FROM THE PAPERS. The Queen has granted letters patent creating Truro a city. A Daily Nercs telegram from Rome says that General Grant intends to pay a visit to Garibaldi at Caprera next month. The De Tourville tragedy has been dramatised for the Berlin stage. lr. Henry Irving's next venture for the winter season is to be the part of "King Lear." One of the twins-the girl-of which Mrs. Patrick Staunton was recently delivered in Newgate prison, died on Sunday, Aug. 19. The other child is weakly. A committee of Bengal ladies has been formed for the purpose of compiling a biography of the late Miss Carpenter in the Bengali language. More than 1,000 pilgrims left Paris on Thursday night, Aug. 16, for Lourdes, together with 150 indigent sick persons, whose ex- penses had been subscribed for. A telegram from Marseilles announces that Vitalis, the murderer ol the widow Boyer, was executed on Friday morning, Aug. 17, on the Place Sebastopol, Paris. A fishmonger at Hereford, last week, displayed on his show- board the grandest salmon of the season. It weighed 501b., and was netted in the Wye, at Hoarwithy. At Liverpool, on Friday, August 17, a Welsh lad of thirteen was committed for trial for causing the death, by kicking, of an Irish boy of like age. The youngsters had disagreed on the subject of their nationalities. At Douglas, Isle of Man, on Sunday morning, August 19, Geo. Filingham Kueale, a cardriver, was stabbed in the neck, and he bled to death. Emily Hannah, a woman with whom he coha- bited, and a man and woman named Comar were arrested by the police. At the British Association meeting, on Saturday, August 18, Mr. Crogle said the Irish population of Connaught in the pre- sent day cursed the Saxons in precisely the same language used by their forefathers 1,400 years ago. The Princess of Wales has 'by her own desire, been elected a Daine Chevalier of the Order of St. John of Jerusalem," a philanthropic society presided over by the Duke of Manchester. Earl Russell celebrated on Saturday, August 18, his 85th birthday. It is 64 years sinee he first entered Parliament as member for Tavistock, and 31 since he assumed his first premiership. The restoration of Strasburg Cathedral is reported to be making satisfactory progress, and to be now approaching com- pletion. Fourteen statues of German Emperors and kings, from King Pepin down to the Emperor Henry IV., are to be added to the sculptural embellishments. Sir Henry Thompson has ("ays the World) hit on a new method of spending his holiday. He has had constructed a house-boat, charmingly fitted and furnished and in it, accom- panied by his accomplished daughter, he is about to start on a sketching tour on the Thames. Dr. Henry Schliemann's famous Trojan collection is to be exhibited in England, at the South Kensington Museum. It will include the gold and silver treasures, and on each of the objects exhibited the exact depth at which it was found will be inscribed, so that it may be seen at a glance to which of the four prehistoric cities, built one upon the other, the antiquity belongs. A statue of Queen Eleanor, wife of Edward I., has been placed in a niche on the outside of the tower of the new parish church of All Saints, Harby, just consecrated by the Bishop Suffragan of Nottingham. Queen Eleanor died close to the site of the church, in 1290, at the neighbouring house of Richard de Weston, and the statue, which is a fac-simile of that on her tomb in Westminster Abbey, is the work of Mr. Earp. It is the gift of Mr. Freeth. Mr. Bradlaugh, speaking at Bristol, on Monday, August 20th, at a meeting called to form a branch of the Malthusian League, said that, although the sale of the Fruits of Philosophy" used to be about 100 a year, since the prosecution of himself and Mrs. Besant over 130,000 copies had been sold. He stated that, if defeated in the Court of Error, he should carry the case to the Court of Appeal, and, if necessary, to the House of Lords and if beaten there he would go, to Holloway Gaol, and still continue to publish the book. A peculiar kind of industry, that of breeding maggots, has lately been tried in Paris. Over the soil were spread large quantities of stale fish, dead lobsters, odorous poultry, and other refuse of the markets, as much as half a ton of large fish being taken on the premises in a single day. The maggots, which soon became abundant, were carefully picked out and packed in casks of galvanised iron, and finally were sold for fish bait and chicken food. The remaining refuse was converted into manure. The Emperor of China has issued an edict prohibiting opium smoking throughout the country, particularly among officials, scholars, and the soldiery. The edict was issued, the China Mail says, at the instance of his Excellency Kwoh Sung Tao and bis colleague, Envoys to Great Britain. It commands generals, governors-general, and governors in the various provinces, to draw up regulations, adapted to local circumstances, for carrying out this prohibition, which is to take effect three years hence. The International Congress of Alpine Clubs has been held at Grenoble (Isere). From 400 to 500 English, Americans, French (many Parisians), Italians, and Swiss, presided over by M. Adolphe Joanne, have received the most graceful hospitality from the population and authorities of the town. At the in- augural banquet the toast of the health of Madame Caron, a lady of Paiis, rrho has just made the ascent of Mont Blanc, was received with loud applause. The day after the dinner the members formed into groups, and left for the neighbouring mountain summits. The West Derby Branch of the Liverpool Liberal Association, and the members of the Bacup Union of Liberal Associations visited Hawarden Castle, on Monday, Aug. 20, and were received by Mr. and Mrs. Gladstone and other members of the family. In response to a vote of thanks for his kindness in permitting a visit to the grounds, the right hon. gentleman made a speech, in which he referred to the necessity for an enlargement of the county franchise, and to the general aspect of political affairs Many of the late Lady Augusta Stanley's American friends have manifested a desire (the Daily New. says) to contribute to the fund which is being raised for the purpose of perpetuating that lamented lady's memory in connection with the Westmin- ster Training School and Home for Nurses. The list of American subscribers includes the names of Mr. Longfellow, Mr. Emerson, Mr. James Russell Lowell, Mr. Cyrus W. Field, Mr. George W. Childs, Mrs. Charles Francis Adams, the Governor of Massachu- setts, Mrs. Burlingame, and the Rev. Dr. Osgood. A sum of a thousand dollars has already been contributed. M. Thiers on Friday, August 17, paid a visit at Puys to M. Edmond Turquet, ex-deputy for the department of Aisne. On arriving at Puys M. Thiers met with a great ovation. A large crow,l welcomed the ex-President of the Republic with shouts of "Long live M. Thiers I" Two magnificent tricoloured bou- quets were presented to M. Thiers by two young girls wearing the Alsatian peasant costume, and a young peasant girl brought him, in the name of the inhabitants of the village, a large bou- quet of wild flowers. Another bouquet, of flowers found near the sea shore, was presented by a young sailor in the name of his comrades. On Saturday, August IS, the members of the Salford Liberal Association, to the number of between 2,000 and 3,000, visited Hawarden. At four o'clock the excursionists assembled in front the castle, and on Mr. Gladstone's making his appearance, accompanied by Mrs. Gladstone, he was greeted with the most enthusiastic cheers. Replying to a vote of thanks for throwing open his park to the excursionists, Mr. Gladstone spoke of the autumn agitation of last year as an expression of the calm and sober judgment of the people of this country upon the Eastern Question, and dwelt emphatically on the necessity of keeping a vigilant watch over our rulers lest they should yet betray the country into war on behalf of the most abominable government in Europe. He hoped we might have a quiet autumn, but, should occasion require, thcugitation of last autumn would be renewed in order to prevent our being dragged into war. At the Liverpool County Police Court on Saturday, August 18, a young man, named Frederick Morton, was summoned for neg- lecting to maintain his wife. The wife stated that they had only been marrried eight months, and she had been in the workhouse for six weeks. The defendant had told her that he had married her for fun, and that he cared more for Maud and his other beauties than he did for her. The defendant now said he had married the woman in order to prevent her committing suicide as she had threatened to do. The magistrates said that what- ever might have been his reasons for marrying the woman he had married her and must support her. The experiments with the telephone at the British Associa- tion meeting in Plymouth, on Saturday, Aug. 18, have, it seems, convinced Sir W. Thomson of the practical value of the inven- tion. He declared oral telegraphy to be already ar. accomplished fact, and expressed his opinion that circuits would be estab- lished, and separate wires laid in which the click of the Morse or the whirr of the Wheatstone instruments would never be heard, being devoted to the transmission of the human voice. Mer- chants would be summoned to the telegraph office, and be able to have confidential conversation with a distant correspondent, and it would even be possible to utter a whisper which could be heard at Land's End or the north of Scotland, and yet be unre- cognised by a friend standing by the side of the speaker. One or two incidents in Thursday's (August 16) proceedings of the centennial celebration of the battle of Bennington show that the good feeling between this country and the United States runs no danger from reminiscences of the War of Inde- pendence. The health of Queen Victoria was proposed and re- ceived with enthusiastic cheers, Mr. Evarts, one of the American ministers, paying a high tribnte of admiration and respect to the character of her Majesty. On the other hand, English good feeling was shown in a letter read at the banquet from the Earl of Dufferin, governor-general of Canada, ex- pressing his regret at not being able to take part in the celebration. A deputation of London Irishmen waited upon Mr. Butt, M.P., on Friday evening, August 17, to represent to him that the policy of Mr. Biggar and Mr. Parnell was popular among Irish- men, and to learn his views thereupon. In reply, Mr. Butt said he w ould neither lead the policy of obstruction nor have any- thing to do with it, though he was aware that the Irish in Great Britain were altogether in favour of it. He further said that the Whigs understood that they could not return to power without Ii isli aid, which they would have when they accepted Home Rule, and that when the Home Rule members numbered eighty, Parliament would not be able to resist the demand of a united nation. Whoever attempted to divide the Home Rule party would have a very serious responsibility to answer for. Mr. George Muller, of the Ashley Down Orphanage, Bristol, has just issued his annual report relative to the new orphan houses. During his prolonged absence on a preaching tour on the continent lie had received reports once or twice every week from Mr. Wright, whom he had left in charge. During the past year the Lord had been pleased, as during the previous 42 years of the existence of the institution, simply through prayer, to supply all their necessities. Altogether last year the income was £ 41,500. If this income were added to that of the previous years, it would be found that altogether, in answer to prayer and the exercise of faith, they had received zP,750,000 sterling. Mr. Muller adds that the blessing attending his preaching tours everywhere on the continent, as well asatliome, had encouraged him to go on with this service, and yielding to many urgent invitations from the United States and Canada, his next sphere of labour would be America. The county coroner for Anglesey held an inquest on Saturday, August IS, at Men;.i Bridge, touching the death of Catherine Evans, aged 16, wdio was shot dead the previous evening by William Hawkey, a coachman in the employ of Captain Morgan, Plas Cadnant. About six o'clock on Friday evening the de- ceased and another girl went with Hawkey to the garden-house at Cadnant to weigh some fruit. The deceased noticed a gun hanging from the ceiling, and, at her request, Hawkey reached it down to show how he used it. Whilst bringing it to his shoulder the left barrel went off, the oharge lodging in the head shoulder the left barrel went off, the charge lodging in the head of the deceased, who was standing three feet off in the doorway, passing clean through the brain, death being instantaneous. The gun was used for killing birds, and, when loaded, was hung on the ceiling to keep it out of the reach of children, Hawkey. it was shown, had no knowledge that it was loaded, and lie had never used it. The jury acquitted Hawkey, who had been taken into custodv, of "all blame, and returned a verdict of Accidental dentil."

ENGLAND VERSUS .FRANCE.—For generations CHOCOLATE has been imported in large quantities into this country from France. We are glad to find the tables turned at last, and that Cadburys, the makers of the well-known Cocoa Essence have opened elegant premises at 90, Faubourg, St. Honcre, Paris.—Their Cocoa Essence being perfectly genuine is a beverage far better suited to warm climates than the thick heavy compounds of Cocoa with sugar and starch generally sold.

FACTS AND FANCIES. -vv. A distinguished Southern gentleman, dining at a New York hotel, was annoyed at a negro servant continually waiting upon him, and desired him one day at dinner to retire. Excuse me, sir," said Cuffy, drawing himself up, but I'se 'sponsible for de silver." Amongst the curiosities of advertising may be noted the fol- lowing, which, at stated intervals, appears in the daily news- papers To the People of God in the final Babylon, that is in this great City, London. Awake mark well (Rev. xviii., verse 4 Jer. li., verse G), and other prophecy regarding her. Her cup is nearly full." The kind of verses that are read in a Kentucky school exhi- bition- Go, my son, and shut the shutter"— This I heard a mother utter. Shutter's shut," the boy did mutter; I can't shut it any shutter." A REGRET.-An old man had two sons, the one a minister and the other a doctor. He was very proud of them, and one day he said to a friend, Had I kent ane o' my sons was gaun to be a medical man and the ither a clergymon, I would never hae haen Jenny Cesh for their mither. A pious hen crawled into a Methodist Church in Jefferson City, Mo., the other Sunday, and laid an egg in the contribution box. While the minister was making an earnest appeal to his congre- gation for foreign missions the hen suddenly left her nest, and, presenting herself in the chancel, cackled most energetically. The deacons discovered the egg when they went forward to get the box. A French journalist has made the following very interesting computation of a journalist's travaux foreds (says Mai/fair). He says that a journalist who writes daily 200 lines, attains 6,000 lines per month, 72,000 lines per annum, and in thirty years, 2,160,000 lines. As 6,000 lines make a respectable volume, the journalist thus furnishes 12 volumes in the year, and 360 volumes during a career of SO years. If you reckon 86 letters per line, he traces in his 2,160,000 lines no less than 108 million letters. Assuming that 10 lines are one metre long, he has covered with his prose aspace of 216,000 metres, or 54 leagues. AN IRISHMAN IN SEARCH OF A WIFE.-The following adver- tisement recently appeared in an Irish paper—"Matrimony To Parents and Guardians only. A young man, in business (Dublin) for self, having made a sufficiency to render it safe (with man- a agement) to undertake the serious responsibilities of wedded life, is open to negotiate with a party whose daughter or ward (country trained) has beauty and good sense, which are the only fortune required age from 17 to 24 a recently-taken photo- graph required advertiser is a Catholic no English, Scotch, nor agents need apply." Under the head of "Parisian On Dits," the Court Journal gives the followingD wanted to get rid of his nephew, who cost him a lot of money every year. All the offers he had made him about getting mnrried had been declined under the pretext that the girls were either too young, or too old, or too bad tempered, etc. In despair, D- went to a matrimonial agent in order to have a large choice. He was of course quite welcomed by the agent, who showed him his register and photo- graphs of some of his clients. The surprise of the dear uncle is impossible to describe when he discovered his own wife's like- ness. Nearly out of his mind, he goes home and sternly de- mands an explanation. "I can't deny the fact," the wife said gently, but it was last year, my dear, when you had been given up by all the doctors." MR. PONGO."—The price paid for Pongo, the popular young gorilla at the Westminster Aquarium, by his present proprietor was three thousand guineas. Pongo may pride himself upon the fact that no specimen of the "higher ape," called man, would fetch that sum, or anything like it. We believe that even the "Two-Headed Nightingale" was originally parted with for not much more than a fifth of the sum riven for Pongo. Mr. Darwin fails to discover in the ear of Pongo the pineal knob which proves our descent from animals of arboreal habits having long ears. Probably the creature is descended from a higher original than ourselves. -Coming Events. Mr. Peacock in his Glossary of Manley and Corringham," tells the following stories:— A local preacher said all Christ'ans hes souls to be saved, whether they be white or black, and whether they says their prayers to God Almighty as Protestants do, or to idols, stijans, an' oud rs as Papists, Heathens, and Mahomet's men do. A little girl on being asked in the Kirton-in-Lindsey Sunday School what kind of a place the temple was, replied, A doctors shop, pleas m'm." On investigation, it turned out that she had recently heard read the narrative of our Lord being found in the temple, sitting in the midst of the doctors" (Luke ii. 46), and understood doctors to mean persons who practised medicine. A lady, having attemped to explain the new-birth to a class of lads at a Sunday School, asked one whether he would not like to be born again. "No," was the reply. "Why not, my boy?" inquired the teacher. 'Acos I might be born a weneh,' answered the boy.

FROM LONDON LETTERS. What will the High Church party say to Lord Beaconsfield's church patronage? It continues to be bestowed almost entirely upon their opponents. Mr. Thorold is made Bishop of Rochester, Mr. Rowley Hill is made Bishop of Sodor and Man, Mr. Fleming takes Mr. Thorold's canonry, Mr. Blakeney takes Mr. Hill's living of Sheffield, and now another Low Churchman, Mr. Falloon, takes Mr. Blakeney's. A subordinate member of the Government said lately that there was no one for whose life the High Church party should more devoutly pray than Archbishop Tait's, for, in Lord Beaconsfield's present mood, even Durham was a likely occupant of the see of Canterbury, should it fall vacant. Liverpool Mercury. The Rock mourns over the fact that Mr. Temple West has got over £2,500 in his offertory for a half-year, and laments that the High Church clergy raise so much money. Why donot the Low Church party try the weekly offertory ? Their foolish preju- dice against it deprives them of a htndsome revenue. -Liveprool Mercury. „ Mr. Osborne Morgan and the Liberal party generally believe that they will next Session carry their Burials Bill without much difficulty. Such is not the opinion of Mr. Hubbard. He will oppose that measure stoutly; and he tells his friends that though after the vote in the Upper House their cause may seem in a very bad way, it is by no means hopeless. The party of surrender won a temporary triumph because the Archbishop of Canterbury joined them but it will not be Mr. rlubbard's fault if his Grace does not find that, though he is powerful enough when he speaks in the name of the Church, he is very weak if lie sets himself against 15,000 of the clergy. Both parties, there- fore, will be sharpening their weapons during the coming winter, and agricultural dinners will be enlivened by references to the cheerful topic of burying the corpses of Dissidents."— Liverpool Mercury. The caprices of Dame Fortune are proverbial. Sir Bryan O'Loghlen, who has just been elected a member of the English Parliament, had a few weeks before been defeated when offering himself as a candidate for the Parliament of Victoria. The death of his brother changed all his prospects. He has come into pos- session of a baronetcy and an estate, and he returns from Aus. tralia to settle down in the old country. In Melbourne he has held the office of Crown Prosecutor. He is a Roman Catholic, and was educated at Oscott. Another new M.P., Mr. Watkin, is very much the reverse of that, and he is married to the daughter of the very Protestant Dean of Canterbury. Sir Baldwyn Leighton, the new member for Shropshire, I believe, belongs to the Broad Church party, and edited that most interesting biography and letters of the much-lamented Edward Denison which appeared about five years ago.-Livei-pool Mercury.

LORD NEWBOROUGH AND THE CARVARVON- SHIRE MAGISTRATES. Consequent upon the appointment of Mr. W. B. C. Jones, Criccieth, as treasurer of the county of Carnarvon, in the room of the late Mr. Picton Jones, Lord Newborough has resigned the chairmanship of the quarter sessions for that county. A special meeting of the county justices was held at the County-hall, Car- narvon, on Friday, Aug. 17, Lord Penrhyn, the Lord-Lieutenant of the shire, and other magistrates being present. Mr. Poole, the clerk of the peace, read a letter from Lord Newborough, stating that in consequence of the appointment of Mr. Jones, Criccieth, as successor to the late Mr. Picton Jones, he would no longer act as chairman of the quarter sessions. Lord Pen- rhyn addressed the meeting at considerable length, defending himself from the charges made by a writer in a contemporary that the affair was a political job." He also deprecated the way in which Lord Newborough and the local press looked upon the appointment. The Hon. G. S. D. Pennant, M.P., also ad- dressed the meeting. Oil the motion of Mr. Bulkeley Hughes, M.P., it was decided that Lord Newborough's resignation be ac- cepted. A motion by Mr. Richard Davies, M.P., that a vote of thanks be accorded to Lord Newborough for his services as chairman of the quarter sessions was abandoned, as it was held that there had been a sufficient expression of thanks to his lord- ship in the speeches delivered. The affair has caused great in- terest in the county, Lord Newborough having discharged the arduous duties connected with the office which he so long held with commendable ability and faithfulness. -0

ECCLESIASTICAL. The Bishop of Rochester, in the course of a sermon preached at St. James's, Hatcham, on Sunday, Aug. 19, referring to the conflicts which had occurred in the parish, condemned too ornate a service as being a hindrance rather than a help to spiritual life. He hoped there were no persons in the congregation ashamed of ticing termed Protestants, for if the Church of Eng- land was not a Protestant Reformed Church she was a shameful schism, and ought not to have an existence. Mr. Thomas Hedley, barrister-at-law, of Newton, Northum- berland, who died a few days ago at Newcastle, has bequeathed upwards of £ 200,000 for the endowment of a bishopric for the county of Northumberland. The deceased gentleman, who had for many years resided in Newcastle, was largely connected with collieries in the north of England. An address, sianed by ninety-six peers, has been forwarded to the Archbishop of Canterbury by Lord Abergavenny, directing his attention to the disclosures concerning The Priest in A bso- lution," expressing alarm at the introduction into the church of the practice of auricular confession, and urging his lordshlj) t" express his public condemnation of the system. Among the signatures to the address are those of the Duke of Westminster. Lord Shaftesbury, Lord Redesdale, Lord Ebury, and Lord Dudley. In acknowledging the address, the Archbishop assures their Lordships that nothing shall be wanting on his part to maintain the scriptural character of the Church, and reminds them of the recent formal statement of the Bishops of the province of Canterbury, and the pastoral letter issued by oyth provinces in March, 1875, with reference to the doctrine of the Church of England on the subject of confession. The Tablettes [d'un Speetatenr states that the total of the sums presented to the Pope by pilgrims during the Jubilee amounted to 16,470,381f. Of these, 9,190.000f. were in gold he remainder in paper money. By the wish of the Pope the money will be distributed as follows :Four millions of francs will be added to the funds of the holy chair four millions will be given to the fund for the employes, ex-employés, &c.. and their families who have remained faithful to the Pope; four millions will be appropriated to the restoration of ecclesiastical monuments, and the execution of works of utility, which at the same time encourage art and industry and the remaiir.ng 4,476,381f. will be distributed among charitable institutions.

POETRY. RONDEL. Kiss me, sweetheart; the Spring is here, And Love is lord of you and me The blue-bells beckon each passing bee The wild wood laughs to the flowered year There is no bird in brake or brere, But to his little mate sings he, "KISs me, sweetheart; the Spring is here, And Love is lord of you and me!" The blue sky laughs out loud and clear; The missel-thrush upon the tree Pipes for sheer gladness, loud and free And I go singing to my dear, Kiss me, sweetheart; the Spring is here, And Love is lord of you and me RONDEAU. Life lapses by for you and me Our sweet days pass us by and flee; And evermore death draws us nigh The blue fades fast out of our sky The ripple ceases from our sea. What would we not sjive, you and I, The early sweet of life to buy! Alas sweetheart, that cannot we Life lapses by. But though our young years buried lie, v liall Love with Spring and Summer die ? What if the roses faded be We in each other's eyes will see New Springs, nor question how or why liife lapses by. JOHN PAYNE, in Athenaeum.

CRIME AND ACCIDENT IN SHREWSBURY. In 1400 Sir Thomas Pierce was beheaded. In 1520 Griffith Wickham was drawn through the town, and afterwards hanged. In 1532 John Goldsmith, for coining money, was drawn through the town and hanged. In 1539 Richard Brewer passing through the gate on the Welsh Bridge, a sudden gust of wind blew the gate to, which caught his head between that and the post, and squeezed his brains out. In 1541 Thomas Davies, sergeant to Mr. Nicholas Purcell, one of the bailiffs, murdered one Carr, as be was passing over the Welsh Bridge he fled to Calais, and was afterwards pardoned. In 1577 Edward Clarke, a butcher, was deprived of his Burgesship and imprisoned for abusing and striking Mr. Davies, one of the Bailiffs. In 1581, on the 24th March, John Capper, clerk of the- Abbey Church, was drawn through the town and afterwards hanged at Kingsland, for treason. In 1582, on the 4th of February, John Prestegi, alias Hill (so called because he lived with a Priest whose name was Hill) was hanged upon a gibbet erected on the green, by the water side, near the Abbey Mill, and opposite his own house, for the murder of his wife, by throwing her over Stone Bridge into the Severn. He hung there three days. In 1588, on the 19th of July, Richard Reynolds, of Bagley, near Cockshutt, was put into the pillory, by order of the Privy Council, and had both his ears cut off by Richard Stubbs, for setting fire to the sheep-cote of his brother-in-law one Gammer, where- by a great number of sheep were burnt. On the 22nd of January in the same vear the nrisoners nonfinpd in the I gaol at the Castle managed to escape, but were retaken. In May the same year there were great disturbances occasioned by setting up May-poles before the Shearmen's hall, and Mr. Tomkiss, minister'of St. Mary's, was ill- used when he endeavoured to stop the people from erecting them. The Bailiffs interfered. In 1591, on the 16th, 17th, and 18th of May, twenty prisoner were condemned to death at the assizes ten were reprieved, one (a woman) was begged off by the ladies in the town eight were hanged at the Old Heath. Edward Ixson, who bad murdered an apprentice of Matthew Stinton's, Wellington, was hung in chains. In 1606 Coton Hill was burnt, the houses were set on fire by John Tench's wife. In 1634 there was a great frost and snow: when the ice went it took down Coleham Wall, part of the Stone Bridge, and all the Wears upon the Severn. In 1647, on the 23rd of Decem- ber, a woman was burnt in the dingle of the Quarry for poisoning her husband. In 1683 there was an earth- quake, and on the 7th of February in the same year a dreadful fire in the Castle Foregate. In 1715 Lord New- port, Sir Charles Lloyd, Bart., William Kynaston, Thomas Gardner, and John Fownes, Esqs., entered into an association, and raised horse and foot, to keep guard m Shrewsbury, it being the time of the rebellion.. In 1727 there was a shock of earthquake. In the same year Shrewsbury not being courteous to the Judges, the assizes were removed to Bridgnorth, and the gallows was erected there. In 1740, Dec. 29. part of the cover of the Market- house fell down and killed two miller's horses that stood under it. In 1743 a Shearman, named Cadman, return- ing from Bishop's Castle with excise money, was robbed and murdered, May 12, near Norbury, by one Woollas- ton and his son. They were taken, the father hung himself in gaol, and the son was hung in chains. In Oct., 1744, there was a great fire at the Gullet. In 1745, there was much confusion in the town caused by false alarms of Scotch rebels. An undisciplined regiment of foot, raised by Lord Powis, rendezvoused at Shrewsbury, and several gentlemen volunteers prepared to meet the Scotch, who did not come. In 1752, on Christmas-day, two houses on the Stone Bridge, which were supported by beams crossing the navigation arch, fell into the river, owing to the decay of the end of the beams the in- mates were at church. In 1756, thirty-seven colliers were taken to gaol for rioting in the county, there being a scarcity of provisions. Four died in gaol, ten were condemned, two of whom were executed, and the rest pardoned. In 1762, Feb. 23, there was a great fire in New-street, Frankwell. In 1764, Dannely and Newcombe were sentenced and executed for stealing plate. In 1766, Feb. 12-14, snow fell to the depth of 18 inches in the streets; provisions went up in price, butter selling at 15d. a lb. In 1768, there was a great snow and hard frost, and on June 7, an extraordinary storm of hail, accompanied by thunder and lightning :-the hailstones measured 2Mn. in circumference. In 1772, Feb, 17, great alarm from a shock of earthquake shortly before mid- night. In 1774, Apr. 1, Good Friday, there was a dread- ful fire in Abbey Foregate, 47 houses burnt down, be- sides barns, stacks, itc. £ '794 18s. 9d. subscribed for relief of sufferers. In 1775, Sep. 8, another shock of earth- quake. And in 1776, an association was formed for bringing offenders to justice, called The Shrewsbury General Association." SALOPIAN. QUERIES. ABERGWEROLI—Who has a copy of Englynion y Bcddau, and what reference is there in any of them to Abergweroli ?" I have an impression from reading a Welsh paper, that they refer to the grave of one Pryderi, as being situated at the above-named place. SIGMA. A ROYAL WELSHMAN.—The Annual Register for 1771, under the date of July, records the death at Llangollen of "Owen Tudor, Esq., aged 121, a descend- ant from Henry VII., Duke of Richmond." Does the present race of Llangollenites know anything of the former existence of this royal patriarch, and anything about him? WREXHAMITK. WALES AS IT WAS.—I have in my possession an old bOJk of travels through every county in England and Wales, evidently made in the reign of King James I. The first part of the book containing 182 pages is lost and therefore the title page with author's name &c. but all the counties with maps are complete. I will give one or two quotations. At page 6G2 on Welshpool it says :— Hard by this [the town of Montgomery] Corndon flilliiiounteth up to a very great height in the top whereof are placed certaine stones in a round circle like a coronet, whence it taketh that name, in memoriall as it should seeme of some victorie. A little higher, Severn glideth downe by Trellin, that is, The towne by a poole, whereupon it is called Welch Poole in English. Then follows a description of the castle &c. At page GG5 on Merionethshire I find the following The inhabitants who for the most part wholy betake them- selues to breeding and feeding of eattaile, and Hue upon white meates, as butter, cheese, &c.. (however Strabo mocked our Britans in times past as unskdfull in making cheese) are for stature, cleere complexion, goodly feature & lineaments of body, inferior to no nation in Britain but they haue an ill name among their neighbours, for being to forward in the wanton loue of women, and that proceeding from their idlenesse. Can any of your readers inform me as to the author's name and title of the book ? It contained when complete over 800 pages. MOEL FAMMA. REPLIES.

NOVELTY, AS A RLLE, IS A DELUSION.—The truth of the above sentence was never more clearly proved, than in case of Public Medicine, during the 33 years Jones' Tremadoc Pills have been before and benefitting the Public. Hundreds of novelties in that time appeared, and most of them disappeared. The old medicine still remains in name and quality and go forth to bene- fit suffering humanity, so if anyone is troubled with INDIGES- ;-ioN-, snil its long train of diseases, use TRF.MAPOC PILLS.
