THE ESTABLISHED CHURCH. THE Bishop of St. Alban's has formed a committee for Capitular organisation. ON Monday the new church at Borth was consecrated by the Bishop of St. David's, who was one of the preachers. Two meetings of Churchmen who prefer to keep the Prayer-book as it is will be held in London, on Thurs- day, November 13, at Exeter Hall, and St. James's Hall. A CONFERENCE of Churchmen will be held in London in the first week in November, touching the duty of Churchmen at the approaching School Board elections, and with regard to the working and management of the School Board system. THE Colonial Bishoprics Fund and the Society for the I Promotion of Christian Knowledge have promised j £2,500 towards the endowment of the new Bishopric of Caledonia, in British Columbia. For the endowment of the Bishopric of New Westminster £7,050 has been promised. THE BISHOP OF BEDFORD.—A great congregation assembled in Whittington Church on Sunday evening to listen to the last sermon preached by the Bishop of Bedford before his departure from the parish. The right rev. preacher took as his text the words—"Being confident of this very thing, that He which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ." THE CHURCH MISSIONARY SOCIETY.—The Arch- bishop of Canterbury, speaking at the fiftieth annual, meeting of the Dover branch of this Society, remarked | t upon the importance of the work in which the organisa- tion is engaged, pointing out that one great difficulty t which attended the progress of that work was the pro- ( viding of suitable missionaries. Proof of this was given in the fact that out of fifty persons who applied to be [ appointed as missionaries a very small proportion had been selected as really fitted for the work. THE CHANCELLOR OF THE EXCHEQUER AND THE C CHURCH.—Sir S. Northcote, who is Lord of the Manor ( of Iddesleigh, North Devon, attended the re-opening, on Tuesday, of the parish church, which has been partly 1 restored at a cost of fifteen hundred pounds. In connec- tion with the ceremony there was a public dinner, at which he presided. In responding to the toast of his health, the right hon. gentleman referred to the position c of the Church of England. He pointed out that not- Pj withstanding the abolition of church rates, and other great changes which have taken place of late years, the J religious spirit of the nation survived, and that the j Church still flourished, and would continue to flourish ( as long as that spirit kept up. His belief was that it was now more than ever likely that the spirit of the c Church of England would be maintained by the willing offerings of her own people. ( DEATH OF BISHOP BARING.—Dr, Charles Baring, ] the ex-bishop of Durham, died on Tuesday at Wimbledon, where he had resided since his resignation c of the see of Durham, in December last year. Dr. Baring, who was a younger son of the late Sir. T. ) Baring, Bart., was born in 1807. At Oxford he took a double first in 1829. He was consecrated Bishop of Gloucester and Bristol in 1856, on the death of Dr. Monk and thence, on the death of Dr. Villiers, in ( 1861, he was translated to the see of Durham, a position J the most dignified in the Church of England after the c archbishoprics and the diocese of London. Dr. Baring ] was visitor of the University of Durham, and chaplain in ordinary to the Queen from 1848 to 1856. He was a select preacher in 1845 and 1852. The deceased was an uncompromising evangelical. On one occasion, when his disposition to check innovation raised some clamour, a large number of the most influential laymen in his diocese united in presenting him with an address expres- ( sive of their high sense of the wisdom, piety, and assi- s duity with which he discharged the duties of his episco- s pate. In 1877 another address was presented to him by t 160 of the leading laity of his diocese, including the, Duke of Northumberland, Earl Percy, the Marquis of I Londonderry, Earl Grey, Lord Decies, and Sir George £ Grey. He was invited by them to sit for his portrait, 1 which was to be placed in Auckland Castle as "a memorial of a prelate whose usefulness in his day and generation has been surpassed by none." This intended honour was, however, declined. The magnitude of the labours of Dr. Baring during his 17 years' administra- tion of the see of Durham may be gathered from the facts hereafter mentioned. In the matter of church extension, he caused to be erected 119 new churches, at a cost of £363,830, and affording accommodation for 40,530 worshippers. Besides these, 129 churches were enlarged and restored at an expenditure of £179,870, and a further outlay was incurred of £18,534 for burial grounds. Not content with securing increased church accommodation, Dr. Baring aimed at supplying, as far as it was possible, adequate clerical assistance to labour in the vast field under his supervision. With this object he formed new parishes, the clergy were increased g by 136, and 352 deacons were ordained. No fewer than t 183 schools for elementary education were erected or enlarged in the diocese during Dr. Baring's episcopacy, at a cost of £137,831.

WEST OF ENGLAND BANK PROSECUTION. — In the West of England Bank prosecution, the magistrates gave their decision on Friday. They committed the defendants, only upon the charges of issuing and publish- ing fraudulent balance sheets and reports in January, 1877, and January, 1878. On the charges, therefore, of publishing balance sheets, knowing them to be frau- dulent, the whole of the defendants were sent to the assizes. Bail was accepted, each prisoner in £1,000 and a surety of £1,000 each. FIRST LORD OF THE ADMIRALTY AND EDUCATION.— Mr. W. H. Smith, speaking on Saturday at the opening of a new voluntary School at Henley-on-Thames, com- mended voluntary efforts in the matter of education as opposed to compulsory ones. He said our aim in educa- ting the youth of the country ought rather to be directed to enable them to perform their natural duties in the vigour of life, than to raise them out of their own social groove. He deprecated the teaching of many subjects. considering such a system the enemy of thoroughness, which ought to be the end of all instruction. CONFESSION OF MURDER.—The man Jonathan Geyden, who stands charged on his own confession with the murder of Miss Mary White, at Chingford Hatch, twenty-two years ago, was finally examined before the Essex County magistrates on Tuesday last. As a number of the witnesses who gave evidence at the inquest on the murdered woman had since died, the Coroner was called, and produced their depositions, which were read. They showed that the prisoner, who had then but just completed a term of imprisonment for horse stealing, was seen loitering about the premises where the deceased resided shortly before the crime was committed. A knife which had been used in cutting the woman's throat was also mentioned, and this was produced and identified as the property of the prisoner. Upon being asked by the Chairman of the Bench of Magistrates whether he had anything to say in his Magistrates whether he had anything to say in his defence, the prisoner replied "nothing." He was then committed to take his trial at the next sessions of the Central Criminal Court.

THE AFGHAN REVOLT. t f THE ATTACK OX THE RESIDENCY. I A long and interesting telegram has been received t it the India Office, giving a full account of the t 3abul massacre, by Taimur, the survivor. He says the soldiers were dissatisfied at not receiving their pay, and S shouted "Let us kill the envoy, and then the Ameer." 1 They rushed into the court yard of the Residency, and i stoned some servants. The guides opened fire without t orders. The mutineers went for firearms, and returned to the attack. The city people joined the mutineers. 3ir Louis Cavagnari was struck by a richochet bullet. ( A sowar was sent to the Ameer, but was taken prisoner. The Guides sowar grass-cutters are in Cabul, in safety, t There are no troops on the Cabul road, nor in Jellalabad c rr Dakka, nor as far as Taimur knows are any coming. Doad Shah did his best to stop the mutiny. He was stoned and bayoneted, but was alive when Taimur left. On the afternoon of the attack, Sardar Yahya and I Mustaffa Habibulla also tried to stop the disturbance, but were fired at, and forced to retire. i A sowar belonging to the Corps of Guides, named c Taimur, who was present at the attack on the British i Residency at Cabul on the 3rd inst. and subsequently escaped, arrived at Lundi Kotal on Tuesday morning. v He brings the following further particulars respecting s the massacre of Sir Louis Cavagnari and the other: c members of the British Embassy The roof of the < Residency being commanded by other houses was un- f tenable, and the besieged made a trench outside, About one p.m., Sir L. Cavagnari was severely wounded s by a ball, which ricochetted on to his forehead. Mr. Jenkyns, who arrived at the residency during the i attack, wrote a letter to the Ameer asking for help. ( The reply received was, "God will; I am making 1 arrangements." Previous request for aid by Sir L. Cavagnari had received a similar reply. The sowar was told that Lieutenant Hamilton shot three of the mutineers with his revolver, and killed two I with his sword. He also heard that Dr. Kelly was ( lying dead inside the Residency, and that Sir Louis Cavagnari was in the room which was burnt, and which subsequently fell in. His body had not been found, and] the other three officers of the guides were burnt to death. 1 near the Residency. Another sowar, who had escaped, ( was in Cabul, but was prevented from leaving. He told f Taimur that the grass-cutters were in safety, that he i had helped Dr. Kelly when wounded, and that Mr. Jenkyns had written a second time to the Ameer, stating that Sir Louis Cavagnari was wounded. The 1 bearer of the letter was cut to pieces by the mutineers, J Taimur then started, but was disarmed, and placed in confinement. He succeeded, however, in escaping, and at daybreak of the 1th September, he visited the 1 Residency and saw the body of Lieutenant Hamilton lying across a mountain gun, stripped of his jacket, but not dishonoured. Mr. Jenkyns was with Yahyah Khan, 1 Taimur saw no troops on the road from Cabul to Jellalabad and Dakka, and, as far as he knew, none 1 were coming. An eye witness of the attack upon the Residency j states that the assault commenced at one o'clock in the day, but at eight in the morning Major Cavagnari received information which led him to believe that a rising was intended. The defence was heroic—4.000 men attacking 70. The mutineers brought up artillery and used it against the Residency. Most of the de- fenders were shot down: the Envoy himself was stabbed. The bodies have all been mutilated. The ] Afghan loss exceeded 300. The Ameer had other troops > who remained faithful to him, but he made no efforts whatever to interfere. A Bengal Moollah bitterly re- proached him for permitting the sacred person of an ( Ambassador to be injured, and begged him to endeavour to save him, as his death would be for ever a dishonour to his name. The Ameer, however, intimidated by the fanatical native Moollahs, did nothing whatever. A Cabul messenger arrived at the Shaturgadan states that Major Cavagnari, was warned of the approaching attack, and made some preparations for defence. The mutineers used heavy guns in their attack upon the Mission. The Ameer wished to protoct the Mission, but was intimidated by the Moollahs. He begged the mutineers in vain for the lives of the Envoy and his companions. The following despatch has been received at the India Office :— FROM THE VICEROY, SEPT. 16. "Following from Kandahar, Sept. 15:—'Private letters from Cabul state three regiments only engaged in attack on Residency that the affair was apparently unpremediated, having arisen from disappointment of these three regiments at getting one month's pay only, and that no serious attempt at relief was made beyond preventing other troops taking part.' The Ameer, Yakoob Khan, has sent another letter to Ali Khel, again expressing his confidence in the British Government, and his deep grief and distress on account of recent events. He announces his intention to punish the offenders. The Paris correspondent of the Standard says:—"The French believe that two big wars are inevitable, between England and Russia for supremacy of Central Asia and between Russia and Germany for military supremacy in Europe. Frenchmen are singularly ignorant of England's military capabilities and resources, and, above all, they are almost ludicrously unawares of the fighting proclivities and military spirit of the English race. Even this evening the Libertt talks of the coming con- flict between Russia and England as a duel between a whale and an elephant—a stale joke of Prince Bis- marck's, which Russia would give a great deal to be able to think a reality. The position taken up by the French press is that the English are bound to take Cabul and annex it, and that operation (as to the successful performance of which, however, no doubt is entertained) must bring England into violent collision with the Russians. The tone of the Russian press is not calculated to discourage that opinion. As to the war between Russia and Germany I think it is some- what remote. But be that as it may, there is a war cloud hanging over Europe, and its influence may be clearly discerned even by the most superficial observers in France."

IRON AND COAL. BARROW-IN-FURNESS, .Monday.—There is still a firm and steady tone in the hematite pig iron trade, and makers are in receipt of orders which will keen their furnaces employed for some months to come. There is not much business doing for immediate delivery, but buyers are showing an inclination t'> place contracts for forward delivery, and sellers are secifring beSier price* ap to the end of the shipping season, which will remain] Jpen for about six weeks. Makers Lave to deliver a ) ] .arge tonnage of both pig iron and steel rails to Araerica, ihe continent and several of the colonies. The official I ralue of iron and steel has not been alteId, but makers f ire securing better prices. The immediate prospect is riore cheerful, and a fair business may be expected & luring the winter months. Iron ore and coal are c irmer. t MIDDLESBOROUGH, Tuesday.—The pig iron market >pened very strong, but was quieter before the close. Prices, however, were Is. per ton better than last week, 0 nakers asking 39s. net for No. 1, 36s. and 35s. for No. 4 0 orge. The realised prices were based on 35s. for No. 3. T Che market is advancing in sympathy with Glasgow, »nt not at such a rapid rate, and the improvement at ° Vliddlesborough is considered to be more healthy than s hat in Scotland. The usual difference between Glasgow ? md Cleveland iron is 8s. a ton, now it is 12s. 6d. Thus 11 Cleveland makers have a considerable margin to work 11 n. The American demand is maintained, bona fide a iales taking place every day almost. Finished iron )rices somewhat higher, ship plates ranging from ;5 2s. 6d. to 7s. 6d. WOLVERHAMPTON, Wednesday.—There was a little c ess eagerness to buy this afternoon, yet sales were a effected in one case for 1000 tons of pigs atfa good rise 1'1 ipon the recent minimum quotation. Cinder pigs and c few good Staffordshire pigs were unchanged. One ocal firm has orders for 10,000 tons of pigs, half at 9d. idvance on former lowest prices. Galvanised sheets vere firm. Spelter was up 5s. on the week. Purple 11 ire was dearer; its price has been doubled since American ironmasters have began to purchase it in this 1 country. Coal was cheap. t t v

AGRICULTURE. I AGRICULTURAL EDUCATION IN THEORY e AND PRACTICE. a e One of the leading topics of interest referred to from a iime to time in the public and private discussions on t igricultural affairs is that relating to education in the v ;cience and practice of agriculture, The subject has jeen brought before most of the Chambers of Agricul- t ;ure, and other societies of farmers, during the past few c real's also, several well-known professors of agricul- ;ure have continually directed attention to the subject 1 3y explaining the advantages of the scheme of education ■ecently set on foot by the Science and Art Department e if the Government. The same scheme has, moreover, |-t jeen lately explained to members of the Chambers of Agriculture by gentlemen from the Government Science 2 Department, who have been specially invited for the r mrpose, so that by this time many rural districts will t lave some idea of the ways and means for carrying out ;he arrangement. t In the present day the necessity for providing educa- j3 ;ion in agricultural science for farmers and their sons is e 'ully admitted, and it is now widely felt that the matter t las been hitherto sadly neglected. In truth, it is some- hing strange t hat so little had been done in this direc- I ion previous to the introduction of the Government f ,cheme about three years ago. Now, however, that this c jlan has happily been set going, it will give the needed t mpetus to the spread of agricultural education, so that hose already engaged, or are about to engage, in farm- j c ng may be able to combine science with practice in the levelopment of the agriculture of this kingdom. a A general idea is given as to the kind of practical g raining in scientific agriculture which will be carried iut at the local schools or classes in the country by an £ nspection of the examination papers, which comprise s luestions on agriculture, chemistry, botany, geology, t ihysiology, physical geography, natural history, 1- 'eterinary science, mensuration, surveying, book keep- v ng, drainage, soils, manures, live stock in health and lisease, also the general principles on which agriculture s based. The proper carrying out of this arrangement 1, dlllargely depend upon the committees of agricultural r ocieties, chambers of agriculture, and other such asso- J iiations, by aiding in the opening of classes in the lifferent towns and villages, wherever teachers can be x ound to conduct them. Many teachers in elementary f ichools, and other institutions, are qualifying themselves c ;0 conduct these classes, and an additional inducement 9 s held out to them by the grants of money made by the government. So recently as a few months ago, a num- )er of science teachers from various parts of the country c vent, by arrangement, to the South Kensington Schools, ] md passed through a special course of instruction in the | principles of agriculture, which qualifies them to con- luct classes and to earn the Government grants set t ipart for the purpose. As will be evident, the pro- c noters of this movement are doing practical solid work, 1 md one of national importance. The scheme is wel- I joined wherever it becomes known, and many friends of £ igriculture are at present actively engaged in promo- t ng it. t The yearly examinations of the work done in these classes are held throughout the country in the month of May under the direction of a local committee consisting I )f gentlemen living near where such classes are held. For the information of those interested in the matter who may not already know of the arrangement, it may } be summarized here. In order to obtain the benefits of 1 this scheme, and to organize local classes in the simple I md inexpensive manner set forth in the Government 1 regulations, the first step is to form A committee of at least five persons in good position, who are willing to :3.0 a little for the good of their own locality, with an 1 ictive assistant as secretary to keep the necessary ( records and correspond with the Science Department in „ London. The members of such committee have to be approved by the Department, which is mostly a matter of form. The committee has to provide a suitable room for the class, engage a teacher capable of giving instruc- tion in agricultural science, obtain the necessary ap- paratus and materials, visit the classes at intervals, tnd see that the usual regulations are carried out. The p duration of a class is usually from October to April, one I lesson each week, continued from 25 to 30 weeks. The l Science Department proYicles at half cost from the t South Kensington store, the apparatus required by any of the classes. The teachers receive the pupils' fees, and as these are merely nominal, the remuneration is supple- 1 mented by the Government grant which is dependent, on the results of the examinations. The pupils also are stimulated in their studies by the scholarships which; are offered for competition under certain conditions by the Science Department. There are two classes of people to whom this system of agricultural education will be specially beneficial both on account of its convenience and cheapness, I namely the sons of farmers who are unable to spend J much for scientific instruction, and the other class con- sists of those, having better means, yet whose occupation 1 confines them to rural districts, and who would not; otherwise have the opportunity of sharing in the advan- tages of such classes. In this way a powerful agency for good has been placed within the reach of the agri- cultural community, and of which the farmers of the United Kingdom will not be slow to avail themselves. Already the system is receiving the hearty co-operation of several societies, who see the advisibility of providing a systematic course of scientific instruction in their respective districts for farmers' sons and others intended for agricultural pursuits. It should be understood, however, that this scheme does not supersede or at all interfere with the general routine of elementary educa- tion, it is an additional branch of what is termed technical knowledge, which will enable students in agriculture to exercise more intelligence and skill in the practical carrying out of their business. Most farmers of the modern school are alive to the necessity of uniting theory with practice, which is the principle of the motto adopted by the "Royal," viz., Practice with Science;" all which is in testimony of the fact that knowledge is wealth, knowledge is power. As a further means of extending a knowledge of the principles of agriculture, it has been proposed that the subject should be taught from a suitable text book, as a branch of elementary education in the schools of the country but this proposal, although supported by some of the agricultural societies, is not yet carried out, as it must first obtain the approval of "My Lords" of. education. Douutless this proposal, which seems so feasible, will be acted upon before long by the Council on Education. In the extension of the Government scheme Scotland is in advance of other parts of the United Kingdom, as it usually is in educational matters; and our Scotch friends have the additional advantage of an University at Edinburgh, which is endowed with a chair of agricul- ture. In Ireland, also, where there are several farm schools, this system of education is being more rapidly extended than it is either in England or Wales. Agri- culture is a subject now taught in the Irish National Schools, but this desirable arrangement is still a thing to be introduced into the schools in other parts of the kingdom. In England, singularly enough, there appears to be only one school of agriculture, that at Cirencester, and one on a smaller scale at Bedford. The science schools established in that country, it is noticeable, are made use of mostly by those residing in the manufac- turing and commercial towns, from which it is inferred that those living in the rural districts are somewhat indifferent to the advantages placed within their reach. With respect to Wales it is fortunate in having the University College at Aberystwith, to which is attached an able staff of teachers, who are doing good work in extending a knowledge of agricultural science in the Principality. In addition to this Government scheme (of which fuller particulars may be obtained from the Secretary, Science and Art Department, Kensington, London), the Society of Arts also included for a few years the sub- jects of agriculture and rural economy in the techno- logical division of its system of yearly examinations. The society, however, has now transferred its branch on technology to the" City and Guilds of London In- stitute for promotion of Technical Education," by whom such examinations will in future be conducted. The programme of the several subjects for examination in 1880 may be obtained gratis from the Hon. Secretaries of the City Guilds' Institute, Mercer's Hall, London, E.L., or from_ the Secretary, Society of Arts, John- street, Adelphi, London. For several years the Society of Arts conducted examinations in horticulture, fruit "il, vegetable culture, and gardening, but in the year 1875 these subjects were discontinued owing to the want of interest taken i:i them by the public as evidenced v thi3 limited number of those who aitended the examina- tions. It is a matter for regret that this should be s,), particularly as it has come to pass that those very branches of industry are yearly becoming more indis- pensable and important. Such then, in brief, are the facilities which are now available for spreading a knowledge of the science and practice relating- to agriculture. A system having such privileges and benefits should be made known as widely is possible, and without loss of time. There is every Imson why a plan so valuable should be carried out in YL''fy market town and rural district in Great Britain j vherever practicable. On every hand, the conviction is raining ground that scientific farming will be the haraoteristic of British agriculture in the future. It is o be hoped that North Wales will not be behind in aking advantage of the scheme now referred to, as the [Strict needs a special stimulus of this kind. More- ver, there must be many aspiring agriculturists in our wn districts who will eagerly avail themselves of this deans of instruction so soon as it is provided for them. lere is an opportunity for the energy and enterprise of ur local Chambers of Agriculture and other kindred r" ocieties to take prompt action for giving the young griculturists of North Wales, the opportunity of sharing a the benefits of a scheme which is already doing so JUch good in other parts of the country in extending gricultural education in theory and practice. 13th September, 1879. When writing the above article, I intended to in- lude, but omitted to do so, one or two items of inforni- tion which may be acceptable, relating to the fees and emuneration connected with the agricultural science lasses established in any district according to the egulations of the Science and Art Department, South Kensington, London. The fees payable by each pupil at such a class depend rostly on the size uf the class, being on a higher or )wer scale in proportion to the number of students. "he amount is usually small in order to encourage in- ending students in the science of farming—say from 8s. o 12s. each for the course, extending over twenty-five reeks, or thereabouts. The teacher of such a class, irovided he holds the Government certificate of pro- iciencj* in agriculture, will, in addition to these fees, eceive from the Science Department a grant of E2 for ach pupil who passes first class in the principles of .griculture at the annual May examinations, and £ 1 for ach one who passes second class. Also in the examin- ,tion for Honours in the advanced course of agricul- ure, the teacher receives a sum of £4 for each candidate vho takes a first class, and £ 2 for a second class. In reference to the scholarships in agriculture which .re for the competition of students, the arrangement is his. The Science Departmeat, out of the funds at lommand for promoting a knowledge of science and art, lives £ 25 a year, on condition that a like sum is given )y any Farmers' Society, or is raised by voluntary sub- icriptions, in the neighbourhood where any such class s held. So that the sum of R50 may be available to 'nable any student who secures the scholarship, to ob- ain an advanced course of instruction in any agricul- ural school or college that may be decided upon. This trrangement affords to those industrious students who obtain such scholarships, an opportunity for making nore rapid and solid progress in agricultural knowledge ■ban that which can be obtained in rural districts. Any Agricultural Society or Farmers' Club may con- ribute £ 25 a year, for a few years, towards founding 1 scholarship for competition in its own locality. Local andowners also who are disposed to aid scientific :ducation in their own districts, have thus the oppor- unity of helping forward the sons of their tenants. Moreover, any well-wishers of agriculture could unite n making contributions towards such a desirable ibject. In default, however, of any support of this kind or founding scholarships, it would devolve upon Agri- ultural Societies, and Chambers of Agriculture to raise he needful money to stimulate in such an effective way he advancement of agricultural education in their own listricts. It may be that there are yet few farmers' ocieties or clubs who are aware of these advantages offered by the Government, otherwise we might reason- ,bly assume that such a desirable scheme would be more -eiiei-lly adopted than it has been hitherto. In this system (which was introduced by the Science Department in 1876) there are two courses of instruc- ion, elementary and advanced. In the elementary tage the object of each yearly examination is to ascer- ain the student's acquaintance with the elementary (rinciplcs of agriculture and in the advanced stage, the "hole range of subjects will be included with a view to est the general knowledge and excellence of candi- lates in agricultural science and farming economy. The Science and Art Department, London, make it :nown that they are desirous that classes should be ipencd in the rural districts throughout the United kingdom, not only for the tuition of general science and .rt, but also for the study of the science and principles 'elating to agricuture; and they invite teachers (both nale and female) to qualify themselves to gain a certi- icate of proficiency, so as to secure the grants payable in the results of the annual examinations. With this ibject, schoolmasters, elementary teachers, and others nterested in the m: vement, are urged to qualify them- elves with due dispatch to conduct such classes vherever practicable, so that the privileges and benefits )f the scheme may be extended to as many as possible. "n case separate teachers cannot be had for the classes proposed to be held at different places in a given dis- ;rict, arrangements could be made to form these classes nto a group, so that one teacher could proceed from one lo the other weekly until the number of teachers is in- sreased. One of the Government examiners in one of lis lectures lately announced that the Science Depart- nent would provide a teacher for any district where a ;lass of twenty scholars could be formed to study agri- ;ultural .science, so that in case there is a want of local .eachers the difficulty may be removed by appealing to :he Department in London. Seeing the privileges and benefits to be obtained from ,he scheme of education under notice, there is surely ittle more needed to induce the supporters of education md all well wishers of agriculture in this part of North iVales to take an active share in extending the system vith all convenient speed and also use their influence n encouraging teachers to extend their sphere of useful- less by qualifying themselves to conduct classes | vherever there is an opening for them.- Your", 16th September, 1879. FFESM. P.S.—In a subsequent letter I purpose writing a sum- nary of the subjects for examination in the principles )f agriculture, as required by the Science Department, md which may be acceptable to many readers of the ruardian. SWINE fever is rapidly spreading in Shropshire. The Magistrates have issued instructions on the subject. AGRICULTURAL DEPRESSION.—We are informed that :ome of the tenants of a well-known landowner in the leighbourliood of Oswestry have intimated that they liuss give up their farms unless their rents can be re- fused.—Osiocs.try Advertiser. THE HARVEST NEAR OSWESTRY.—A farmer in the leighbourhood of Oswestry, who commenced his corn ra-rvest on Tuesday, says that his crop of wheat is heavy ind of good quality, and he believes the harvest generally in his district will turn out better than is xpected. THE CORN TRADE.—The Mark Lane Exprexs says— "Although unsettled, the weather until Saturday has 3een tolerably favourable for harvesting during last iveek, and a large proportion of the wheat and barley tias been cut and carried in the southern counties. As far us can be ascertained at present, the wheat crop-is not likely to turn out better than was expected. From two md a half to three quarters per acre seems to be the average yield of wheat, but it is too early yet to form any definite opinion as to the value of this year's produce. With perhaps some reservation in favour of oats, it may be said that all spring corn crops are to a great extent failures. Pending the arrival of the new crop, supplies of old home-grown wheat have been exceedingly small both in the London and provincial market: and business has been reduced to a minimum. Last year's wheat is without change in value. A large diminution has occured in shipments from America last week. The supplies into London up to Friday last have only reached 41.1,000 quarters. The present campaign has opened with a very moderate range of prices for cereal procluce; and the attention of the tr:1lhl centres on America.

The correspondent { remarks that French journals of every possible shade 1 write now about the Germans and their tenure of Alsace in a style very different from that which pre- vailed before the French army had been re-organised. ] I RUSSIA. f TREATY BETWEEN RUSSIA AND CHINA.—The Kuldja question is, according to a telegram from the Russian i capital, settled. It is stated in St. Petersburg that a x Treaty has been concluded between Russia and China, which will have the effect of setting at rest all matters in dispute between the two countries. The terms of the Treaty are given in the telegram. 1 AUSTRALIA. REFORMATION OF THE CONSTITUTION.—An outline of chs bill to reform the constitution of Victoria, 1 so as to prevent a recurrence of the recent 6 political deadlock arising out of the disagreement 11 between the Legislative Assembly and the Legis- s dative Council, is given in a Melbourne mail des- 1 patch. Besides proposals as to the re-constitution of 2 !-he council, the bill proposes to give the Legislative Assembly absolute control over the expenditure, and ( ,he sole power to make and remit taxes. The bill also J. provides that in the event of any measure being passed c by the assembly in two consecutive sessions, and being rejected by the council, it shall be decided by a popular vote, subject to the approval of the governor. There being a deficiency in the budget, the Finance Minister proposes to cover it by raising the import tariff. When the mail was despatched the assembly was discussing the budget, its protective features being severely criticised, but no amendment had been pro- posed. The budget submitted to the Parliament of Western Australia also showed a deficit, though only imounting to which the Finance Minister pro- posed to cover by a stamp tax. j

I A meeting ot miners delegates was held at Glasgow on Tuesday, the principal speaker being Mr. Macdonald, M.P., who advised the miners to retaliate upon the masters for blowing out a third of their furnaces, by restricting the output by lOcwt. daily. This course, he observed, would withdraw from the market more coal than the masters could put in. The delegates passed a recommendation in favour of this retaliatory scheme. SOUTH YORKSHIRE COLLIERS.—The disput* at the Wharncliffe Silkstone Colliery has been terminated by the men accepting a reduction of 5 per cent. originally demanded. Several hundred workmen are affected, and they resume work on Monday. THE IRON TRADE.—Messrs. Crawshay and Sons have recommenced operations at their Perseverance Iron Mine, near Cinderford. This is the second mine re- opened by the firm during the past week, and they are rapidly reducing their stocks of pig iron. Prospects in the Forest of Dean are much brighter than they have been for a long time. THE BELGIAM IRON TRADE.—The reports from Charleroi in the Belgian journals are unanimous in representing the condition of the iron manufacture as rapidly improving in tone. In all the principal centres large contracts have recently been entered into. In Charleroi itself, a few days ago, one such contract for 12,000 tons of iron was taken, at an advance in price. The rolling works there, too, were fully engaged for several months to come, and would not accept any further orders at the old rates. If the trade continues active, an improvement in prices could hardly fail to follow. In the glass-blowing branch, too, prices con- tinue firm, and an improvement is considered probable.

FLORILINE !-FOR THE TEETH AND BREATH.—A few drops of the liquid "Floriline" sprinkled on a wet tooth-brush produces a pleasant lather, which thorouhgly cleanses the teeth from all parasites or impurities, hardens the gums, prevents tartar, stops decay, gives to the teeth a peculiar pearly-whiteness, and a delightful fragrance to the breath. It removes all unpleasant odour arising from decayed teeth or tobacco smoke. The Fragrant Eloriline," being composed in part of Honey and sweet herbs, is delicious to the tltstt and the greatest toilet discovery of the age. Price 2s. fid. of all Chemists and Perfumers.
