley Hall; R. S. France, Esq.; Mr G. J. Saunders, Oswestry; Mr John Ward, rhe Donnet; Mr J. Richards, Llynclys Ma T. Withy, LlansaintSraid Mr E. M. Morris, Hon. Sec., &c. Letters were read from the fol- lowing gentlemen, who either offered contribntions or expressed their willingness to act upon com- mittees in their respective neighbourhoods :— Owen Wynne, Esq., Peniarth; Mr Ed. Breeze, Portmadock; Mr PelI, Belle Vue Hotel, Aberyst- with Mr J. R. Davies, Corsygedol Arms Hotel, Barmouth; Mr E.

Full particulars of these appointments will be shortly announced. The greatet enthusiasm {prevailed at the meeting, and the testimonial promises to be one worthy of the occasion and the man. The Mayor of Oswestry, E. Shaw, Esq., was not able to be present, but has expressed himself warmly in favour of the object contemplated.

MELANCHOLY DEATH, AND FUNERAL OF MR. ABRAHAM DAVIES. Mr Abraham Davies, of the Golden Ball, a gentleman highly respected in this town, lost his life while bathing in the River Vemiew, at Llwyn- tidman, last Monday afternoon. Mr Davies on Monday joined two friends, Mr Jeffery Poole, of Liverpool, and his brother, Mr R. D. Poole, of Walworth-road, London, at their aunt's, Mrs Savage's, a farm at Llwyntidman. They went to bath in the Verniew not long after dinner, and Mr Davies was drowned. Mr Jeffrey Poole, in his praiseworthy efforts to save the life of his friend, was seized by him round the neck, and he had a very narrow escape. The body of Mr Davies was recovered from the river by Mr Richard Downes, of Carnbwl, and Mr John Downes, of Rhantre- gunwin.. Th.-y searched the place with poles for a quarter of an hour or twenty minutes, without success they then obtained a salmon net, and at the first cast brought the body to the shore. It was conveyed to the farm at Llwyntidmalt. The deceased was thirty-three years of age last December. His services in the promotion of musical education in his native town have been very zealous and long-continued; and this cir- cumstance, combined with the high appreciation of his many good qualities, and the sympathy felt for his bereaved wife and youthful family, have occasioned a very general expression of regret at his untimely death. On Tuesday evening, Mr E. Blackburne, coroner for Shropshire, held an inquest before a jury, of which Mr James Ratcliffe was the foreman, at the house of Mrs Elizabeth Savage, Llwyntidman, .when a verdict of Accidentally drowned" was returned. On Thursday last the femoral obsequies took place at the Oswestry cemetery, in the presence of a large number of spectators. The funeral was an open one, and upwards of 200 of the tradesmen in the town, and friends from the neighbourhood paid their last tribute of respect to the deceased by going in procession to the grave. The coffin was borne by young men of the town, his acquaintances, with six pall bearers, and followed by tha relatives, friends, and tradesmen above referred to. Along the line of procession all the shops were partly closed, and private houses had the blinds closely drawn. (The greatest possible respect was exhibited by the inhabitants of the tuwn generally, and great sympathy is felt for the bereaved family) An address was delivered by the Rev. T. Gasquoine, Independent minister, in the chapel, and at the grave the funeral service was read by this gentle- man, the concluding prayer being offered by the Rev. Mr Sainsburv, brother-in-law of the deceased, and minister of tlae Congregational ChApel, Bootl- near Liverpool*

I THE CASE OF BOULTON AND PARK. I I Cn Saturday afternoon the prisoners ijouium ana Park were brought up from Newgate to the Judges Chambers to bo admitted to bail, and a crowd assembled when it was known that the men In women's clothes were to be present.. Mr Lewis, who apearad for the defendant, wished to mention that the Lord Chief Justice did not fix the bail, but the amounts were agreed iiion by the Attorney-General, and it was wished to be known that the responsibility rested entirely with the Attorney-General. Mr Pollard attended from the office of the Solicitor to the Treasury. The bail in the four cases (two of which had been accepted) were examined, and answered satisfactorily. They were all accepted by Mr Justice Montague Smith, and Park and Boiilton entered into their recognisances to appear next teim at the Court of Queen's Bench. The defendants Park and Boulton returned to New- gate until Monday, when the charge of felony was legally withdrawn, and their discharge from prison was given. The other defendants, Hurt and Fisk, had been previously liberated. The Pali Mall Gazette says :-Some very great blunder, to say the least, has been committed in the case ef Boulton and Park, and it is difficult to imagine on what ground the prisoners were com- mitted on the charge of felony, if such charge was to be withdrawn after committal. A great in- justice has been done either to the prisoners or to the public. If the evidence in the hands of the authorities was not sufficient to justify them in supposing they could procure a conviction on the graver charge, surely it should never have been advanced. If, on the other hand, the evidence was sufficient to justify such a conclusion, the public has a right to expect that the law should be allowed to take its course. We conclude that in withdrawing the charge of felony the Government has acted on the opinion of the law officers of the Crown. On whose opinion did the Executive act in the earlier stage of the proceedings ? One of the unfortunate consequences of the hesitating policy which has been adopted in this most serious case is that dis- agreeable rumours are afloat which create an im- pression difficult to remove, untd some full and satisfactory explanation has been given of the circumstances which have led to this sudden collapse of the prosecution. Edward Harry Park, alias Charles Ferguson, brother to Park who is awaiting his trial on a charge of misdemeanour, was charged at Marylebone police court, on Monday, with indecent conduct in 1862, at which time he did not surrender to his bail. He was remitted to the Middlesex sessions without bail.

TERRIBLE STORMS AND LOSS OF LIFE. I A terrible thunder-storm, followed by heavy floods in the rivers, swept over Lancashire on Saturday afternoon, and caused extensive damage to property and the loss of several lives. The storm travelled southwards, and in the .northern division of the county the ravages it caused were chiefly confined to the immediate beds of the rivers, and the flooding of low-lying lands. The flood broke upon the valley above Todmorden, however, with as much suiden- ness and impetuosity aa if a waterspout had burst upon the hill tops. A party of cricketers engaged in a match on the river bank were compelled to flee for their lives, so suddenly was their ground inun- dated. Almost incalculable damage has been done to the mills built on the banks of the stream and supplied from it. In one or two cases dwelling houses were partly washed away. In one an aged widow, observing the sudden rising of the water, sent for assistance, but before it could reach her she was drowned in the rising tide or killed in the crash ot her falling house, A man named George Butter- worth was endeavouring to. escape with two of George Goodhall's children at Ratten Clough, when about to cross over a wall into the turnpike road and thence into the shelter of the wood the wall was washed down upon him. He ?as carried across a field ab!- out three hundred yards where he was found insensible, and the two children were not with him. The devastation at Ratten Clough is great, the road being completely blocked up with 3tones and debris. The bodies of both the children have been recovered and also that of the widow, Mary Greenwood, which latter was found about five hundred yards from her home entangled with a lamp post and terribly mu- tilated. Two coal pita are also blocked up in Dales- gate. At Bacup the flood appears to have been still more destructive, a large amount of property being sub- merged to an average depth of seven or eight feet, and in some places even twelve feet. Several mills built on arches over the Irwell, and a small tribu- tory stream, were severely damaged, and that of Messrs Ankers swept entirely away. The co-opera- tive mill in Newell-street also suffered greatly. Nearly the whole of the public houses were inun- dated, and a glass of beer was almost unattainable in Bacup on Saturday night. The water was some eight feet in St. James's.street, the principal street of the town. The tradesmen rapidly piled what goods they could on the counters, but the water rose with such force and rapidity that in many instances the counters were wrenched from their fastenings, and in all the shops the flood reached within a few feet of the ceiling. In the midst of the ,confu- sion the gas went suddenly out, and the shop- keepers, &-a., had to make their escape into the upper rooms. At this time, horses, carts, bales of cotton, a gentleman's carriage, furniture of all de- scriptions, machinery and goods of all kinds, were to be seen fljating down the street, breaking doors, shutters, shop and house windows in all directions. In addition to the great damage caused to the cot- ton mills and other manufactories, and irrespective of the loss sustained by the tradesmen throughout the town, hundreds of working people have been rendered homeless, their houses being quite unin- habitable, in addition to the whole of their house- hold goods having been either carried away or en- I tirely spoiled. The full extent of the damage was not realised till Sunday afternoon and this morning. At the back of lodmorden-road is a street called long-lane, which is, or rather was, mostly inhabited by poor people. The houses on the ground floor are small, and are mostly occupied by cotton operatives. At the best ot times these houses are close and un- healthy, and liable to be flooded in the event of an extra fall of rain, as the houses are contiguous to the stream, which is partly built over. The water rose so rapidly that the inmates were glad to escape with their lives, without attempting to save their household effects. The houses along the whole length of the lane were completely gutted. The lower rooms were filled with water close to the ceil- ing, the windows were broken, and where the furni- ture was not entirely wa-hed out it was completely destroyed. The stone flags of the fll :s were torn up, and a deposit of mud left nearly a yard deep Altoge her the damage done in Bacup is estimated at about £ 150,000. Burnley and Accrington were visited by a like storm at the same time. The rain poured down in torrents, and was unremitting for upwards ot two hours. The River Calder, which passes through Burnley, was swollen, and rose, in an incredibly short space of time, something like four feet above its ordinary level. The streets presented the appear- ance of an unbroken stream men and women and children could be seen wading through the water knee deep, whilst here and there were to be seen, floating on the water, stray pieces of furniture. At Portsmouth, which is about three miles from Burn- ley, the line was blocked up for a considerable time by the sediment washed from the hills, and the water on some parts of the line covered the steps of the carriages. Special trains on Sunday conveyed thousands of spectators to the scenes of the disasters at Todmor- den and Bacup. On Saturday afternoon a tremendous storm passed over citoke-upon-Trent. The rain came down literally in torrents for upwards of an hour without intermission, and there were heavy claps of thunder and vivid flashes of lightning. The heat was intense, and no wind prevailed. One of the flashes of lightning killed a girl about ten years old, named Malkin. At Trentham, three or four miles from Stoke, the- weather was fine. On the same evening a severe thunderstorm, ac- companied by heavy rain, broke over the castle and town of Windsor, Eton, and Eton. College. While the storm was at its height, the lightning struck the first of a stack of ornamental, red brick chimneys above the roof ot the newly-erected pre- mises next Barnes Pool-bridge, in the High-street, Eton, and occupied by Mr Holderness and Mr Brown, a. college tutor. The electric fluid, having shattered the chimney, would appear to. have entered the upper rooms, and, attracted by the bell wire, to have passed out by the side of the bell handle (out. side tne house and next the door of Mr Holderness), a piec of the handsome mosaic work filling the panel between the doors having been burnt, as it; were, right off into the street. The town of Rhymney in Soutii Wales was also ï visited by a terrific thunderstorm on Saturday, and a reservoir, which is situated about two miles from the town and supplied the district with water, over- flowed. The embankment gave way, and the whole body of water rushed down. the valley, sweeping everything belore it; a farmhouse was washed away and all the farm buildings and stock. A man and tw,) children were drowned. The houses two miles distant from the reservoir ere flooded and damaged. The amount of property destroyed is considerable. From several districts in the south of Scotland come reports that thunderstorms were experienced there en Saturday. They were not, however, of un- usual violence.

(The following appeared in our Second Edition of Saturday last.) HOUSE OF LORDS.—Far DAY. THE IRISH LAND BILL BEAD A THIRD TIME. Their lordships met at five o'clock. The Salmon Act Amendment Bill passed through committee.— Earl Granville having moved the third reading of the Irish Land Bill, which underwent some criticism from the Earl of Clancarty and Lord Oranmore and Brown, and receive! the approval of the Earl of Granard, their lordships proceeded to consider various amendments, of which notice had been given. Several verbal amendments hav- ing been made, and clause 14 having, on the motion of Earl Granville, been omitted, and a clause rendering eviction in certain specified cases, not disturbance of holding, having been inserted in lieu thereof, the remaining amendment1 were gone through, and the bill was read a third time and passed.—The Wages Attachment Aboli- tion Bill, and the Protection of Invention Bill, were read a third time and passed, and the house adjourned at eight o'clock. HOUSE OF COMMONS.—FRIDAY. The Speaker took the chair at two o clock.— Mr Lambert gave notice of his intention to move, on going into committee of supply, that the salary of the First Lord of the Treasury should be increased from £5,000 to £ 8,000.—The house went into committee on the Elementary Education Bill, and a resolution was agreed to authorising an additional grant. Mr Dixon intimated that he should oppose any increase of the grant for denominational schools. Clauses 58 to 64 were agreed to. Upon clause 65, which relates to the ttendance of the children at school, Sir T. Bazley moved an amendment, the object of which was to render the attendance of the children at school compulsory. The amendment was opposed by Mr Liddell. Mr Pease, Lord R. Montague, and Mr Leatham, and supported by Mr Mundella. Mr W. E. Forster admitted that compulsion to som3 extent was necessary. There were three courses open-either to make compulsion universal, to throw the whole responsibility upon thp. Education Department, or to leave it optional with the district to try the experiment. The Government thought that for the present, seeing that adequate school provision could not be made for two years, the third course was the best. After a considerable debate, the committee divided on the question that the word may" should be substituted for the word shall" in Sir T. Bazley's amendment; this was carried by 259 against 92. Sir T. Bazley's amendment was then put, and negatived without a division. Mr Mundella then raised the direct question by moving in the clause itself the inser- tion of shall" for -1 may." Upon a division this amendment was rejected by 230 against 92.-The sitting was suspended at 6.56.-The House resumed at nine o'clock.—Mr W. H. Smith moved an ad- dress to the crown praying that no public buildings be erected on that portion of the Thames Embankment reserved to the Crown, but reclaimed at the cost of the Metropolis.— Lord Enfield seconded the motion. The Chancel- lor of the Exchequer opposed the motion, pointing out that under the Thames Embankment Act the Crown resigned its valuable frontages and rights to the foreshore, and received 2! acres of land in re- turn, which land is held absolutely in trust for public purposes. The Metropolis received great benefits and now wished to repudiate the payment. After some discussion the motion was carried.

Dr. Leslie, Bishop of Kilmore, died suddenly this morning. At Sydenham Junction, on the London, Brigh- toD, and South Coast Railway, to-day, the train from Crystal Palace ran into a train from West Croydon. The guard of the former was seriously injured, but 'ew of the passengers were slightly hurt.

THE SENSATION FIGHT IN HYDE PARK. ] The recent fracas in Rotten Row between two retired officers of the Indian army, reported in another page, formed the subj ect of a magisterial investigation on Thursday, at Marlborough-sireet. The complainant Major Robert Gordon, of 32, Clarges-street, summoned Major F. C. Kane, of 16, Piccadilly, for having assaulted him. Th • dispute had its origin in the accidental spilling c' some wine over a lady's dress at a supper attended by the complainant and defendant. Counsel for the latter now suggested that the affair should be remitted to a military tribunal, but to this the magistrates declined to accede. The case was therefore sent to the sessions for trial, the defen- dants bail in 910 and one surety in 25 have been accepted for nis appearance. 40.

Mr Chunder Sen, the distinguished Indian mis- sionary to this country, is far from well. He has lately been staying at Liverpool, in the hope of re- cruiting his strength. His health, however, is so far from satisfactory that he has returned to Lon- don, and abandoned his idea of visiting Leeds and Edinburgh. Mr Sen hopes to visit the North on some future occasion. The Jewish abduction case is not yet finished. Mr Lyons, the father of the girl, has determined to bring the case before the Court of Appeal. He considers that the strong expressions used by Justices Blackburn and Mellor, in delivering judgment last week, render it impossible for him to avoid taking criminal proceedings against the Rev. Nathaniel Thomas and his wife. The Peabody statute is now complete. The memorial to this distinguished philantrophist is placed ih the City, in proximity to the Exchange the statute representing Mr Peabody sitting in a chair. The cest has been £ 3,700. Though we have happily passed through the classic style of statuary, as applied to modern celebrities, yet, j udgirg from this statute, there is a fear of our falling into the commonplace. As a rule, our memorials to public characters should be judged rather by their cost than by their value as works of art. WEAVER'S DEFENCE. Richard Weaver has framed a circular regarding the late case with which his name was connected. He says—"It is not for me to try to justify myself. I am God's servant; Christ Jesus is my Master, and my repu- tation is with Him, not with man. The woman made Joseph's garment a witness against him, and this poor girl has made the same of my kindness. Let me beg an interest in all Christians' prayers at this time of trill, for my dear wife, who is belied with myself, and for our five children, that God may bless us. There is a cloud of gloom over our home at the present time, that for 17 years has been one of the happiest homes in this world but I the sun will shine again, and sorrow and sadness will flee away. Joy will return. My wife and my- self have still the qniet calm of Christ's presence I with us. I leave my case in the hands of I God, only crying, Plef d thou my cause, 0 Lord. Miss RYE ON HER MISSION—On Thursday last the Prussian steamship sailed for Quebec and Montreal, having on board, in addition to her usual freight, 120 children, whom the inde- fatigable Miss Rye is conveying to homes in the far West. There are amongst the little girls 50 from Liverpool, 15 from Bristol, 11 from Chi- chester, 2 from Cheltenham, 10 from Holborn, London, &c. There are also 17 grown women, 10 boys, 3 governesses, and 1 matron. The children are principally about twelve years cf age, some more and some less. They are disposed in a separate compartment in the after part! of the ship immediately under the saloon, their births ranged each side, leaving a space in the middle for meals and as a sitting place. A remarkable cir- cumstance is that forty of the children are already engaged as helps in Canadian families, their re- ferences having been sent forward through a friend of Miss Rye's, and approved of. Several mem- bers of the Liverpool Select Vestry were on board, to thank Miss Rya and bid the young passengers God speed. Amongst those going oat to Canada i. with Miss Rye are an infant family, who kept house for themselves in Bermoadsey, London. 1_- They consist or a boy of 16, another 12, a girl of I 14, and a baby of four months old. They had been all subsisting on the earnings of one member, who had 4s a week for opening and shutting the door of a small draper's sho p. How T.F. MAINE LIQUOR. LAW IS EVADED.—We believe that it would be a mistake if the Legisla- ture were to sanction absolute instead of permissive prohibition. Wherever the Maine Liquor Law has been tiied it has been evaded. To the initiated there is no more difficulty in getting wine, spirits, or beer in the American States which have adopted it than if the law did not exist. The modus oper andi is extremely simple. Mr Sala has described it with his usual lucidity. You do not ask for brandy or whisky, he says-you inquire about the health of "the baby." This is perfectly under- stood. You are shown into a room, where baby" takes any liquid form you may be in need of; and, when you are satisfied, you do not pay for a pint of sherry or a bottle of claret, but you leave so many cents or dollars to buy it" a eoral. This may be a playful way of illustrating how the law is evaded but we have no reason to doubt that if Sir Wilfrid Lawson's Bill were carried it would no be wortAa the paper it is printed on as a means of prevout; na the use of intoxicating liquors.—J&owmil • 0

FUN FOR THE FAMILY. "All flesh is grass" sighed Spodgers, after dinner one day, and immediately added Of all grass give me a plump grass wi dow. A public speaker should never lose sight of the thread of his discourse; like a bnsy needle, he al- ways should have the thread in bis eye. A draper's assistant, in recommending a dress piece to a lady, said, "Madam, it will wear for ever, and make a petticoat afterwards." An old lady, being asked to subscribe for a news- paper, declined, on the ground that when she wanted news she manufactured it herself. At a recent railroad celebration in America, the following sentiment was given; — Our mothers, the only faithful tenders who never mis- placed a switch." A moral deb ting society out west is engaged in a discussion on the following question :—" If a man deserts his wife, which is the most abandoned, the man or the woman ?" A Scotchman asked an Irishman, Why are far- things coined in England?" Pat's answer was, "To give Scotchmen an opportunity of subscribing to charitable institutions." A dog who had lost the whole of her interesting family was seen trying to poke a piece of crape through the handle of the door of a sausage shop in Rochester the other day. A student at a veterinary college being asked, "If a broken-winded horse were brought to you, what would you advise?" promptly replied, "To sell him as soon as possible." A story is told of a young man in Freeport, Illinoisr who was crossed in love, and attempted suicide recently by taking a dose of yeast powder. He irr aediately rose above his troubles. A lawyer, engaged in a case, tormented a wit- ness so much with questions that the poor fellow at last cried for water. 1, There," said the judge, I thought you'd pump him dry." Captain O'Mackeby, passing through a field of cattle, said to-a friend, Whenever you see a herd of cows all lying down, and oue of them only standing up, that one is sure to be the bull." At a public school, where the boys had to wear uniforms, the master informed a little urchin that his jacket was too short. He replied that it would be long enough before he got another." A conceited man, who had built a small house in a sequestered part of his grounds for private study, showed it to a friend, remarking, Here I sit reading from morning till night, and nobody a bit the wiser." Little three-year-old Senie was playing very roughly with her kitten-carrying it by the tail. Her mother told her that she would hurt pussey. Why, no I won't," said she, "I'm carrying her by the handle." A Yankee proposes to build an establishment which he may drive a sheep in at one end, and have it come out ac the other as four quarters of mutton, a felt hat, a pair of drawers, a leather apron, and a quarto dictionary. MEDICAL STUDENT'S EXAMINATION.—Do wounds heal by the first intention ?-Not when the patient is rich and the doctor is poor. When does mor' fication ensne?—When you pop the question, and are answered No." At the Bolton Ceunty Police Court, on Thurs- day, John Hulme, a young man, was fined 2s 6d and costs, for catting short the hair of a little boy, named Wallwork, aged 5, against whose father the defendant had a grudge. The late Daniel O'Connell once met a conceited literary friend, and exclaimed, I saw a capital thing in your last pamphlet."— Did you ?" eagerly replied his delighted listener, what was it ?" A pound of butter." A Spanish gentleman, studying English, being at a tea party, and desiring to be helped to some sliced tongue, and in doubt as to the term, hesita- ted a moment, and then said, I will thank y i miss, to pass me that languaJ." A, yoong laey, after reading attentively the litt'<, of a novel ef led The Last Man," exclaimed, Bless me, if such a thing were to happen, what would become uf the women ?" We think a more pertinen nquiry is what would become of the poor man Herr Ehlert relates that, entering Rome lately, a custom-house-officer seized the Italian news- papers in which his boots were wrapped, and told him that no newspapers but Roman might be used for that purpose. Quite right," Herr Ehlert ex- claimed The Roman papersare just fit for it." A stupid fellow tried to annoy a popular preacher by asking him whether the fatted ca'f of the par- able was male or female. Female, to be sure," was the reply, for I see the male," looking his questioner full in the face, "yet alive in the flesh before me." A country schoolmaster, happening to be reading of the enrious skin of the elephant, Did you ever see an elephant's skin?" he then asked. "I have," shouted a 'i:tle six-year old at the foot of the class, Where ?" he asked, quite amused at the boy,s earnestn s. On the elephant!" was the reply, .with a most provoking grin.— £ mzrican Paper. WHIXING IN PRAVEH.—A curate who adopted a monotonous whine in his prayers, on being re- monstrated with by his diocesan, pleaded that such a tone was proper to acts of supplication, because beggars always assumed a whine when they asked for alms. The bishop replied, Yes; but when they do, I always know that they are impostors, and give nothing." AN ENGINEER'S PRESCRIMON.-When the last Conway tube was being raised, the following col- loquy took place between Mr Stephenson and another distinguished engineer:—Mr Stephenson Hallo what is the matter with you, Mr ? you seem out of sorts. Mr I am a martyr to a periodical nervous headache, and must go up to town to be cupped." Mr Stephenson Cupped pooh nonsense lessen the supplies- eat less at meals it is always better to damp the fire than blow off steam." A friend in the country apologised to Foote, the comic ac'or, for not keeping an appointment, by exclaiming that he bad been at the funeral of a deceased attorney of his acquaintance. What!" says Foote, do you bury attorneys down here ?" Why, certainly," said his friend what do you do with them in London When an attorney is dead," replied Foote, with great solemnity, we lay him out and leave the body all aloae by itself in a room, with the door locked and the window wide open and when we go in in the morning he is always gone." But what becomes of him ? Who carries him away "Don't know, but there is invariably a strong smell of brimstone in the room." A CRUEL RETORT. — A witticism by a dis- tinguishad member of the bar, Sergeant B-, is going the rounds of the clubs. Sergeant B- and Sergeant M- met recently in the robing room of Westminster, when the latter bitterly complained of the amount of work with which he was sadded, declaring that it was killing him. Why, then, saiclB-, do you %vork so hard ? Give up some of your practice you have made a lot of money, you know." Yes," replied :1-- but I have got into a groove, and cannot get out of it." A groove!" retorted B-; 11 Yes, i a groove of love of money. But remember, -M, you cannot take your money with you) when you die,, and if you could, in your case ii would be useless, for it would: be melted in a minute or two." Turner, the painter, met at a dinner of artist3 a person who had published some poems of his own composition, which, being very poor, soon became a drag in the shops. With a view of insulting Turner, this man proposed the toast of "The Painter and Glaziers of Britain." With all my heart," said Turner, bet you have forgot the paper stainers. The Rev. Mr Johnstone was one of those rough but quaint preachers of the former generation who were fond of visiting and good liiung. While seated at the table of a good lady in the neighbour- ing parish, she asked him if he toak milk in his tea. Yes, ma'am, tMcn. I can't get cream," was the ready reply. I A good story is told of Baron Plait, who, when once visiting a penal institution, inspected the treadmill with the rest, and, beiug practically dis- posed, the learned judge philanthropically trusted himself on the treadmill, desiring the warder to set it in motion. The machine was accordingly adjusted, and his lordship began to lift his feet. In a few minutes, however, he had had ijuite enough of it, and called to be released, bat this was not so easy. "Please, my lord," said the man, yon can't get off. It's set for 20, minutes that's tbo shortest time we can make it go." So the judge was in durance until his term" expired. The locale of the following story is unknown, but it is told of a weaver who, after enjoying his potations pursued his way homeward through the ohurchyard, his vision and walking somewhat impaired. As he proceeded, be diverged from the path, and unexpectedly stumbled into a partially made grave. Stunned for a while, he lay in wonder at his descent, and after some time he got oo*„, but he had not proceeded much further when K similar accident befel him. At this second fall I he was heard, in a tone of wonder and surprise, to utter the following exclamation, at what he con- I sidered the untenanted graves, hAy t ir ye a'up aa'awa?" < It is said that Mr Charles Dickins, jon., has declined to sell the MS. of Edwin Drood » for £ 2,000. The offer was made by a nobleman. A story is told of a good woman from Botlev who visited the place in London where it was said chickens were hatched and reared withoat hens. She was shown some drawers lined with cotton where the eggs were kept warm with artificial heat. Turning away with great disgust, she ex- claimed, Is that aUo-hatching chickens out of eggs ? Who could not hatch chickens out of uggs ? We do it every day in Hampshire." There was sojiething very striking in the homely, quaint, and severe expressions ou religious subjects which marked the old-fashioned piety of per ons shadowed forth in Sir Walter Scott's Davie Deans." We may add to the rebuke of the shepherd of Bonaly, of Lord Rntberfurd's re- mark about the east wind, his answer to Lord Cockburn, the proprietor of BonrJy. He wag sitting on the hill-side with the shepherd, and ob. serving the sheep reposing in the col lest situa- tion, he observed to him, John, if I were a sheep, I would lie on the other side of the hill The shepherd answered, "Ay, my lord, but if ve had been a sheep, ye would hae had mair sense. One Sunday, within the last 100 yea. the service had commenced in a country chuich, a few miles frjm Penrith, when in walked a woman ia a grey cloak, accompanied by two bulf-grown urchins, with eyes and mouths both fearfully agapeJ and the trio took their seats in I modes: y next the door. By and by the clergy!J gave out his text —" Jesus I know, and Paul I know, but who are ye ?" The grey cloak was agitated. The ti-xt was energetically repeated, and tha minister's eye seemed cast towards the party seated behind the door. Our friend in grey stood up, and with the voice of a Shepherdess on a Wesimorelaud fell" replied to this pointed question—" Pioa.se sur, I'se Petty Jones, o' Wetsleddale, an' this it. our Bob an' our Peggy, an' we'se ga'an to Penrith to see our Nancy, an' we thowt we'd just come in an' see what ye war macken, and git a rust."
