HOME & FOREIGN CHIT-CHAT. Fifty vessels are said to be held fast in an ice- field off the coast of Cape Breton. The Grand Trunk Railway Station and sheds at Quebec, Canada, were burnt down on Friday. Twenty lives were lost by fire in a Swedish village, where the poorhouse was ignited by lightning. The Mansion House fund for the relief of the persecuted Jews in Russia now amounts to nearly £ 80,000. On Monday morning upwards of 7000 officers and men of battalions of militia went into camp for 28 days' training. On Monday, the season commenced at Rhyl, and was inaugurated by the first appearance of the promenade band. General Garibaldi died at Caprera, at half-past six o'clock on Friday evening. He was born at Nice on July 22nd, 1807, A favourable report of the progress of the works at Vyrnwy was given at the meeting of the Liver- pool Water Committee on Monday. A handsome carved oak lectern has been presented to Gwyddelwern church by a lady and gentleman who do not wish their names to be known. Lieutenant Luckroft, of her Majesty's ship Cormorant, has been killed in an engagement with a party of South Sea natives, near Espiritu Santo. Mr. Webster has accepted the lieutenancy of the volunteer corps in course of formation at Conway. It is not yet decided who is to have the command. Princess Louise has arrived at Quebec, where she has been received by the Marquis of Lome. Enthu- siastic crowds met to cheer her Royal Highness on her arrival. We learn that the Rev. M. O.

The Princess of Wales on Monday unveiled, in Trinity Church, Windsor, a window memorialising the escape of her Majesty from assassination on the 2nd March last. On Saturday night as seven boys were rowing in a boat on Penrhyn river, near Plymouth, it suddenly filled and sank. One of the lads was drowned, the others narrowly escaped. The approaching Wimbledon meeting will open on the 10th July. On Monday a body of marines took up position on the common, and began to erect the necessary buildings. The first exhibition of the Royal Cambrian Academy of Art will be opened on Tuesday, June 20th, in the temporary gallery of the academy, Mostyn-Street, Llandudno. A goat and carriage has, this week, for the first time possibly, been introduced into the town of Rhyl. It is, of course, intended to carry small children, The goat is evidently well trained. The abundant moisture so urgently required by the crops after the arid easterly winds and hot sun- shine of last week has fallen, and the prospects of farmers have already considerably brightened. A strike of iron and steel workers is announced from New York. It extends over a large area, and some 50,000 men are out of employment in conse- quence. The struggle will be a long one, it is expected. On Wednesday week, James Longman was found in Travalgar-square, London, foaming at the mouth and barking like a dog. He was taken to Poland- street Workhouse, and it was found that he was suffering from advanced hydrophobia. The election expenses of Mr. Sorton-Parry, the independent Liberal candidate for the Carnarvon Boroughs, were issued on Monday night, the total being £1841 Os. 3d. The return of Mr. Jones-Parry, M.P., was made last week at £15HJ 7s. Id. On Wednesday evening, a London waterside labourer,named Sullivan,went home intoxicated,and on his wife remonstrating with him for his condition he threw a bar of iron at her with such force as to shatter her temple bones and deprive her of life. The annual temperance sermon was preached in Westminster Abbey on Sunday night by the Dean of Bangor, in the presence of an immense congre- gation. The dean delivered an impassioned sermon on Isaiah vi., verse 5—"Thine eyes has seen the King." So you enjoyed your visit to the Zoological Gardens, did you ? inquired a young man of his adored one's little sister. Oh, yes And, do you know, we saw a camel there that screwed its mouth and eyes around awfully and sister said it looked exactly like you when you are reciting poetry at evening parties." A family of gipsies named Lee-four men and two women-were remanded at the Mold police court on Saturday, on a charge of stealing £ 84 from Mr. W. Roberts, a cattle dealer, when on his way home from Chester fair on Thursday night week. Mr. Roberts was attacked from behind, and thrown to the ground. On the charge of murdering his wife and child, Matthew Jackson was committed by the Skipton magistrates, on Saturday, for trial at the assizes. On the 25th of April the prisoner went for a walk with his wife and child, and shortly after all three were found lying in a field with their throats cut. The wife and child were dead. Meissonier's famous picture of Napoleon I. in the Campaign of Paris, measuring about ten inches by eight, was sold at Christie's, on Saturday, for 5,800 guineas-about £ 70 per square inch-to Mr. Wallis, of the French Gallery, who represented an American buyer. He was ready, if necessary, to pay no less a sum than 10,000 guineas for it. The Prince of Wales has telegraphed from Great Yarmouth to the Mayor of Leicester as follows :— Having seen in the newspaper that the man who ran up to our carriage has been imprisoned with hard labour, I sincerely hope you will remit the remainder of the sentence at my special wish, in wloich the Princess fully concurs." The man has been released. Mr. J. H. Tuke, who has recently been visiting the West of Ireland, states, in a letter to Mr. Vere Foster, that he has completed his work, having assisted the emigration of 1,060 persons, almost all in families, and chiefly from Connemara, at a cost of £ 7,000. Mr. Tuke has further sent to Mr. Foster £ 130 as a contribution from his committee to the I Female Emigration Fund, together with £ 100 from himself. Mr. Bright opened the new Central Free Library Buildings at Birmingham on Thursday week. These have been built to replace those destroyed by fire some years ago. In his inaugural address the Right Hon. the Chancellor of the Duchy of Lan- caster dwelt at length on the love of books, holding that that love was like a personal introduction to the great and good men of all past times. Mr. Bright preferred books to all they could give him of the decorations which even the highest art could afford. Mr. Alfred Cooper, an elderly gentleman, travel- ling for the benefit of his health from Croydon to Bettws-y-Coed, North Wales, was seized with illness on leaving Chester by the newspaper express on Tuesday morning, and died before reaching Connah's Quay, the first station out of Chester. Mrs. Cooper, who accompanied her husband, had the express stopped, and the body was taken to Connah's Quay, where an inquest was held and an open verdict was returned. It was removed to London,for burial, on Wednesday. On Monday week, an inquest was held before Dr. Hall, at the house of Mr. Jones, Staylittle. in the parish of Trefeglwys, on the body of Mary Jones, a domestic servant, who is supposed to have com- mitted suicide through having been deceived by her lover. The case has created a painful interest in Llanidloes and neighbourhood, where the deceased had held situations during the last few years. Her body was found in the river Clywedog a few days ago, under circumstances which cause mystery to surround the manner by which she came to her death. The well-known London firm of Dimecq and Co., extensive shippers of Spanish wines, have been defrauded of £ 2000 by two Spaniards of gentlemanly appearance, who presented to them what purported to be a letter of credit to that amount issued in the ordinary course of business in Cadiz. Believing the letter to be authentic, Messrs. Dimecq and Co. gave a cheque on the sum stated on their bankers, and they did not discover that it was a forgery till after the swindlers had cashed the cheque and returned to Spain, where it is doubtful if they can be reached by English justice for such an offence. A bobby who walked on his beat, Was tortured with Corns on his feet; He used Alleoek's Plaster to make him go faster: He's now well—locomotion's a treat. ALLCOCK'S CORN PLASTERS are now admitted by tens of thousands to be the best cure for corns ever made. They allay the pain of the worst corn as if by magic, and the tightest boots can be worn with ease. I (1084e)
